Many people consider coffee a guilty pleasure, knowing it helps with concentration, energy levels and mood boosting. Yet they also realize it can harm them in terms of stomach ulcers or worsening other health problems. While studies suggest too much coffee consumption is detrimental, the truth may vary depending on individual consumption levels as well as genetic makeup – the article below offers insight into how your body metabolizes caffeine and whether or not it causes harm to organs.

People often blame coffee for giving them stomachaches because it is so acidic and consumed on an empty stomach, stimulating production of hydrochloric acid even without food being present in the stomach. Coffee may also trigger acid reflux because its relaxing effect relaxes muscles at its entrance allowing it to travel up through into oesophagus allowing stomach acid to rise back up through.

Happily, most issues associated with caffeine consumption are related to its consumption rather than its type. According to most studies conducted to date, moderate coffee intake – approximately three or four cups daily – can actually benefit your digestive tract and overall health.

Some individuals are predisposed to kidney stones and may be sensitive to certain foods and drinks that contain high amounts of oxalate; such as coffee and black tea. Oxalate-sensitive individuals should monitor their caffeine consumption carefully and only drink recommended quantities of brewed coffee each day.

Recent research has demonstrated that those who regularly consume one to three cups of caffeinated coffee daily are at reduced risk of acute kidney injury, particularly among those drinking two or three cups daily. Researchers hypothesized that this may be because coffee contains compounds which reduce inflammation.

Liver disease is a serious and potentially lethal condition caused by alcohol abuse or chronic viral infections like Hepatitis C. It may lead to cirrhosis – scarring of the liver that inhibits its normal functions – with early diagnosis making treatment easier to stop its progress and restore functionality. While recovery from cirrhosis may still be possible with treatment options available today, diagnosing early can make recovery even quicker and slower progression of disease progression.

Studies indicate that, if consumed moderately and without adding sugar, milk or cream, coffee can be beneficial to both liver and kidney health. It’s also essential that organic coffee beans which have been tested for mycotoxins are used, limiting exposure to harmful chemicals while optimizing its benefits for optimal performance in each cup of joe.
