Coffee treat or trick?
The popularity of coffee is due not only to its pleasant taste and aroma but also to its physiologic and psychologic effects. These effects are caused mainly by the caffeine provided in the beverage. However, caffeine may have adverse effects as well, including stimulation of gastric acid secretion. A relationship between heavy coffee ingestion and myocardial infarction has not yet been established but it is a bothersome possibility.
