A lot of things can happen with Coffee !

 CoffeeCoffee is a widely-consumed stimulant beverage prepared from roasted seeds of the coffee plant, commonly called coffee beans. First consumed in the 9th century, coffee today is one of the most popular beverages worldwide. In 2004, coffee was the top agricultural export for 12 countries, and in 2005, it was the world's seventh largest legal agricultural export by value.

Many studies have examined relationship between coffee consumption and certain medical conditions. Effective research is ongoing in following areas --- coffee and mental performance; coffee in the workplace; coffee and antioxidants; coffee and liver function; coffee and exercise performance; coffee and Parkinson's disease; coffee and safer driving; coffee and social pleasure; coffee and cancer; coffee and hydration. For your own awareness, do note the following:

1. Moderate coffee consumption actually decreases the risk of coronary heart disease, type 2diabetes, liver injury, pancreatic cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, breast cancer incidence, or certain types of cancers.
2. Arguments galore about coffee to be treated as a drug because of qualities like addiction, stimulancy, and mood-altering. True when consumed in excess or without discipline. But nutritionists would rather have people drinking coffee than soda pops or sugared aerated drinks.
3. Coffee consumption in excess increases urine secretion, leading to loss of important minerals such as magnesium, potassium and sodium and uses up a fair amount of vitamin B1. However, several studies conducted have established that people who drink coffee consume an average of 8 to 14% more minerals and vitamins than people that don't drink coffee. Thus loss of minerals and vitamin is made up by consumption of food and daily multi-vitamins.
