BBC News | Health | Coffee beats tea on heart disease
„They said it might not necessarily be coffee drinking that led to better health, but that people who chose to drink coffee had healthier lifestyles in other respects. BBC Scotland reporter Alan Grant: "Exploding the myth that coffee is bad"However, the study did show that those who drank the most coffee were the least likely to die from heart disease while the opposite was true of tea drinking. Tea has been thought to have health improving properties because it contains antioxidants - particles that have been found to reduce the risk of cancer and prevent good cholesterol turning into bad cholesterol, which can cause heart disease. Coffee, on the other hand, has been thought to be bad for health in large amounts because it can alter heart rhythms.“

„"We are very pleased because the auction has surpassed all our expectations," said Roberto Bendana of Nicaragua's Specialty Coffee Association. "In spite of the price crisis, this success should inject some enthusiasm back into the coffee industry here." Peru, Colombia, Mexico, El Salvador and Costa Rica have applied to join the auctions, but first have to meet high production standards.

BBC News | HEALTH | Caffeine 'reduces productivity'
„Toilet visits He said: "Our clinical research found that a high caffeine intake (more than 350mg during the working day) acts as a powerful diuretic and causes people to visit the toilet more frequently, which can lead to performance-zapping dehydration. "This, coupled with the powerful stimulating effects of caffeine, increases stress and causes failures in concentration." Sarah Schenker, a dietician for the British Nutrition Foundation, said there was nothing wrong with people drinking three or four cups of coffee a day - provided that they also drank water or other decaffeinated drinks to compensate. She said: "If you only drink caffeinated drinks then you will become mildly dehydrated. It has been shown that just 2% dehydration does affect concentration, and also makes you irritable." The study found 93% of workers surveyed drank at least one caffeinated beverage a day.“
