Coffee can kill you! Experts have determined that if you can drink up to 100 cups in quick succession it could trigger a fatal heart attack or some sort of caffeine related seizure. Although this would be very difficult to achieve as the actual amount of time it would take to drink 100 cups of coffee would only be enough time for that much caffeine to keep you awake for a long time.

Coffee is good for you! Among the contents of coffee are a variety of important anti-oxidants, these are good for the body and particularly the digestive system so at around 1 or 2 cups per day it can be beneficial, it's the same as you might find in tea, beans, bananas or corn.

Coffee can be a pain killer! Studies have shown that a small influx of caffeine can stimulate the release of endorphins which can block the receptors of pain; this was shown to work in muscular pain from exercise but not in cases of inflicted pain.

There is caffeine in decaf! It's only marginal but a small amount of caffeine actually exists in decaffeinated coffee. But don't dump your evening cappuccino as you would have to consume up to 10 cups of decaf to get the amount in one cup of ordinary coffee.

You can lose weight with coffee! Despite containing stimulants and other ingredients, coffee does not actually contain any calories. This bears no relevance on what you add to coffee so don't assume you will keep your figure if you fill up on double-grande-latte-mocha-chinos.

Coffee gives you perfect skin! Because of the beneficial anti-oxidants in coffee, some experts claim it is also good for your skin. The Japanese are known to cleanse in fermented pineapple pulp mixed with coffee beans even though there is no significant evidence to prove any of this. - 24553
