Coffee is one of the most consumed drinks in the nation and is known to give consumers an extra burst of caffeine into their system. Coffee is a flavor that can be thrown to protein shakes, dessert, milkshakes, and even ice cream! Being one of millions of people to drink coffee it is no doubt that it is very helpful to stay awake and energized. However, with these many consumers of coffee including myself, it has come into question wither the caffeinated drink that millions of people are consuming is healthy for long term mortality, and how many cups can one drink to have it still be included in a healthy diet?
Recent studies show that coffee could help reduce stress. In an experiment, half of the mice were given caffeine in their water and the other half had regular plain water. Then they were all put into stressful situations such as water, cold baths, cages tilted to 45 degrees. And surprisingly, only the mice that had no caffeine intake experienced stress behaviour. A Harvard study also states that it decrease suicidal rate by 50 %. Then, you might think why coffee and not energy drinks? Because not only does the caffeine in coffee help with stress relief, but as well as the fragrance of coffee. A study conducted by a team in Seoul National University found that coffee bean aroma increased the activity of 11 genes and decreased the activity of 2 genes in mice, minimising the stress due to deprived sleep. It also improved genes that produce protein and healthy antioxidants.Yes, it has health benefits
Just as there are positive effects from caffeine there are also negative effects. Caffeine is addictive. If you are a dedicated daily coffee drinker and one day decide to give it up you will have withdrawal side effects which could include: headaches, anxiety, agitation, and restlessness.
Coffee can be good for you because it wards away diabetes.

Coffee is one of the most popular beverages worldwide. Eighty-three percent of Americans drink coffee daily, and some more than one cup. Coffee is made by the grinding of roasted coffee seeds, also known as coffee beans, adding hot water allowing it to flow through the coffee grinds. Coffee was traditionally introduced as an energy booster to get people through the day. Today, coffee is also a social mechanism where people feel required to drink it every day. The aspect that makes coffee so addictive is the caffeine. Caffeine is not addictive the way meth or cocaine is but regular use of caffeine as a stimulate, can cause mild physical dependence. However, coffee is addicting it does allow many health benefits. Coffee can reduce the risk of type two diabetes and increase the possibility of preventing oral cancers. But like all good things, drinking coffee should not be abused, like coach Phil from Kicking & Screaming, who throughout the main part of the movie, chugged cups after cups of cappuccinos. Drinking a large amount of coffee does pose several cons. A con of coffee is an increase in anxiety, and have a negative effect on prescribed medicine.
Black coffee is typically composed of caffeine, potassium, magnesium, manganese, riboflavin, niacin, and low levels of sodium (Coffee & Health n.pag). Coffee’s ingredients also depend on the type of added flavors, sugars, etcetera. Coffee contains the excess of about 95 percent water, in moderation, drinking coffee cannot lead to dehydration (Coffee & Health n. pag). Though, because coffee contains slightly elevated levels of caffeine in comparison to energy drinks, it impacts the central nervous system more quickly.

Cancer unfortunately is such a common tragedy that many people encounter personally or through a family/friends lifetime. I wanted to know the specific components of coffee that decreased risks of developing cancer and how effective this was. I found that as of 2010 there were nearly 400 published studies of epidemiologic research on the topic of coffee and cancer [4]. This shows that there is a large amount of interest in this topic and much research dedicated to discovering findings. Coffee consumption has claims to most typically help lessen the risk of developing liver, renal, skin, ovarian, colorectal, esophagus, and pharyngeal cancer [1]. The rich phytochemisty/antioxidant component of coffee is what lowers the risk of developing cancer. One study taken showed results of a 36% decrease risk for nonmelanoma skin cancer from six or more cups of caffeinated coffee daily [1]. Malignant hepatoma (HCC) is a common form of liver cancer which can be prevented more so with coffee consumption [1]. Liver cancer is the 5th most common cancer in males and 8th in females [5]. Three separate studies showed the results of a high consumption of coffee (6+ cups) compared to a almost never consumption (<1 cup) which gave a 50%, 55% and 43% reduction rate for liver cancer in subjects [5]. Between 1990 and 2003 among 147,227 subjects, 3 cohorts, and 15 case-control studies, and 11 countries, the results showed a 24% lower risk of colon cancer per cup consumed from
