What Coffee Does to the Heart, Brain, & Body – Dr. Alan Mandell D.C.
Eliminate YOUR back pain in less than 30 days!
For a long time coffee was not considered a healthy drink. It has a history of being blamed for many diseases. Recent studies indicate that coffee may not be so bad after all. So which is it – good or bad for your health?
I usually drink a pot a day (12 cups) just black Folgers Columbian. Done this since I was 15. I have asthma and haven’t used an inhaler or any other steroids since I started I’m 23 now. Sometimes I’ll drink 2 pots. Btw I’m 6’1 160 lbs I don’t think it’s stunted my growth haha.
Something important to add. I went to the eye Dr about 2 years ago and he said I had more cholesterol in my eyes than he’s ever seen in someone my age. If anyone has any thoughts please share. Just wanted to add my experience with coffee.
Oh good, I was worried you where going to tell me it wasn’t good for me, it’s the about the only vice I got left lol
Lucy Markey lol, me too
I have 1/2 a cup of non gmo cold coffee with almond milk and sugar when I’m stressed or anxious, and it helps, but I do it occasionally. I don’t believe coffee is healthy, it’s bad for teeth and addictive.
After my morning coffee, I drink a couple glasses of water to rehydrate. Organic only!
Daniel Halley who cares?
Master Bait Tour so is it working coffee coffee coffee
I’ve been a coffee drinker for 50 years, and I have heard many fables which are not true. Coffee is Sin, today it’s served at my church. Lol
Daniel Halley I’m right along with you on that!
I hate to be stimulated so I drink decaffeinated coffee. Is that considered the same?
It’s what works for me because I’m more acidic and have an inflamed gut . I have less inflammation and nerve burning when I’m alkaline and the whole fat is good for your brain and blood sugar’
motivationaldoc I drink the highest rated decaffeinated. Not sure about their manufacturing process. The company is Eight o’clock coffee
Depends on the type and quantity. Also the filtration/ chemicals.
I read that Decaffeinated coffee is actually bad for you. What they use in the chemical process to rid coffee of caffeine is not healthy for the body at all. Thoughts?
Sacred Geometry I put Irish grass-fed butter coconut oil a Sprinkle of cinnamon and just a little heavy whipping cream in 8 oz of decaffeinated coffee. I don’t drink this everyday. When I intermediate fast I definitely don’t consume what I call keto coffee. I see here people keep using the term acidic. Are you too strongly promoting a more alkaline pH system? From my understanding the best way to do that is to drink magnesium infused water to create 15% based hydrogen infused water.
decaf, uses dangerous chemicals to remove the caffeine …
Given numerous health scares connected to early efforts in decaffeination (the hit list of toxic solvents includes: benzene, trichloroethylene (TCE), dichloromethane and even chloroform) the solvents of choice have become methylene chloride and ethyl acetate.
the best way, would be NOT drinking it, but too many people are hooked or could even care less of the consequences of their lifestyle…they want to enjoy and problems are for later…
it is a stimulant, an addictive drug, marketed as healthy …
does increase cortisol, norepi, makes you anxious & cause insomnia
ASK YOUR DOCTOR IF THIS … blabla… you know the drill
Hana Hana if u have liver issues better stay away from coffee, coke – seek the advice of a natural remedy expert who’d be best able to tell u what/what not to use based on your body’s condition.
J Y is that good coffee for liver pleass?
Hmm,All my family coffee lovers but deracinated.i take it light.Before I drink more than 5* a day,but because of liver cirrhosis disorganized I take once coke completely stopped.Before 6 bottles of Coke no water but now zero coke.plenty water,cup of light decaf.Thanks Dr.
gil bkk Agreed. The immediate “benefit” is outweighed by the longerlasting wear on the body.
Well, I put cinnamon and coconut in, with a bit of green stevia and I enjoy.
Research suggests older people are healthier with coffee, good for teeth.
Now I’m talking real coffee, not instant, which is another story.
bloop blooper
I drink coffee within an hour of bed sometimes but I sleep like a baby.
Your body regulates. So no problem.
BLACKCROW WALKING Me too ,I sleep fine if I drink coffee at night before bed. ..
BLACKCROW WALKING. Funny because coffee calms my nerves and gives me natural feeling energy. I also go right to sleep as coffee relaxes me. But I have non gmo coffee on occasion, like 1-2x a week. To feel the benefits of coffee, you must not be accustomed to drinking it.
My Dad, a combat veteran, now age 70, began taking a 200mg tablet of caffeine four times daily, night and day. He still does because he has PTSD. The caffeine was short acting but it did help by temporarily masking the grief he felt. His 50 year experience with caffeine shows that it can be used intelligently as medicine.

Ed Thoreum yep!
It seems there are more cons than pros. There are lots of herbs that can do the same good things that coffee does without any of the cons you mentioned.
edenrestored4all what herbs?
Shireen Ahmed 666. Is it me or the coffee?
edenrestored4all 666
Herbal Teas are your best friend.. Coffee is a backstabbing kind of friend..lol
Coffee makes anxiety worse. Enough said.
Timeless Vick yeah that happened to me a FEW TIMES. once where I had to call the ambulance to intervene because I thought I was having a “YOU KNOW WHAT” LOL ,but I wasn’t for the 4th time lol I just needed to drink a lot of water FAST and it works ACTUALLY. thanks for your interesting, Point of view man feels good to know I’m not the only one who has those horrible panic attacks
peacefulheart guys with me it is the opposite helped me cure my migran in past
And it can give you a huge headache if its too strong or if you drink too much. Personally I don’t really drink coffee, except once in a while. When I am stressed or anxious it can relax me, but I only drink half a cup with almond milk and sugar.
peacefulheart good for u..
LOVE your videos. Lovely to have such a good reference available from you. So I thank you for that. I’m just wondering, I have been told that decaf is not the way to go because of the processes they use to decaffeinate the beans? What’s your opinion about this please?
Sarah Quaid yes I was told it’s more harmful. You may as well drink really good coffee but cut down but hard if your an addict like me??
Anything that leads to addiction should not be taken into the body. They are dangerous.
Any thing can be addictive. So moderation is the key.

If u are that picky,maybe you should consider not diminishing nutrition.Do not apply heat to your food.
Maybe, but I would rather enjoy food and drinks that would nourish my body and enhance longevity. E.g. Roasted dandelion makes an excellent coffee substitute and it is also one of the best known blood purifiers without any side effects. I believe in Hippocrates who said, “Let food be your medicine and medicine your food.”
edenrestored4all so about sex
I drink coffee and I will never stop I know too many people who live a very long life and the claim the secret is Black Coffee
This man is a quack.Telling people to drink 4 cups of coffee a day is this is dangerous information and pure quackery. Coffee is toxic for the body if consumed through the mouth. Everything you are saying here was commissioned by the coffee industry. Coffee is horrible for the adrenal glands, creates cortisol which in turns creates belly fat. The only thing coffee is good for is an enema.
CT LOCKE you’re totally wrong. Many village natives all over the world enjoy their coffee everyday for many many years. My great grandparents are both 98 and 99 years old. And they are very healthy. They both have been drinking 3: cups of strong coffee a day for 90!! Years!!
Cortez Doaty I don’t make coffee, but one thing I can tell you is lots of my European friends drink about three cups a day and they are just fine.
Hayden Philbert How do you make your coffee
I use local honey in my coffee.
I have one double a week. Always with a 1/2 of a scone so the acid doesn’t get to my tummy. I have before my 2 hour intense classical ballet class. We all have vices. We are human after all. Who wants to like forever? Not me. Enjoy moments.
I CAN FORGET EVERYTHING EXCEPT COFFEE ☕ ?????????
Dm Ber ????????ME TOO ?
Doc,
Thanks… I’m a 5 day a week 1 large cup coffee drinker. I use the French press method… I switched over to green tea twice over the last 15 years.. but after developing kidney stones my doc advised me to go back to coffee because green tea, at least in my system was a contributor to the stones. Switched back to coffee and been stone free for the past 5 years (knock on wood) any thoughts?
I like coffee at night and sleep like a baby….sometimes I need a cup to go to sleep
