Myths about the most popular coffee. (Freepic)

YOGYAKARTA - In addition to being the most consumed drink in various countries, coffee is also followed by many myths. However, is the myth valid and trustworthy? Like other foods, coffee also brings many myths that have been circulating since time immemorial. This article will discuss several myths about the most popular coffee that are widely discussed.

All these myths are not completely wrong, but there are several explanations about this myth that can be learned.

Reporting from Antara, below are six coffee myths that are popular among coffee fans:

In several studies on coffee, it was revealed the fact that consuming three cups of coffee every day is equivalent to 300 milligrams of caffeine. However, it should be noted that this will not interfere with a person's health at all.

However, if that person has a history of hypertension or high blood pressure, it could increase the transient heartbeat. However, this has absolutely nothing to do with the caffeine in it.

In coffee there is caffeine content, which is the most consumed psychoactive substance in the world. Caffeine also has a function as a stimulant, but if consumed after lunch, it will be processed through the liver very quickly.

But within four hours, as much as 75 percent of caffeine will be removed from the body. So, if you drink coffee during the day, it shouldn't have any effect on your sleep at night.

Not to forget there is a myth that coffee provides benefits for losing weight. Although there is actually not enough evidence to show this.

The stimulant effect of caffeine can indeed increase metabolism but the amount is very small. So this is not enough to help a person lose weight permanently. This caffeine substance can also reduce appetite even for a while and a short time.

Coffee also causes dehydration because coffee is diuretic or excessive urination. However, this was denied by nutritionists.

"It is true that coffee causes diuretics, but because it is liquid. The effect of diuretics is balanced with the amount of water in the womb. It does not mean that it is becoming dehydrated," explained nutritionist Amy Shapiro.

Various studies have concluded the influence of caffeinated drinks on the reproductive organs of women. Researchers recommend continuing to consume safe levels of caffeinated drinks for pregnant women and those who are about to give birth.

To date, with various studies conducted, experts have not come to a conclusion about the significant relationship between pregnant women and caffeine consumption. Even in large studies, there has not been a connection between caffeine consumption and infant defects at birth.

Many people think that once consuming caffeinated drinks such as coffee can cause addiction. This addictive effect is also still widely believed by most people.

According to experts, caffeine does not directly make a person addicted to coffee. However, caffeine consumption can cause very uncomfortable symptoms if a coffee ' addict' stops drinking coffee suddenly.

Symptoms of coffee consumption can cause disturbances in the form of headaches, tremors and other disorders. In general, these symptoms will only last for one day and can be overcome by gradually reducing the intensity of drinking coffee.
