Anaphylaxis is a sudden, severe, potentially fatal, systemic allergic reaction involving various areas of body such as skin, respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract, and cardiovascular system. Unlike Stevens Johnson Syndrome, these symptoms occur within minutes and up to two hours after contact with allergy-causing substance, but in rare instances may occur up to four hours later.

Angioedema refers to swelling that occurs in tissue just below surface of skin. It generally results from an allergic reaction to either a food or medication. It may be a sign of an underlying condition such as leukemia or Hodgkin's disease. This is often associated with Stevens Johnson syndrome.

Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis is a life-threatening skin disorder characterized by blistering and peeling of top layer of skin. This disorder can be caused by a drug reaction to penicillin but has now been linked to Bextra.

My mother used to be one of those persons who teaches her offspring, in its early ages, that coffee is not bad. It is bad bad bad! In consequence, I managed to keep away from coffee. At least untill difficult age of 10, when, as I remember, I was permitted to join mother and neighbour-friends at coffee-tattle table.

That was moment I started to exercise my taste buds on coffee. In those days, I remember developping a partiality for coffee with milk. Or should I say milk with coffee... However, I know now that coffee I was drinking back then was indeed, not so good. Preground, over boiled, sometimes brewed over grounds from other day, could you think of worst? No wonder I wanted to hyde those hideous characteristics with tones of milk.

In meantime, I probably took a good sip of coffee on road and woke-up to a much more pleasant reality. Coffee is not bad. It is good good good. But why are there so many voices whispering that coffee and health don't go well together? Caffeine

Call it food or beverage, coffee is free of any nutritional value, and, as indecent as it may sound, we consume it exclusively for pleasure.

Yes, caffeine content in coffee is partialy responsible for that pleasure. Caffeine acts as a mild stimulent over central nervous system, that results in better memory, better judgements and ideea-associations, better moovement-coordination.

A single serve espresso contains somewhere among 80 and 120 milligrams of caffeine. A normal cup of coffee (even drip coffee) contains about 100 - 150 milligrams of caffeine. This is what commonsense calls moderate consumption at one sit. Within several hours (varying from one person to another) caffeine is eliminated from body. Refering to average coffee drinker again, s/he can have three or four sips (servings) of coffee every day aside from any health risk.
