| Re: Caffine?
I read a recent study that did indeed show that caffeine raises the metabolism, but this didn't result in a significant amout of burned calories (and this study had subjects drinking SIX cups of strong coffee per day... and too much caffeine is lethal).
Since caffeine can be a hunger-suppressing drug, one might take in fewer calories. But this is a short-term effect, as is caffeine being a diuretic (which is only weight loss from body water, not body fat). Both of these can help lose weight, but it's not an effective long-term method.
For coffee, I can only think of it being "bad" for those trying to lose weight is that if they dress it up with calories, like sugar and cream. However, it can also be hazardous to those who have pre-existing health conditions, like having high blood pressure, heart disease, or kidney stones.
