I'm imagining it is if you put a ton of creamer or sugar or whatever in it but I like to drink mine black....so, is just plain coffee bad for you?

There are some new studies that show normal coffee consumption is not only not bad for you, but good for you. Coffee is LOADED with antioxidants that help eliminate free radicals in your blood stream.

I think as long as you don't cram your coffee full of artificial creamer and sugar...or drink 20 cups a day, you'll be fine.

There is really no nutrional value to coffee. It's not "bad" for you. If you want your caffine fix try drinking green tea. Green tea is way healthier but if you really like your coffee there's no real problem (besides what you already pointed out...creamer, sugar)

i don't think any studies have shown any serious negative effects
however, it has been shown that if you drink too much:
- you'll have a higher risk of stomach aches
- you'll suffer from mood shifts, especially down. A lot fo caffeine is know to have a depressing effect
- you may have some cardiac arrythmia, though no studies have shown that this increased the risk of cardiac accidents
i think that the lethal dose of caffeine would require something like 100 espressos or even more, so no risk there

Some people would say yes, but I say NO!
Ive been drinking coffee for 15+ years and i'm as healthy as they get! That's about 5 cups a day sometimes more sometimes less.

if you drink 400 cups in one day, you will die from it....that fact is proven. But no regular black coffee really isnt bad for you, depending on how many cups you drink.

well it is bad to over drink it. it is not anything serious to drink a cup or two a day. but if you were asking like strictly "is it bad" yes. it has a lot of caffine, and other chemicals.so yeah it is kinda.

i dont think it is, my family is hispanic, even my little brother drinks coffee in the morning(lol) it is not addictive or anything, i used to drink but stopped several years ago when i got my braces and wanted to whiten my teeth.
oh and caffeine is not that bad, chocolate has it too and it does not hurt you when you eat it.
