What are some harmful effects coffee and tea has on your body?!


Question: They are not really harmful, in moderation. Coffee and tea are mild diuretics, so if you don't get enough fluid intake they can cause dehydration, but not the life-threatening kind. They are stimulants so if you drink too much of them before bedtime they can cost you some sleep, so you're not at your best the next day. And some people can get an upset stomach if they drink too much coffee. Oh, and they say it stains your teeth (I don't know about that.)

That's about it. Every so often I read a report about some new proof that coffee causes cancer, but within a few days the report is debunked. Coffee and tea have never been found to cause any serious health problems.
