SYSTEMS IN THE BODY.
ARE THERE EFFECTS YOU WORRY ABOUT- AND WHICH ARE NO GROUNDS FOR

FOR STARTERS:
COFFEE DOES NOT CAUSE CANCER. SOME STUDIES HAD SUGGESTED A LINK BETWEEN
COFFEE AND BREAST CANCER AND CANCER OF THE PANCREAS BUT FURTHER STUDIES
SAYNO.
COFFEE DOES NOT CAUSE HEART DISEASE:A STUDY OF MORE THAN 121 THOUSAND
PEOPLE FOUND NO INCREASED RISK OVER A LIFETIME OF COFFEE CONSUMPTION.
THERE CAN HOWEVER BE PROBLEMS WITH HIGH DOSES OF CAFFEINE- MEANING 8-10
CUPS PER DAY .. SOME STUDIES HAVE FOUND HEAVY COFFEE DRINKERS RUN A
HIGHER RISK OF OSTROPOROSIS- THE THINNING OF BONES.. AND MAY ALSO HAVE
SOME PAINFUL CHANGES IN BREAST TISSUE ESPECIALLY AROUND MENSTRUAL
PERIODS.
SOME STUDIES ALSO SUGGEST HEAVY COFFEE DRINKING CAN INCREASE A WOMANS
RISK OF INFERTILITY.
BUT IF YOURE A PERSON WHO HAS JUST A CUP OR TWO OF JAVA EACH DAY- HEALTH
PROBLEMS ARE FEW.. AND MINOR.
IF YOURE NOT USED TO IT. COFFEE CAN MAKE YOU FEEL JITTERY.
CAFFEINE ALSO RAISES BLOOD PRESSURE- BUT NOT MUCH- ABOUT 1 POINT PER
CUP.
CAFFEINE MAY INTERACT WITH CERTAIN
MEDICINES SUCH AS ANTIOBIOTICS AND
BIRTH CONTROL PILLS... SO BE SURE TO CHECK WITH YOUR DOCTOR ABOUT MIXING
CAFFEINE WITH ANY DRUG.
AND CAFFEINE CAN BE ADDICTIVE- IF YOU NOTICE ABOUT 6-8 HOURS AFTER YOUR
