Kristine: EVERY THURSDAY,
WE'RE TAKING A LOOK AT HEALTH
ISSUE OR CONCERN AFFECTING
MANY BREAK.
TELLING YOU WHAT YOU NEED TO
KNOW TO KEEP YOU HEALTHY.
DR. KALANI BRADY FROM THE JOHN
A. BURNS SCHOOL OF MEDICINE
JOINS US NOW WITH THIS WEEK'S
GOOD MORNING.
WELCOME BACK INTEREST BRADY.
GOOD MORNING KRISTINE.
Kristine: A LOT OF PEOPLE
DRINK COFFEE AN A DAILY BASIS
MYSELF INCLUDED.
WHAT ARE THE STATISTICS OF
THIS?
ABOUT 90% OF THE ADULTS IN
WORLD CONSUME CAFFEINE ON A
REGULAR BASIS.
MOSTLY COFFEE OR TEA.
Kristine: SODA INCLUDED IN
THAT.
SODA IS INCLUDED IN THAT.
FAR LIGHTER DOSE OF CAFFEINE.
150 MILLION AMERICANS ADULTS
DRINK COFFEE EVERY DAY.
Kristine: IT'S SO
ACCESSIBLE NOW AT COFFEE
Kristine: IS IT SAFE TO
DRINK COFFEE THAT OFTEN?
IT GENERALLY IS SAFE.
UP TO 3 TO 4 CUPS A DAY.
SHOWS BENEFITS IN ONE STUDY.
BASICALLY, COUPLE OF CUPS A
DAY ARE GENERALLY SAFE IN ALL
SITUATIONS.
EXCEPT WITH ULCER DISEASE.
AND YOU CAN MEASURE THE AMOUNT
OF CAFFEINE IN COFFEE PRETTY
VARIABLE.
SO WE ESTIMATE 200 MILL
GAMBLES PER CUP.
BUT SOME COFFEES THAT ARE
REALLY STRONG ARE 300 MILL
GAMBLES PER CUP.
Kristine: IT IS OKAY EVERY
DAY.
WHAT ABOUT FOR WOMEN WHAT ARE
PREGNANT?
PROBABLY SHOULD REALLY
LIMIT COFFEE IF NOT
DISCONTINUE IT ALL TOGETHER.
IT IS ASSOCIATED WITH LOW BABY
WEIGHT.
EARLY LABOR.
PRETERM LABOR.
AND LOSS OF PREGNANCY.
IF YOU DON'T REALLY REALLY
NEED IT, IT'S NOT SOMETHING
YOU SHOULD HAVE WHEN YOU'RE
PREGNANT OR TRYING TO GET
PREGNANT.
Kristine: SOME PEOPLE
THINK MAYBE ORDERING DECAF
WILL HELP.
EVEN DECAF HAS SOMETIMES A
LITTLE BIT OF CAFFEINE IN IT.
RIGHT UP TO ABOUT
30-MILLIGRAMS PER CUP.
A LOT DIFFERENT THAN 2 TO
300-MILLIGRAMS PER CUP, BUT
STILL SOMETHING.
Kristine: YOU SAY CAFFEINE
IS OKAY, COUPLE OF CUPS OF
COFFEE A DAY OKAY.
CAFFEINE, DOES HAVE SOME
BENEFITS.
DEFINITELY HAS BENEFITS.
Kristine: NOT JUST MAKES
US MORE LETTER.
THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT
YOU IMPORTANT BETTER ON MENTAL
TESTS.
BASICALLY NEED LESS SLEEP.
ALTHOUGH IT SHOULD NOT BE USE
PRIMARILY AS A SLEEP
SUBSTITUTE.
BASICALLY, THERE ARE A WHOLE
BUNCH OF UP SYMPTOMS THAT YOU
GET WITH COFFEE IN MODERATE
BENEFITS.
YEP.
Kristine: NEGATIVE
BENEFITS FOR CAFFEINE.
ANXIETY, IRRITABILITY,
TREMOR OF YOUR HAND, THOSE ARE
SOME THEM SHALL AND THEN THE
SERIOUS SIDE EFFECTS CAN BE
SEIZURES, OR IRREGULARITIES OF
THE HEART.
SO THESE THINGS BASICALLY GO
WHEN YOU GET REALLY HIGH DOSES
OF CAFFEINE.
YOU KNOW THOSE POWER DRINKS
THAT HAVE CAFFEINE CONTAINING,
THAT'S UP TO 500 MILLIGRAMS
PER BOTTLE.
YOU REALLY HAVE TO WATCH HOW
MANY OF THOSE YOU HAVE AS
OPPOSED TO JUST CUPS OF
COFFEE.
Kristine: WHAT IF YOU WANT
TO STAY AWAY FROM CAFFEINE
EITHER WEAN OFF OF IT OR GET
OFF OF IT ALL TOGETHER?
WHAT DO YOU REMWHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND SIDE
TREATMENT FOR HEADACHES LIKE
TENSION AN MIGRAINE.
WITHDRAWALS FROM CAFFEINE CAN
CAUSE HEADACHES YOU UNTO TO
TESTIFY S TH HEADACHES CAN BE
REALLY SEVERE IN ADDITION TO
FEELING SOMNOLENT WITHOUT
ENERGY AND EVERYTHING.
SO TAPERING OVER THE COURSE OF
A COUPLE OF WEEKS IS PROBABLY
A WISE MOVED AND YOU ARE GOING
TO HAVE SOME SIDE EFFECTS AS
YOU TAPER.
BUT THEN YOU CAN BE CAFFEINE
FREE.
YOU'LL BE BACK NEXT WEEK
THURSDAY.
AND WE'LL TALKING ABOUT?
STATIN.
SIDE EFFECT OF THOSE
CHOLESTEROL BUSTING AGENTS
CALLED THE STATINS.
K(
THANK YOU SO MUCH, DR. WADE
YOU TOO.
