Your thoughts on the effects of Caffeine on the body?

I recently completed a lab, which showed that consuming a large amount of caffeine causes very rapid increases in heart rate and blood pressure. Such increases could potentially be significantly harmful to your health. What do you think of this basic fact: that Caffeine causes the heart rate and blood pressure to significantly increase? Will it change the way you choose to consume caffeine? Does this health news alarm you at all? For my lab, I used a middle age test subject, whose heart rate and blood pressure were normal before consuming caffeine, and significantly elevated after they had consumed Caffeine.\

No, it will not change the way I consume caffeine. Especially coffee. In my opinion, coffee is GOOD FOR EVERYTHING :).
It doesn't matter if your heart rate and blood pressure increase. They increase with many things, even watching TV! So why on earth would I give up my coffee.

Caffeine is good for the body in moderation. It is an antioxidant and can boost your metabolism. Just don't drink more than four regular cups of coffee a day. Too much of anything is bad.
