Answer 1

thats alot of coffee your breath must stink

Answer 2

A high caffeine intake is not good for your heart, drink decaf or cut down to 1 or 2 cups a day.

Some people are genetically more likely to get diabetes than others, in particular afro-carribeans and asians (3 to 5 times more likely)

Whether you should be taking sugar or creamer or not depends on your BMI (body mass index), basically, are you overweight or not?

All you can do is keep your weight down to within recommended levels and eat healthily and excercise. This will not prevent diabetes but it minimises the risk and may delay the onset if you are going to get it anyway.
Also, if you get used to eating healthily now, it will be easier to manage diabetes if you do develop it in the future.

Coffee itself is no worse for diabetics than anyone else, except that they are more at risk of heart disease.

Answer 3

Along with all of the other answers, caffiene can cause some circulatory problems, which can make the circulatory problems from the diabetes even worse. One or two caffenated drinks a day won't hurt, and most studies show that this amount can help reduce the risk of many diseases, including diabetes and alzhiemers, but 10 cups is probably too much.

Answer 4

That is excessive.

Drinking coffee has the effect on the body of stimulating the Adrenal glands. This perks you up and increases your metabolism to give you more energy (puts your body into over-drive for a short time). If you drink an excessive amount of coffee, that has the effect of keeping your Adrenal glands in constant operation. Your body cannot handle this.

Under normal circumstances, your Adrenal glands release adrenaline so your body can react to an emergency situation - its the 'fight or flight' response - and then go back to normal when the emergency is over. If the Adrenal glands are in almost constant activation and releasing adrenaline into your body, they will soon not be able to produce adrenaline and shut down (adrenal exhaustion). The side effects of that will be serious - lethargy, apathy, slow metabolism - and the tendency then is to keep taking something just so you are able to do something, anything at all.

Plus, given the amount of extra foreign material in the body, your liver has to work harder. This will tend to causing your liver to not allow proper nutrients through into your bloodstream or to not filter out the waste and bi-products of normal body function. It will become less effective. The onflow of that leads to such things as rectal bleeding - with the increased toxins and things in your bloodstream you become susceptible to disease and other pathogens. Its the function of the liver to filter these when the kidneys detect them in the bloodstream. Once detected, the kidneys route the affected blood to the liver for cleansing which then routes the blood back to the kidneys to re-enter the bloodstream. If the liver does not or cannot clean the blood, it will route the tainted blood to waste. This is done by routing it direct to the bowels to be excreted so it can be gotten rid of as quickly as possible. Hence, rectal bleeding.

How do I know all this? I am currently helping a friend through a full medical handling to correct this. He had the added situation of his liver not functioning fully and allowing a toxic buildup of lead and arsenic (both present in normal food supply) because they were not being removed.

So, before your Adrenals shut down, cut back on the coffee.

Answer 5

Yes and no. While coffee and diet soda are calorie free, they both contain caffeine, usually, and they do not help at all with a healthy diet. There is something about the carbonated water in the pop and while the coffee is a good alternative it should be decaffenated. Problem arises when the 2 cups become 3 & 4 & so on. A good alternative is herbal tea like pepermint , herl Grey, and naturaly caffeine free green tea. Caffeine, while a diuretic , which is good extra water is necc. + 8 cups daily Minnimum

Answer 10

Well, the caffinee in the coffee is not good for u, and it makes your teeth yellow. But if your blood sugar is staying low, then, I would ask my doctor about it in the next month or so.

Answer 11

It is lower than normal because your metabolism is in HIGH GEAR due to the coffee. NO, coffee in any amount, is not good for you.
10 cups will lead to serious medical problems.
