Have to find out why the movie nixed coffee and tea...
Movie for freee at Hulu:
CONS (of coffee drinking)
- Eventually, a tolerance to coffee is developed and the effects of the caffeine aren’t as significant (your metabolism gets used to processing coffee). You become more and more addicted to the effects and require greater quantities to get that caffeine buzz.
- Ingesting large amounts of coffee (2-6 cups, depending on age/size/gender) over a short period of time actually induces nervousness, stress, anxiety, nausea, upset stomach, impeded brain function, rambling thoughts/speech, irregular heartbeat, and increased urination
- Caffeine is addicting. If you don’t drink something with caffeine in it for even a period of a day, you’ll be tired, depressed, distracted, irritated, and stressed.
- If you consume too much caffeine, you’ll lose calcium from your bones which may lead to osteoporosis
- Having too much caffeine (generally over 3 cups a day) while pregnant increases risk of miscarriage
- Long-term consumption of coffee can lead to ulcers, gastroesophageal reflux disease, and erosive esophagitis. This occurs because coffee increases the production of stomach acid.
Remember that these effects vary depending on many factors – gender,
age, weight, liver function, metabolic rate, and more. Coffee has many
pros and cons, as you can see. The key is: don’t overdo it. Drink one
cup a day (two at most) and you should be fine. If you ever want to
quit, it’s best to reduce caffeine intake gradually so you don’t suffer
the withdrawal symptoms.
