ETYMOLIGY Coffee is a brewed drink prepared

from roasted coffee beans, which are the seeds of "berries" from the Coffea plant. Coffee plants are cultivated in

over 70 countries, primarily in the equatorial regions of the Americas,

Southeast Asia, India and Africa. The two most commonly grown are the

highly regarded Arabica, and the less sophisticated but stronger and more

hardy Robusta. Coffee is slightly acidic and can have a stimulating effect on humans because of

its caffeine content.

HEALTH AND PHARMACOLOGY Health effects

Potential benefits Coffee is no longer thought to

be a risk factor for coronary heart disease. A 2012 meta-analysis

concluded that people who drank moderate amounts of coffee had a lower rate of heart failure, with the biggest effect found for those who drank more than four cups a

day. Moreover, in one study, habitual coffee consumption was

associated with improved vascular function.

STUDENTS’ SCIENTIFIC SYMPOSIUMUSAMV MIEADR 2015

POTENTIAL RISKS Coffee's adverse effects are more common when taken in excess, with potential health risks due mainly to its caffeine content and can therefore be avoided by drinking less coffee or using decaffeinated coffee. Oily components called diterpenes are present in unfiltered coffee and coffee brewed using metal filters, but not in coffee brewed using paper filters. Moderate amounts of coffee (50–100 mg of caffeine or 5–10 g of coffee powder a day) are well tolerated by most elderly people.

Coffee is one of the most popular drinks in the world. It can be prepared end presented in an variety of ways. Coffee represents the source of energy for many people.
