3. COFFEE
People began to drink coffee in the 9th century in Ethiopia and then in Egypt. When
coffee first came to Europe in the seventeenth century, people had different opinions
about it. Many doctors believed coffee was a strong poison. Others thought it was a
good thing to drink coffee.
Coffee can actually act as a poison when it is given in large doses to animals. This is
sometimes done in experiments to find out what drinking a lot of coffee does to people.
Coffee can also have a poisonous effect on young children. But it is not dangerous for
adults who drink normal amounts.
Coffee has a different effect on different people. Most people are sleepless if they drink
coffee before going to bed while others have coffee at midnight and sleep like a baby.
Some people even wake up in the middle of the night, have a coffee, and go back to
sleep again.
