Can someone die from drinking too much coffee (not all at once but over a life-time?)?
Question:
Answers:
Technically yes - the effects that coffee can have on one's body over the long run, can be detrimental to one's health. Coffee can have many negative side effects (it tightens all of the body's blood vessels), it can lead to high blood pressure etc. In the long run, the side effects can kill you. It can also cause you to become dehydrated, which puts a strain on your kidneys. A point to remember is, it is not simply coffee, it is ALL beverages/food containing caffeine.
Other Answers:
BS- no scientific proof.
no, you cant die from too much coffee over a lifetime. Nah..my late grandma drank until she was 83. She was a heavy coffee drinker and she died due to old age, nothing to do with coffee. Too much could deteriorate your health lifestyle in some other ways. Key word is balance to everything.
Technically, yes, it is possible to die from a caffiene overdose, but it would take ALOT of it, I mean A HUGE amount of it to really happen.
The human body can only handle so much caffiene.
