Coffee not only fights off tiredness, but can also improve athletic and mental performance. It is not without reason that athletes often turn to coffee. It is proven that coffee improves concentration, attention and even mood. So the coffee myth is true.

We would love to tell you otherwise, but this coffee myth is unfortunately true. The tannins contained in coffee can settle on tooth enamel and discolor it if consumed regularly.

However, there is good news: if you drink your coffee with milk, the tannins are bound to the milk and the effect is less pronounced.

Although caffeine in other beverages causes an increase in blood pressure, studies have shown that this is not the case with coffee. This is because other substances in coffee, such as chlorogenic acid, counteract the effect.
Regular coffee consumption does not harm your heart either: a study with heart patients has shown that even 6 cups a day have no negative effects.

On the contrary: moderate consumption of 3-5 cups per day even has a positive effect on cardiovascular risk.

If we are particularly tired and want to get fit quickly, we like to reach for an espresso. After all, it has a lot more caffeine than coffee, right?

That's not entirely true: for the same amount, espresso actually has a little more caffeine, but considering that an espresso cup is much smaller, it actually contains less caffeine in the end.

Coffee is said to boost the metabolism and thus accelerate fat burning. The reason for this is the chlorogenic acid it contains, which inhibits the absorption of fats and sugar.

Unfortunately, the concentrations are so low that no effect can be confirmed.
The coffee myth is unfortunately false.
