Excessive consumption of coffee is known to be harmful to one’s health. While tea appears to have more beneficial effects on the body, it cannot offer the stimulus that a cup of coffee does. What is my personal choice? Diluted coffee. Plenty of it. I drink about 8 cups a day without going beyond the recommended limits. It is a good source of carbohydrates, making it an appetite suppressor and it also increases the intake of water, which helps in discarding toxins.
