    1. Drinking coffee and tea has its own advantages and disadvantages to human health, and cannot be generalized. It is generally believed that for healthy people, drinking tea or coffee in moderation is beneficial to health. However, if it is consumed in excess or without moderation, it is bound to bring harm to your health.

    For specific groups such as the elderly, pregnant women, young children, etc., it is better to drink less.

    2. Benefit - antioxidant + refreshing: tea and coffee have antioxidant effects, which can delay human aging. The tea polyphenols in tea not only have antioxidant capacity, but also have pharmacological effects such as anti-tumor, anti-radiation, anti-hyperlipidemia, prevention and treatment of atherosclerosis and anti-virus.

    The main antioxidant component in coffee is chlorogenic acid, which not only has antioxidant effects, but also has the functions of protecting the liver and gallbladder and lowering blood pressure and blood lipids.

    3. Cons - cause related physical diseases: tea contains a large amount of oxalic acid, which is easy to chemically react with the calcium excreted in the urine to form calcium oxalate, which in turn causes urinary stones. At the same time, the tea tree will be sprayed with pesticides during the growth process, and the pesticides are easy to remain on the surface of the tea leaves, and the untreated tea leaves are easy to carry residual pesticides.

    Therefore, washing tea is a necessary procedure before drinking tea, and there is also a saying in life that "do not drink the first tea". Drinking tea on an empty stomach can also cause people to feel dizzy, flustered, and in a trance.

    4. Coffee contains a diterpene compound, which increases the risk of cardiovascular disease. At the same time, acrylamide is produced during the roasting process of coffee, and large doses of acrylamide have been confirmed to be carcinogenic in animal experiments.

    Drinking some tea or freshly brewed coffee in moderation is also good for health.

    1. An article published in the October 2012 issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition said that regular tea drinking (mainly green tea) in adult women in China can reduce the risk of colorectal cancer, gastric cancer and esophageal cancer. Similarly, drinking some coffee (note that it's not bagged instant coffee, but freshly ground and brewed coffee) is also good for health.

    The annual edition of the U.S. Dietary Guidelines also states that drinking coffee appropriately every day can reduce the risk of diabetes and heart disease.

    3. At the same time, an article published in the Mayo Hospital Journal in August 2013 showed that women aged 20 to 54 who drank more than 4 cups of coffee per day (one cup is about 200 ml) had a twofold increased risk of death.

    Therefore, both tea and coffee should be paid attention to.
