well caffeine doesn't give you energy per se.\n\nbut what it basically does is give you an "energy high."\n\nwhat this means is that it speeds up your metabolism, making everything seemingly faster.\n\nnow, the reason why caffeine may be bad for you is that it basically messes up your metabolism, which are usually the "caffeine lows" which are basically when you feel like you have no energy.\n\nso thats why. also it can become addictive. also it may be bad for you skin.

Too much of any caffeine can lead to the development of gastritis (irritation/inflammation of the stomach lining) which can lead to ulcer formation. This includes coffee, tea and certain types of sodas/pops.

DON'T use sugar and caffeine it's bad for you! get regular exercise and you will feel more energy in you all day and then at night when it's time to go to sleep you'll zonk like a lightbulb! exercise is a MUCH healthier alternative for people like us who are in school, I know it's hard to stay awake sometimes but if you get about two hours of exercise everyday, after about two weeks you'll see a tremendous difference! If your body is healthier you'll have lots more energy. Oh and eat healthy, avoid sugar you will not feel so great at first but later you feel better.

Biologically speaking, caffeine impedes the speed of cell reproduction. So seeing as how thousands and thousands of dead skin cells are shed each day, we replenish our cells constantly. Caffeine also severely dehydrates you.\n\nBut as long as you watch your caffeine intake and hydrate, no problems should be too noticeable.

Coffee as you know contains caffeine. Depending on the variety used the caffeine content can vary.  This has the ability to stimulate the brain.  However, overdosing on caffeine can have the reverse affect.  Think Incredible Hulk Syndrome.  Further, caffeine and other substances within the coffee can speed up your heart, too fast.\n\nThe real danger comes from consuming, unwittingly, more caffeine from other sources, such Coca Cola chocolate etc.\n\nHowever, moderation is the watch word.\n\nMy favourite stimulant is TEA [Camellia sinensis]. I consume gallons of it everyday. \n\nOf course it does contain equal amounts of caffeine, as coffee.  Tea does have other inherent health properties.

(m)\n\nCaffeine is found in Coke, Jolt Cola, coffee and chocolate.\nYoung people and teenagers can consume high intakes of caffeine through cola drinks and ice coffee. High doses can cause heart arrhythmia.\nThis usually happens at intakes of more than 600mg of caffeine. This could be equivalent to 10 cups or more of coffee. Caffeine appears to be addictive. \nCaffeine is a stimulant that is often consumed to enhance alertness and concentration. Concentration of caffeine peaks in the blood within 30 to 60 minutes after the first sip and the effects last about four to six hours. Moderate consumption of caffeine is considered to be about 200-300 mg. (about the equivalent of 2-3 cups). Drinking too much caffeine (especially for people who don’t normally consume much) can cause nervousness, anxiety, sleep problems and a temporary increase in heart rate. Excess consumption may increase the risk of headache and elevated blood pressure. \n\nThe amount of caffeine in drinks varies greatly. An 8-ounce cup of brewed coffee contains 65 to 120 mg. of caffeine. However, some coffees may contain as much as 250 mg. of caffeine. A one-ounce serving of espresso contains about 30 to 50 mg. of caffeine. By comparison, a cup of decaf coffee (which is really not caffeine-free) contains 2 to 40 mg. of caffeine. An eight-ounce cup of brewed tea contains 20 to 90 mg. of caffeine. Iced tea tends to have less caffeine, ranging from 24 to 31 mg. of caffeine for an 8-ounce glass. Hot chocolate (8 ounces) contains 3 to 32 mg. of caffeine and a glass of chocolate milk contains 2 to 7 mg. A one-ounce serving of milk chocolate contains about 1 to 15 mg. of caffeine, while dark, semi-sweet chocolate has 5 to 35 mg.

first of all, understand that you'll find stuff that is bad for you in everything you consume.... moderation is the key. caffeine is bad for you, but only if you consume lots of it... sugar is bad for you consumed in large amounts, and artificial sweeteners are no different. salt is bad for you - again in large amounts.

There has been no conclusive study showing that coffee or caffeine stunts your growth. However excessive coffee consumption can have a negative impact on your health. \n\nFrom personal experience, my twin sister and I are prime examples.  She has never had a sip of coffee in her life.  I started drinking coffee in 2nd grade.  She's 5'2", and I'm 5'8".  Go figure.  I think it's different for each individual and their own body chemistry and how it reacts to caffeine.

Drinking any of these beverages would not be better than others in any way although it's widely prescribed that tea and real cocoa is healthy for you.  Of course, the key is moderation and not over consuming any of these beverages in large amounts.  Unfortunately we're all use to 32oz coffees at Starbucks so that might be why coffee is considered "bad".\n\nI've linked some articles below that describes benefits for each type of beverage.  I've chosen only article from reputable sources (as opposed to those who are selling products) so I hope you find some use out of it all.

whats wrong with caffine?  Caffine is a fat burner but the appetite suppressant is a plant extract called hoodia.  A fat burner there are different kinds like a thyroid or a thermal suppliment.  This is what I use its a thermogenic to boost metabolism and reduces the effects of stress and fatigue.  Its got some other scientific mumble jumble crap too it was rated number one in a fitness magazine by consumers as well.  http://www.prosource.net/product.jsp?path=-1|6430&id=12148  Looking to lose weight i suggest eating clean foods and cardio 30-45min 3-4 times a week.  Don't expect to just take pills for a little bit to do all the work.

It is bad for your nervous system. Anything to excess is bad.  Try half calf coffee and stevia as a natural sweetner.  Stevia does not raise your blood sugar.  Try a natural vitamin as well synthetic vitamins dont have all the nutritional layers.

Two cups of coffee is about half the recommended maximum daily caffiene intake for males. (100mg)\n\nCoffee had been proven to improve mental alertness and general cognative ability. As long as you're not drinking energy drinks as well as coffee, you shouldn't be experiencing anything other than minor side effects.
