Abstract
Recent scientific studies have explored the multifaceted impact of coffee on human health, given its widespread consumption. Understanding both the beneficial and adverse effects of caffeine-containing beverages is crucial to mitigating potential health risks. While coffee is well known for its antioxidant properties and metabolic benefits, excessive intake has been linked to significant health complications, including cardiovascular dysfunction and sleep disturbances. Less commonly recognized are its associations with gastroesophageal reflux disease, which may exacerbate symptoms and contribute to severe gastrointestinal disorders. Additionally, habitual consumption of caffeinated products — such as coffee, chocolate, and highly concentrated tea — has been implicated in the pathogenesis of hypertension, arrhythmias, cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, liver cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma, obesity, and caffeine dependence or withdrawal syndrome. Emerging evidence suggests that chronic caffeine exposure may diminish cognitive resilience, psychological adaptability, and tolerance to sleep deprivation. Consequently, we emphasize the necessity for healthcare practitioners to assess caffeine intake in patients and to educate individuals with excessive consumption patterns about the potential for physiological dependence and exacerbation of preexisting conditions.
