It has long been disputed what the health effects are of coffee. In a recent study researchers found that filtered coffee consumed in moderate amounts will cause increased attention, increased memory performance, decreased risk of heart disease, increased physical performance, faster muscle recovery, and decreased risk of liver disease. In elderly people coffee can cause heart burn. Coffee has been shown to help with withdrawal symptoms and headaches.
