coffee
Although there is no evidence that coffee brings on heart attacks, it is well-known that drinking too much coffee or other caffeine-containing beverages makes the heart beat faster and drives up the blood pressure. Not so well known is that fact that, depending on the dosage, caffeine may have exactly opposite effects on the heart and blood vessels.

Although new caffeine extraction methods seem to preserve the flavor of a good cup of coffee, decaffeinated coffee is not necessarily the answer for java junkies. Decaf retains enough caffeine to affect sensitive individuals. It also contains other substances naturally found in the coffee beans that can have irritating effects on the body. For example, decaffeinated coffee can be just as rough on the stomach as regular coffee.
