Question

Is coffee bad for the kidneys?

Answer 1

Too much coffee can sometimes harm peoples kidneys however I really wouldn't worry about it.

My Grandma lived to be 110 years old and she drank 2 full pots of coffee everyday and lived a very long healthy and happy life for those 110 years.

If you already have kidney problems then the coffee could aggravate the kidneys problems and may cause them to not work as good but you'd have to drink more than 4 cups of coffee per day according to research.

Answer 2

Drinking more than 4 cups of coffee has been shown by research that it can reduce kidney function however I would take that even with a grain of salt because sometimes research can be wrong and many people have lived long lives without kidney problems while drinking 4 cups of coffee or more per day.

Coffee is certainly better than soda for your kidneys though.

I drink 5 cups of coffee daily and I still have healthy kidneys so I wouldn't worry about it myself.
