Is caffeine bad for you if...?!


Question: you only have a tiny bit? I'm a fourteen year old girl who likes to drink instant coffee (one teaspoon)once every to every other day but my mom is freaking out and won't let me anymore because she says it awful for me. I don't think the amount I'm consuming is harmful at all...maybe even beneficial. what do you think

Most will say that a little (as in a cup) a day will be ok, However keep in mind that caffine is a vasoconstrictor.
Being a stimulant, caffeine works on the central nervous system and makes you more alert. But that's not all. It also acts as a vasoconstrictor (constricts your blood vessels), as a diuretic, and it may even increase blood pressure. It can cause other reactions in some people. Though usually not classified as an addictive drug, caffeine can be addictive in the sense that you can experience withdrawal symptoms if you stop taking it.
So the best thing is Not to even start. Drink Milk and water

yes it is a drug

yaa you could get addicted but cofee is good for you !!

Some people are sensitive enough that a tiny bit of coffee can do them harm. You shouldn't drink coffee until you have gone through all of your growth spurts.

Instant coffee isn't real coffee, like soda pop isn't fruit juice! The real stuff has been found to have health benefits for you recently.

its not good for you in 40 and i don't drink coffee never liked the taste ill drink coke its a little less caffeine still no good for you i know people i work with that drink coffee until they go to bed at night. and I've noticed those same people smoke cigs like crazy ewwww i prefer to wake up naturally

sorry its bad for us. its legal speed.an addictive!!!

I drink it once a week and I am 11! I am also healthy so it is okay.

You're allowed so much of caffein among other things,
in the line of nutrition, and what you eat, it is a problem!
when you over take what is allowed, but it's better to
not start with too much coffee, and sodas, it will be just
as good tasting if you used decaffeinated coffee and
caffein free beverages.

acording to scientists caffiene is ok in small amounts

No. While I would opt for fresh coffee rather than the instant stuff, coffee contains antioxidants which are good for you in small doses. Everything in moderation.

caffeine is a drug, it can help you relax a bit, but it will also slow down your growth, its like a give-take thing..., just have it once in awhile and you should be fine
