CoffeeHealthEffects.com is a website for the coffee drinkers who care about their health and have a keen interest in the effects of this or that product on the human body, intellectual and physical activity.
It's not even about how many coffees you have a day or what brewing method appeals to you, but rather how you can control the effects of coffee on your body and benefit from them, so that you can savour the drink.
First and foremost, CHE explores various aspects of the effects of coffee and caffeinated products on a person's health, touching upon both positive and negative ones. Each section of the website is a selection of interesting facts borne out by reliable sources.
Objective of the CoffeeHealthEffects
Nowadays one can find loads of information on advantages and disadvantages of coffee for the human body. From the very beginning we've tried hard not to dissolve in the ocean of scientific researches, blog posts and news which keep informing us about new properties of caffeine. However, when information abounds, we also have to deal with repeated facts which advocate either for or against coffee, while very often those facts are intended to promote a particular product on the market.
Our primary goal is to collect the most important and up-to-date information about coffee and present it in a structured intelligible way, so to say to separate the wheat from the chaff. We aim to make our publications interesting to read as well as enjoyable and rich as a morning coffee. On top of that, we are going to make the format most readable, so that you won't experience any "negative effects".
