What is added or removed from cheap coffee that it makes me pee so much?
Question by Christ is Life: What is added or removed from cheap coffee that it makes me pee so much?
I grind my own beans and use a French press, so there’s more oil and higher quality; it doesn’t make me pee more than normal. However, any time I drink the Folgers at work, one cup makes me have to go two or three times. Is it the lack of oil from it being filtered or do they add cheap fillers that have something to do with it?

Caffeine has two major effects on the human body. One, it acts as a stimulant, ramping up heart rate, dilating blood vessels, etc. Two, it acts as a diuretic, causing the kidneys to put more water into the urine than normal, filling the bladder faster. Folgers does this more so because of the amount of water in the blend. Cheaper the coffee the less oil in it to keep it from passing faster.

How much caffeinated coffee is too much to drink in a day?
Question by : How much caffeinated coffee is too much to drink in a day?
I drink anywhere from 1-3 or sometimes 4 cups of caffeinated coffee in a day is this too much? I’ve had arguments with relatives who think that this is too much coffee to drink in a day.
The people who said that this is too much coffee said how it can give you heart/blood pressure problems is this true?

Taken from a nutrition web site:
‘It is generally agreed that consuming up to 300 mg of caffeine per day is safe. That would be about the amount of caffeine you would get from three cups of coffee…’
‘…Increasing the amount of caffeine you take in over 300 mg per day may give you “caffeine jitters.” Larger amounts of caffeine may make you irritable, sleepless and may even trigger anxiety and cause diarrhea.’
Guess that pretty much sums it up. 6 cups of coffee is the maximum to have before it starts causing problems with your heart. I say the amount you have is ok.
