Coffee is the world's beloved drink that is the most regularly consumed caffeine-containing beverage next to water and tea. It contains a multipart combination of chemicals constituents, which associated with health benefits, most consumers, begin their day with a minimum a cup of coffee after eating food, and end their workday with coffee. It is considered as a significant part of modern daily life because it has an alerting outcome on the human brain. Opposing this, various groups report experiencing uneven health risks thus hesitant to drink coffee, this suggests individual disparity to coffee intolerance. The aim of this review was to in brief summarize health benefits and risks coffee consumption. Most of the informative reports suggested that long-term consumption of coffee and decaffeinated coffee can reduce the risk of many diseases. Among these it is used to boosts our physical performance, burn fat, reduces risk of stroke, liver, prostate and colorectal cancer by 20%, risk of Parkinson's disease by 25%, lower risk of Type II diabetes, reduces risk of dementia and protects our mind, brightens our mood, helps us to fight depression and minimize risk of suicide by 50%. In addition, coffee consumers have less risk of heart disease, with strongly integrated DNA. Also reports that coffee drinking has also naturally extended sleep latency, minimizes total sleep time and its effectiveness, and worsened supposed sleep feature.However, from positive health prospect of coffee consumption, a recent study finds coffee consumption does not always provide protective benefits because overdrinking is associated with negative impact or risk on our health. Some negative impact of coffee consumption on our health; it reduces appetite levels for food, impact on pregnant women, on people with cholesterol, cause insomnia and restlessness, breast tissue cysts in women, incontinence digestive disorders, and risk of headaches. In addition, decrease fertility probability in female and male, cause allergies and miscarriage, forceful heart contractions, anxiety, depression and the need for anxiety medication, inhibits collagen production in the skin of human being, less hearing loss improvement, does not help with extended sleep deprivation interferes with ossification and could also lead to greater risk of bone fracture. Finally, the most recent studies reported that coffee consumption is beneficial for our health when it is optimum range approximately four cups on average. The supplementary research will be crucial to make clear that both the health benefits and risk of coffee consumption.

“…Coffee, chocolate, and wine were not included in the analysis, despite their high antioxidant content, because their healthiness is reportedly limited to moderate consumption only. 21 The following items were considered as main antioxidant components of a healthy diet: selenium; vitamins C, A, and E; tocopherol-b, -g, and -d; carotene-b and -a; lycopene; lutein; and all types of flavonoids. PUFAs (evaluated as linoleic acid v-6 to linolenic acid v-3 ratio) or fiber intake from the diet was expressed as g/day.…”

Key Points• Adherence to a Mediterranean diet is associated with reduced platelet and leukocyte counts.• The observed associations are partially explained by the high dietary fiber and antioxidant content of the Mediterranean diet.Platelet (PLT) and white blood cell (WBC) counts are 2 markers of inflammation and have been linked to the risk for cerebrovascular and coronary heart disease. A Mediterranean diet (MD) has been associated with reduced inflammation and mortality for major chronic diseases. We aimed at evaluating the association between the MD and both PLT and WBC counts. This cross-sectional analysis in a population-based cohort study included 14 586 healthy Italian citizens enrolled within the Moli-sani study. Adherence to MD was appraised by either the MD Score (MDS) or the Italian Mediterranean Index (IMI). PLT and WBC counts were both inversely related to MD adherence (MDS: P < .0001 and P 5 .008, respectively). As compared with those with poorer MD adherence, subjects with greater adherence had both reduced odds of being in the highest PLT-count group (MDS: odds ratio 5 0.50; 95% confidence interval, 0.31-0.80) and increased odds of being in the lowest WBC-count group (IMI: odds ratio 5 1.41; 95% confidence interval, 1.07-1.86). The association between WBC count and MDS disappeared when further adjusted for PLT count, whereas the association between PLT count and the MD was not affected by adjustment for WBCs. Food antioxidant and dietary fiber content modified the inverse association between MDS and WBC count and partially accounted for the association with PLTs.

“…The Nurses' Health Study, with follow-up of more than 12 years, demonstrated that daily intake of up to 6 cups of coffee was not associated with an increased risk of hypertension in women [13]. So far, less is known about how coffee consumption may impact upon cardiovascular risk [49]. Caffeine is the major acute BP-increasing compound found in coffee, but other compounds present in coffee may counteract these acute suppressor effects [50].…”
