Great Thread ... Since I am a coffee expert, I can guarantee you the following:

Coffee is drunk all over the world, everyday, by both young and old but like many other things we enjoy in our evryday life, we sometimes question whether it is good for us. From the thousands of studies done on coffee, it is becoming increasingly clear, that drinking a moderate amount of up to 2 cups a day (one in the morning and one in the afternoon) is not harmful and may even have some health benefits. It can for instance enhance your mood, increase your energy, and may lessen the risks of certain diseases. Note that coffee is also good for the liver.

But ... When you drink more that 4 cups a day, HON EL KERSE ... Major disadvantages may happen, and I note:
1- Heartburn.
2- Stomach pain.
3- Increasing of Cholesterol.
4- Bad for the baby (for pregnant women).
5- Alzheimer (with time).
6- Sleeping problems (Since coffee is a stimulator).
7- Osteoporosis (with time).
8- Dehydration.

MY Advises to Everyone of you ... (Based on a long experience in this field) are:
1- Drink Max 2 cups of coffee during the day.
2- Drink it with Caffeine (if it ain't caffeinated, it ain't coffee).
3- (FOR GUYS ONLY): LIKE your coffee like women: hot, strong, and steamy.

Coffee.. My supreme addiction...
3-4 cups per day distributed as follows: 2 cups in the morning, 1 cup or 2 cups after lunch, aside with the nescafe thingy on my way to work.. And seriously I cant reduce this number, I have tried but failed... Work+Stress+...+... = You need coffee to survive .
On the other hand, Ive asked many doctors about the side effects of coffe and they advised me to keep my daily consuption below 4 cups and everything will run smoothly...

And for renard I say: Akid morra.. no doubt

I don't drink cofee exept nescafe in the afternoon at home when I get sleepy, In university I don't drink coffe coz its not good so I just fall asleep in the class room, specially after a meal at BK or MacDo honik l kerseh (disaster not chair).

Anyway I don't think its that bad, and if its bad, you can allways drink it without Cafeine but I noticed everyone here drink it to have a cafeine "dose" so don't know if my advice is good.

This means you are avoiding the following health risks (as mentioned by Renard):

1- Heartburn.
2- Stomach pain.
3- Increasing of Cholesterol.
4- Bad for the baby (for pregnant women).
5- Alzheimer (with time).
6- Sleeping problems (Since coffee is a stimulator).
7- Osteoporosis (with time).
8- Dehydration.

on the way...

yes , the day can't pass by without coffee, you feel the walls are falling on you by afternoon. definitely your performance is at risk when you arn't drinking coffee ( I am talking about work ...). the subject has been for ever on studies , but I think it goes back to a general rule as long as you dont abuse it it shouldn't hurt you . keep in mind though that for some conditions such as heartburn and ulcers, even small amount of coffe can bother you .and for those on diets , coffee makes you hungry so it doesn't help !!

Very good info OTW,

Still though I wonder why all the sudden positive effects of Coffee... What I mean is sometime we hear bad stuff and sometimes good.. but lately wherever you read , in magazines , in journals, in newspapers, on the internet there is this positive atmosphere surrounding the coffee effects (I also realized on the references above, its all 2005-2006)..
I wonder if the Coffee industry such as Starbucks, Coffee Bean, and others lobbying !!!!!!!
