What are the reasons why coffee is bad for you?
That is such a mixed question. Coffee lowers your risk of Alzheimer's disease and dementia.
It increases your risk of heart disease.
High stress levels and a type A personality increase your risk of a heart attack. Coffee
may simply be the addiction to highly wired people to get even more wound up.
Coffee is bad for your digestive tract.
Tobacco is linked to an increased risk of stomach cancer, throat cancer and lung cancer.
Coffee doesn't have that, but it is a diuretic.
That's something that makes you pee a lot. Is that dangerous?
The chronic dehydration of drinking coffee and not drinking enough water to offset it
does cause health problems. Dehydration leads to a build up minerals in the body.
I'm sure there is a detox for that.
We don't normally consume toxins that build up in the body. But a lack of hydration, which
coffee isn't, does cause kidney stones and increase the risk of gall bladder stones.
I've heard those are painful.
It is likened to the pain of giving birth every time you try to ride a riding lawnmower
or bumpy car ride, as the jagged mineral shards bounce around inside, even cutting you up.
How do they get rid of it? Surgery?
Surgery is necessary for the biggest ones. These days, they can use massive shocks of
ultrasound to break it up, before the pain begins.
I though that breaking it up would solve the problem.
The harder part is passing the pieces through as you pee, though that process is supposed
to be less painful overall than going through abdominal surgery.
I think I'll put down the coffee and get an herbal tea.
Tea has caffeine and dehydrates as well. Try flavored water.
Coke?
Fruit flavored water, no caffeine.
No fun. No buzz.
No kidney disease, no surgery, no gall stones.
