It depends on what you put in the coffee.  A lot of whipped cream and sugar can add up to hundreds of calories, and that will put the fat around your middle.\n\nYou can get black coffee with diet sweetener and cinnamon for zero calories, if you just have to hang out at Starbucks.

I burned a hole in my stomach from taking NoDoz and Vivarin (another caffiene pill) for a few months...the job I was working demanded that I stay awake until 6:00 a.m. every night.  These aren't bad if they are only occasional but don't take them on a daily basis or you too can burn a hole in your stomach...and let me tell you, it hurt really really bad.

Yes, it seems coffee takes away the calcium from our body not only from the bones. Therefore, it is not advisable to take too much coffee and also it defeats the purpose of calcium supplementation if you swallow calcium tablets with coffee.It is the caffeine that is the culprit that depletes the calcium.

I was told by my doctor that too much caffeine can cause cysts to form in the breasts (nothing cancerous, but they could cause tenderness).  However, you have to have a very large intake over a very long time for this to happen.  Some women also have tenderness during ovulation or right before ther period.  If could also be from working out too strenously (especially any cardio that has a lot of up and down movements, or any weights using the arms and pecs).  If it's something you've never felt before, gets worse in a day, or lasts longer than 2-3 days, you should probably go see your doctor just to be on the safe side.

Two different mechanisms at work here.  1) The coffee, actually the caffeine, speeds gastric motility resulting in more "explosive" exiting of fecal matter.  2) The ingredients in slim fast naturally produce more "gas" because of their contents.  This is an expected side-effect of using this particular diet aid.  Many others on the market do the same thing, and it should be expected.  So, while dieting you might want to avoid formal social events until your body gets used to the new diet, which it will in time.

Black coffee will not make you gain weight. In fact, the caffeine in coffee would burn calories - although it would not be a noticeable amount and caffeine as a diet aid is not recommended.\n\nIf you drink coffee with cream and/or sugar, or a coffee-like drink from popular coffeehouses, then you have to look at the amount of calories in those.

caffeine won't cause you to have decalcified areas around your brackets but what the caffeine came in will if it has sugar...trick here is to brush ever so carefully every day around those brackets and really, try to limit your sugar intake and cola intake due to the acidity of the colas

YES!!!  Absolutely.  Diet Coke, unless it's "caffeine free," has just as much caffeine as regular Coke, and caffeine increases heart rate which can trigger and/or intensify anxiety.  My boyfriend used to suffer from anxiety attacks, and he found that caffeine could trigger them. \n\nHere's the math:  Soda generally contains between 10-50mg of caffeine per serving--  but if you're having 64 ounces (or 5 cans) per day and there are 2 servings per can, that's 100-500mg of caffeine, which is equivalent to about 2 cups of caffeinated coffee... That's a significant intake, even by itself!\n\nSo I would suggest, based on that, to cut back your intake of caffeine per day.  I recommend switching to "caffeine free" diet coke.

Caffine is not good for dieters, it promotes fat storage apparently!...;

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.

Yes. Utter lack of taste. Sanka is what's leftover when a good cup of coffee take a crap.\n\nSeriously, like any other caffeinated beverage, too much can cause heart palpitations and tremors.

there are traces of caffine in decaf coffee.  If you are not a regular coffee drinker, the decaf can stimulate you.  If you begin the regiment of drinking decaf regularly, then you will have to up grade to caffinated eventually.  I suggest not to drink coffee unless you feel you need it.

To get energy usually,sometimes they try it and like the taste,they get addicted to it.Some studies have shown that if you drink a cup of coffee a day it will help to not get Parkinsons.On the other hand studies have shown that it may increase your chance to get arthritis.

No, I dont need to lose any weight, but I looked up what it is, and it seems to be mostly caffeine in it, with a few vitamins...it'd probably be cheaper for you to have caffeine/coffee with a multivitamin.

Yes, you should count coffee and black tea - as a minus!!\n\nReason: They are dehydrating.\n\nAs a doctor told me, our body is actually not built to get calories/energy with liquid, except as a child, so better drink as little beer or fruit juice as possible. Both contain more energy than milk and can make you fat as well...\n\nSo the best is to stick to water to get your liquid intake recommended.
