Effects of Coffee and Tea on Heart Disease (#)

  „Excessive coffee drinking is often thought to lead to higher blood pressure. It's been shown that drinking 4-5 cups of coffee can raise your blood pressure by 5 points, compared to having only 1 cup. This isn't a huge amount, but the consequences over the years can lead to heart attacks and strokes.“

  „A pound of tea, on average, has twice the caffeine of a pound of coffee. But a pound of tea yields about 160 cups, while a pound of coffee makes only about 40 cups. The net result is that a cup of tea contains roughly one-quarter the caffeine in a cup of coffee. Caffeine content is nearly identical in all shades of roasts of coffee.“

  „As coffee shops are growing world wide, competition is often tough, and the disposable cup is often used as an advertisement tool, as well. In order to be effective, it is important to have a high quality print, which happens to be easier done on paper. This is due to the different printing processes: on paper it is done prior to the cup forming process whereas in the case of Styrofoam and plastic cups, printing is down after the forming process.“
