current research reveals that in moderation—a few cups a day—coffee is a safe beverage that may even offer some health benefits.....Studies show that the risk for type 2 diabetes is lower among regular coffee drinkers than among those who don't drink it. Also, coffee may reduce the risk of developing gallstones, discourage the development of colon cancer, improve cognitive function, reduce the risk of liver damage in people at high risk for liver disease, and reduce the risk of Parkinson's disease. Coffee has also been shown to improve endurance performance in long-duration physical activities. For those who drink coffee to stay alert, new research suggests that you'll stay more alert, particularly if you are fighting sleep deprivation, if you spread your coffee consumption over the course of the day.
On the ohter hand, coffee does have modest cardiovascular effects such as increased heart rate, increased blood pressure, and occasional irregular heartbeat that should be considered. But, the negative effects of coffee tend to emerge in excessive drinking so it is best to avoid heavy consumption.

coffee is pretty bad for the body
the cafein causes the heart to beat irracticly for a while and it dehydrates the body. although when used with moderation you shouldn't get any problems. A dietician once told me that its not recommended to drink over 3 doses of cafein per day.

Actually I heard in a study that it was ok to drink it but too much of anything has a side effect eventually

in moderation, it is fine.
the caffeine definitely helps you wake up and be more alert in the morning, but some people get addicted to the caffeine very quickly and will get horrible headaches if they don't have their morning cup.
also, a nice warm cup of coffee on a cold gray morning is the perfect thing to get you going. conversely, a nice warm cup of coffee on a hot muggy summer morning sort of sucks.
i've always found the caffeiney goodness to be worth the addiction.

As with anything moderation is the key. A couple cups of java a day can actually be beneficial to your heart. More than that is excessive.

Too much of anything is good for nothing.If you ask me,don't drink coffee at all.Because once you start,believe me,you won't be able to stop.

If you enjoy coffee. Enjoy it. I wouldn't suggest replacing your water with coffee...but don't be afraid to have a couple cups a day. It won't hurt you.

we know for a fact that coffee contains caffaine and this caffiene is a threat to our health but recent studies shows that coffee contains antioxidants that helps fight cancer.
its ok to drink coffee but just drink it w/ moderation:)
