Question

for health... thanx for answering

Answer 1

No pros to being addicted to caffeine. Cons are: if you don't have it when you "need it" major headaches, sleepiness, etc... Same cons as being addicted to anything else.

Answer 2

The good bits


The main effect of caffeine on the body is as a stimulant to the central nervous system. Caffeine is associated with an increase in intellectual activity, but this only appears to be significant if the person is tired or bored. In these situations, however, it certainly makes people feel more alert and less fatigued. Coffee after lunch helps to counteract the common 'dip' in concentration. Caffeine has also been shown to be beneficial to night workers. Caffeinated coffee can also help to prevent road accidents, according to the Sleep Research Laboratory at University of Loughborough

There is strong evidence that coffee has a protective effect against the development of colon cancer, if more than four cups a day are drunk. Higher intakes may give more protection

Coffee contains anti-oxidant chemicals, and so may have a role in the prevention of heart disease and certain cancers, although these benefits are theoretical, and as yet unconfirmed

Caffeine has a beneficial affect on airways constriction in asthma sufferers, but the intake needs to be quite high to moderate an asthma attack

There is some evidence to suggest that coffee may reduce the risk of developing kidney stones and gallstones.
