Others experience:
- Heartburn
- Acid reflux
- Stomach discomfort
- Urgency to use the bathroom
- Loose stools
Decaffeinated coffee can still cause digestive symptoms because caffeine is not the only compound involved.
17. Coffee Can Become Habit-Forming
Regular caffeine use can lead to physical dependence.
If someone who consumes caffeine every day suddenly stops, withdrawal symptoms may include:
- Headache
- Fatigue
- Difficulty concentrating
- Irritability
- Low mood
These symptoms usually improve with time.
If you want to reduce caffeine, gradually decreasing your intake may be more comfortable than stopping abruptly.
18. What You Add to Coffee Matters
Black coffee contains very few calories.
The nutritional picture changes dramatically when a daily drink includes several tablespoons of sugar, flavored syrup, sweetened creamers, whipped cream, or other high-calorie
additions.
