Arteries* - the big main pipes for blood that gets tapped leading into all your veins in all your limbs and organs
Caffeine increases heartrate similarly to exercise but unlike exercise your arteries don’t open up for caffeine. So you’re increasing flow but the pipes can’t handle it all, meaning the heart has to PUSH HARDER and eventually this will lead to severe fatigue and heart failure. If you have additional risk factors like a high cholesterol diet (lots of meat) or are overweight then the arteries themselves can also become clogged and fail.
It’s one of those things where its a very normal slow death over the course of decades, less harmful than smoking or alcohol, so it often gets brushed off as low priority. The real issue isn’t even coffee, imo, but people who take 400mg caffeine energy drinks daily or even multiple times per day.
I mean as a layman is sounds right but I know better than to trust internet strangers so I’m gonna be the jerk today and ask for some studies on that. Please.
I am the one singular internet stranger that you can trust completely. You do not require to read any AP Biology Textbook or look at any studies. Everything I’ve ever said to anybody was the 100% pure unfiltered truth, now and forever.

I find it scary that I’ve never had a doctor bring any part of this up

That’s probably because it’s massively overblown. Drinking just a few cups of coffee a day is perfectly fine. Energy drinks are the devil’s urine tho.
Well that explains the colours
Is that true though?

I believe you.

Yeah I was just explaining what the doctor would have said, since you seemed confused about “muscles or nerves”.
Much appreciated to take the time to do that. My story and your explanation can educate someone that comes across it.
Stay awesome dude.
