Coffee and Cortisol Levels

Episode 24: Coffee Wars: Part Two

In the second episode of this two part series, we dig into the countless health claims associated with coffee: Is coffee dehydrating? Does it cause bone loss over time? Will it really stunt your growth? Does it mess up your cortisol levels? How much is too much? So join us, two Registered Dietitians, as we answer these questions and finally get to the bottom of whether or not there are risks associated with enjoying your favorite cup of coffee.
