10. AMP
(Adenosine Monophosphate)
• AMP is a substance essential to
energy production in the body
• A cup of coffee or hot chocolate
cause 12-fold increase in the
absorption rate of AMP.
11. The breakdown products of
caffeine…
• Interfere with an enzyme which
converts adenosine monophosphate,
resulting in reduced energy.
12. That means that if you consume a big cup of
coffee with 200 mg of caffeine in it at 3:00
PM, by 9:00 PM about 100 mg of that
caffeine is still in your system.
The half-life of caffeine
is about 6 hours.
13. Methylxanthines
• Caffeine
• Theobromine
• Theophyllin
has an ability to alter the protoplasm of
cells and even attach or concentrate in cells
for unknown period of time, possibly for the
lifetime of the person….and cause injury to
the body.

Increases Risk of:
– Cancer
– Gout
– Worsening
Diabetes
– Miscarriages
– Low birth weight
in babies
– Nervous Fatigue
– Heart palpitations
– Heart disease

23. Caffeine is not removed completely using any of
these methods, but under federal regulations in the
United States, caffeine levels must not be above 2.5
percent of the product in order for a product to be
labeled "decaffeinated."

24. There are at least 100 harmful
chemical components in coffee
• Acetaldehyde
• Acetic acid
• Ammonia
• Carbon disulfide
• Catechol
• Ethanol
• Methanol
• Naphthalene
• Phenol
• Hydrogen
• Sulfide
25. Caffeine Free?
• Coffee oils; Caffeols are irritating to the
stomach and to the remainder of the
digestive tracts, stimulating more acid
production.
• Studies on young rats showed that giving
caffeine-free coffee significantly retard
their rate of growth.
26. Coffee and Bladder Cancer
• Women who drink only one cup of coffee per
day have almost three times greater risk of
getting bladder cancer than abstainers!
• The association of coffee with bladder cancer in
women was no different whether decaffeinated,
non-decaffeinated, regular or instant coffee had
been drunk, or whether the coffee was brewed
strong or weak.

28. • All member of this food group (caffeine drinks)
cause problems for hypoglycemics and diabetics
- “Diabetes & The Hypoglycemic Syndrome” by A. Thrash M.D.& C.
Thrash M.D.-
• Two cups of coffee significantly raises blood
sugar, thus leading to high incidence of
functional hypoglycemia in coffee drinkers.
- Lancet 1;627-529 3/11/67
• Caffeine can be considered a risk factor in the
production of Diabetes.
- JAMA231;965, 1975
• Caffeine makes diabetes much worse in mouse
experiments
- Medical World New 33, 2/19/65 –
29. Caffeine has been found to be harmful to
diabetics and to potential diabetics.
Higher blood sugar levels have been recorded
in diabetics at 30 ,69, 90 minutes following
test meals when coffee was added.
Caffeine and Diabetes
Individuals with and without coronary disease
have been tested after drinking coffee.
It was found that both groups had 4 to 5 times
more free fatty acids in their
blood after drinking black coffee.

What’s wrong with residue in
the stomach?
62. Persons have been given
routine breakfasts consisting
of cereal and cream, bread,
cooked fruit and an egg.
These stomachs were X-rayed
and found to be emptied, usually
in less than 4 ½ hours
Of These Ye May Freely Eat, p85
63. Few days later, these persons were given the same
type of breakfast. In addition;
Given ice cream 2 hours
after breakfast
Given peanut butter
sandwich 2 hours after
breakfast
Given a piece of
pumpkin pie and a glass
of milk 2 hours after
breakfast
Residue in stomach

64. The chemicals produced during partial
digestion are toxic
• Aldehydes.
• Alcohol.
• Amines.
• Esters.
65. Even a little peanut nibbling!!
Delays digestion to
the extent that
eleven hours after
breakfast, there is
still a large amount
of residue left in the
stomach.
67. Breakfast Skippers

• Less efficient
• Nervous tremors
