Coca Cola, Pepsi, coffee, tea, prescription drugs with caffeine cause heart disease, high blood pressure, headaches, ulcers, cancer risk, smoking addiction, anxiety and insomnia. adverse reaction to drug medicine and risk of sudden death is increased.

Caffeine is the most overlooked cause of medical problems today. It's a bonanza for the pharmaceutical companies, causing a perceived need for medicine these conditions:  

·        Headaches, including migraines.

·        Initial nerve stimulation, leading to depression later.

·        Creates a need for tranquilizer-type of drugs

·        Inability to sleep with a need for sleeping pills which are also often addictive

·        A false feeling of energy and a rise in blood sugar without having eaten food to support the feeling

·        A rise in heart rate and, therefore, blood pressure

·        A rise in triglycerides (blood fat levels)

·        Lowers the threshhold for ventricular fibrillation, the arrhythmia that is fatal if not corrected in minutes. (Caffeine is not allowed in coronary care units)

·        Causes fibrocystic breast disease (which is a risk for breast cancer)

·        Turns on stomach acid—creating gastritis, ulcers, hiatal hernia symptoms and the need for antacids, Pepcid, Xantac, Prilosec, Nexium.

·        Osteoporosis is more common.

·        Birth defects (hare lip, cleft palate) are an increased risk from chromosome damage.

·        Stimulates cyclic AMP to produce cell growth and cysts in the breast, causing fibrocystic breast disease which is a risk factor for cancer.

·        “A strong association between coffee consumption and cancer of the pancreas was evident” in the lead article of the New England Journal of Medicine, 3-81.   It’s also a risk for bladder cancer in women drinking more than two cups/day.

·        Medical economics is indebted to deceitful beverages for a major source of their revenue.

Things that are good (like exercise, water and sunlight) have many benefits to the body. Things that are bad (drugs and caffeine is #1) have  many bad effects. Do you want to play Russian Roulette and pull the trigger every day? Quit drugs!

If you caffeine, you will probably get a headache for a few days as a withdrawal from this addiction. Do NOT use Anacin or Exedrin or other caffeinated drugs. Maybe quit on Friday morning and you will be over most of it by Monday or Tuesday!

Summary: Natural remedies are useless if we are killing ourselves with alcohol, tobacco, caffeine. A program to break addictions is explained. Caffeine (as in coffee, tea, coke or Pepsi) is the most overlooked  health hazard worldwide. It affects the entire system:
Nerves: headaches, including migraine, insomnia, tremor, anxiety, irritability, hyperventilation syndrome, panic attacks, hyperactivity.
Heart: Increased heart rate, blood pressure, irregularity, arrhythmia.
Body chemistry: elevated blood sugar and triglycerides,
Hyperacidity: gastritis, peptic ulcer and symptoms of hiatal hernia.
Tumors: fibrocystic disease of the breast which has 4 times the risk of breast cancer. Cancer of the pancreas and bladder.

To avoid depression from nicotine or alcohol, caffeine is used as a stimulant. The famous Russian scientist, Pavlov, called coffee "bad habit glue," because people have so many bad habits they would not be able to get up and go to work without coffee. Caffeine is also an addictive drug - people who drink three or more cups a day have a withdrawal headache if they miss it.

Coffee favors alcohol consumption. Rats with a choice of water or alcohol, preferred alcohol when coffee and spices were added to their diet. The stimulation of caffeine produces an alarm reaction in the body with stress, premature aging and degenerative changes. People do not realize how many medical conditions are caused by caffeine.

    Bad Effects

•  Nerves: Caffeine opens the door to abuse of other drugs. Wakefulness and insomnia are common and cause a need for sleeping pills. Tremor, anxiety and irritability are frequent and create a need for tranquilizers. Most MD's don't know what causes headaches, but people who take Anacin, Excedrin or prescription analgesics [often containing caffeine] will never get away from their need of drugs, because the caffeine-withdrawal headache is relieved taking more caffeine. [This is like a smoker trying to quit and getting relief of withdrawal symptoms by having a cigarette.] Caffeine is also associated with panic attacks, hyperventilation syndrome, and attention deficit syndrome or hyperactivity in children, but in the young other factors may be more significant. 
•  Heart:  Increased heart rate and blood pressure, premature ventricular contractions [PVC's causing palpitation and possible arrhythmia. It lowers the threshold for ventricular fibrillation [fatal in 5 minutes]. These are reasons why coffee is rarely served in coronary care units.
• Body chemistry: Caffeine elevates blood sugar, free fatty acids, triglycerides, and makes some responses over-reactive.
• Hyperacidity: Caffeine is a potent stimulator of acid, causing gastritis and peptic ulcer. It weakens the tone of the lower esophageal sphincter, allowing acid reflux and symptoms of hiatal hernia. Without caffeine, antacid, Pepcid, Tagamet, Xantac-type businesses would go broke.
• Tumors: Caffeine is a methyl xanthine that increases cell growth in susceptible women to cause fibrocystic disease of the breast, resulting in 90% of the operations on the breast [biopsy to rule out malignancy]. Two-thirds of women with fibrocystic disease may have complete regression of cystic lumps within two months of stopping coffee, tea, colas and chocolate. Women with fibrocystic disease have 4 times the normal risk of breast cancer and have 3 times as much cyclic AMP as found in normal breasts. Malignant breasts had 5 times as much cyclic AMP. Journal of American Medical Assoc, March 23, 1979
• Cancer of the Pancreas: In 369 cases “A strong association between coffee consumption and pancreatic cancer was evident in both sexes.” New England Journal Med, March 12,1981
