Yes it would be detrimental!. Caffeine is a good stimulant!. It is also needed to help transport sugars and other things around our system!. But like everything too much is not good!.

Once we reach 300 mg per day then we start to have some health problems related to it!. Most of the health effects take a while to build up but can cause problems with the heart, kidneys, brain, skin, and other organs!.

The immediate effects of too much caffeine are normally sleeping problems, headaches, and dehydration!. It takes more water to process caffeine than a caffeinated drink provides!. This means it actually dehydrates us!.

Being dehydrated causes us to feel tired and lethargic!. So people who drink too much caffeine feel tired and think they need a boost so they drink more!. The best thing to do is drink at least as much water with the coffee!. Water will offset the loss of water from the caffeine!. Plus proper hydration will increase our energy levels and motabolism by 3%!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Coffee in moderate dosages does not affect the health!. But it has the tendency to induce the drinker to become an addict!. The direct effect of this is that the intake of other food articles get diminished over a period of time!. Coffee inhibits hunger and if not drunk after becoming an addict, makes the person irritable and nervous!.

It is better to control the habit in the beginning rather than to avoid at a later stage!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
