Yes - Coffee is a drug - it makes you feel different, affects your mood, is addictive and has many, many harmful characteristics!
Fact 1
Coffee contains 1000 chemicals. Only 26 of these have been tested - of those 13 caused cancer in rats! Not only is caffeine a carcinogen, but coffee contains many other harmful ones from the high heat of roasting - like creosote, pymdine, tars and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
It has been shown to increase the risk of cancers in the pancreas, ovaries, bladder and kidneys.

Fact 2
Coffee contains Phenol compounds that make it harder for your body to absorb iron (especially bad for pregnant women). Caffeine crosses the placenta and can not be processed by the unborn baby. Just 2 cups a day increases the risk of miscarriage. 3 Cups raises the heart & breathing rates and causes lack of sleep and irritability in babies for days after birth! This vital period for your child can be severely affected by this cocktail of chemicals.
A higher level of caffeine in animals has shown premature birth, delivery complications, low birth weight and birth defects. Human studies have shown an increase in the rate of miscarriages, stillbirths, breech births and low birth weight.
Pregnant women metabolize caffeine 3 times slower than non-pregnant women.

Fact 3
Coffee raises the adrenaline level in your body, heavy coffee drinking can cause a state of adrenal gland exhaustion. This can lead to a host of problems like weakened immune response, anxiety and panic attacks. This adrenalin 'rush' can be a trigger for a recovering drug addict / alcoholic to go on a binge.
It is also a diuretic making it easier for you to become dehydrated and contributes to heartburn by stimulating the secretion of stomach acid. It also increases blood pressure increasing the risk of stroke and can make expensive medications useless.
It is the leading cause of lack of sleep, coffee drinkers being much more groggy and sleepy in the morning, causing them to depend on coffee to get going.
Quitting coffee cold turkey can have adverse affects including depression, anxiety, nausea, headaches and fatigue. Coffee also increases the symptoms of quitting smoking increasing your chances of failure.
