Health effects of coffee consumption

Overview

Research indicates that coffee consumption provides benefits such as increased alertness and concentration, though it can cause side effects like nervousness, heart palpitations, or stomach issues. It may also temporarily increase intraocular pressure and exacerbate acid reflux symptoms.

Studies comparing caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee show that while decaffeinated versions significantly reduce caffeine intake, they retain many beneficial properties like antioxidants and anti-inflammatory polyphenols. However, decaffeinated coffee can still cause gastric irritation or heartburn due to remaining acids. Consumers are advised to monitor caffeine levels across different styles and consider decaffeination methods to minimize potential side effects.
