More than 1.3 billion people start their day with a cup of coffee first thing in the morning. But a long time ago, people did not know much about coffee and thought that coffee was as hallucinogenic as narcotics, so it was banned. There was a time when drinking coffee in public was punishable by death...

Let's take a look at what outrageous and serious things happen in the spread of coffee!

1. Initially, coffee was chewable. The preferred way to drink coffee may be to sip, but coffee is not always a liquid drink. Many historians assert that the earliest African tribes to consume coffee ground berries together, added some animal fat, and made caffeinated foods into edible small energy balls.

2. In the 9th-10th century AD, people used coffee fruit to boil juice "bunchum", which had the effect of treating headaches. However, drinking too much will make people unable to sleep, trance, so coffee at that time only as a drug treatment, will not let everyone drink a lot of time.

3.1450 A few years later, people in Arabia discovered that roasting the core part of coffee berries longer and cooking it with the pulp had an unexpected refreshing effect, and named it Gahwa. Gahwa can also be in a trance when drunk too much, so many believers in Arabi, who cannot drink alcohol, drink Gahwa as alcohol, so that they can temporarily pass the dry addiction that paralyzes the nerves of alcohol.

4. When coffee was first widely introduced into Europe, many Christians were reluctant to drink coffee because they believed the dark elixir was a Muslim drink. Coffee did not gain widespread attention in Europe until Pope Clement VIII declared it a Christian drink in 1600.

5. By the 17th century in the Ottoman Empire, coffee was believed to have hallucinogenic effects. So the monarch of this period considered it an anesthetic, so he forbade its use in public. Violators will be sentenced to death...

6. In 17th century Europe, spoons, cups and plates were rare items. It wasn't until Zheng He went to the West and poured Chinese porcelain into Europe that people began to imitate Chinese teapots and cups to make elegant and coffee sets. But because drinking coffee directly from a cup was too hot for the mouth, the aristocrats of the time would drink coffee in a cup and plate to maintain elegance.

7.17 Twenty-first century women believed coffee would turn their men into "useless corpses." In 1674, a Women Against Coffee petition proposed banning coffee from anyone under 60, claiming that the drink was turning English men into "useless corpses."

8. It was not until the 18th century that governments tried to ban coffee. Coffee has been banned for many reasons, one of which is that it is hallucinogenic, causing people to be very excited and to act aggressively. Sweden banned not only coffee but also the sale and use of coffee accessories (i.e. cups and saucers) in 1746.

9. King Gustav III of Sweden studied the health effects of coffee in the mid-18th century. The experiment was carried out on identical twins sentenced to death by order of the king. On condition that one twin drink only coffee and the other tea for the rest of their lives, their sentences are reduced to life imprisonment. Two doctors were ordered to examine him and report the results directly to the King. However, these doctors died mysteriously, most likely from natural causes. The king left without finishing his studies.

10. Coffee has been banned for some time, but it still doesn't stop people from "obsessing" about it. In Britain, instant coffee was introduced in 1771 (unlike powdered instant coffee invented in Japan, which was concentrated into blocks and melted with hot water to obtain a cup of coffee).

11. It was another 139 years before the first instant coffee was mass-produced and patented in the United States in 1910, bringing the practice to China. From 1917 to 1937, Shanghai cafes flourished. In addition to selling coffee, they also sold concentrated coffee sugar, coffee cream, coffee juice, coffee slurry, etc., which could be blended according to personal taste when eating.

12. Brazil, the largest producer of coffee beans, was unable to afford to send competitors to the 1932 Los Angeles Olympics. So they fill the boat with coffee and sell it on the go. In the end, these coffee beans sent Brazilian athletes to the Olympic Games...

13. In the United States, cider or beer is the preferred breakfast drink, followed by coffee, which is popular, including among children. Later, more and more research on coffee, but also more and more in-depth, found that coffee, tea, cola caffeine will affect children's growth and psychological mood, until about 2010, there is a recommended amount of caffeine intake for children, also do not advocate children under the age of 12 to drink coffee.

Anything in excess can be harmful, and coffee doesn't matter. According to a video from AsapSCIENCE, a person weighing about 150 pounds would need 70 cups of coffee to kill them. In response, many netizens who watched the video said: Who died after drinking 70 cups of coffee?

15. The idea that bulletproof coffee can help you lose weight has not been proven. The Bulletproof Coffee Diet was the brainchild of Dave Asprey. This coffee diet is based on Xizang yak butter tea.

Bulletproof coffee made with brewed low-mold coffee beans, one to two tablespoons of medium-chain triglyceride oil and two tablespoons of salt-free butter has about 450 calories per cup. Asprey believes coffee can help people stay full longer and think more clearly. His claims are not supported by any research.
