[Watch (HLS stream): Is Too Much Coffee Unhealthy?](https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/9wKhafLS.m3u8) (2:10)  _Published 2015-06-01. Is Too Much Coffee Unhealthy?_ by [Melissa Locker](https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/) ## Melissa Locker Sep 4, 2015 3:45 PM UTC by [Melissa Locker](https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/) ## Melissa Locker Sep 4, 2015 3:45 PM UTC A long time ago, in a city far, far away, Andrew Garfield may have made your double tall skinny half-caf latte. The _99 Homes_ star stopped by _Jimmy Kimmel Live!_ on Thursday to talk about his new thriller, debut a new long hairdo and, because this is Hollywood, swap a few grooming tips (conditioner is a must, apparently) before Kimmel asked him about being a struggling young actor. That’s when Garfield admitted that like many other actors, he moonlighted at Starbucks to pay the bills. At first he was pretty excited about the job. “I thought that’s the John Hughes movie I’ve been waiting to live within,” said the actor, envisioning spending his days caffeinating the “girls reading literature with black rimmed glasses” who loitered around the Golders Green outpost. “I’m going to be the barista that woos them all and wins them all,” he recounted to Kimmel. “Or they realize after a period of months that in fact, the skinny guy is the guy to go with.” Strangely it did not work out exactly like that for him. ## Transcript [ MUSIC ] You're watching Everwell. Know more. Live better. [ MUSIC ] Yeah, I really enjoy Coffee and it's kind of, I kind of crave it every day. But I'm just a little bit concerned about those health risks that come along with it. Well I heard on the news that too much coffee is unhealthy. But then another news report said that it might actually have health benefits so I don't really know what to think. There's certainly lots of confusion over coffee. For years there have been warnings that it may lead to a host of health problems ranging from dehydration to cancer. But it turns out those fears, by and large, are groundless. It's true that caffeine in coffee can raise your heart rate and increase blood pressure temporarily. But studies show coffee doesn not increase the risk of heart attack or stroke. In fact, it's been associated with a slightly lower risk. Ditto for type two diabetes and Parkinson's disease. According to studies, coffee drinkers are less likely to develop both compared to non drinkers. The research on cancer is reassuring as well. Coffee does not increase the risk. And is actually linked to lower odds of liver cancer. Overall, research shows java drinkers live just as long as those who have abstained and maybe even longer. One possible reason for coffees apparent benefit, is that it's rich in anti oxidizes. But that does not make it a health drink. Higher amounts of coffee can cause jitters and stomach upset. And more than a cup or two a day has been linked to miscarriages in some research. Bottom line, coffee in moderation, up to a few cups a day, is likely fine for most people. But be careful about those fancy coffees with all the extra ingredients, which can add lots of extra calories. After all, you want that cup of Joe to perk you up. And I weigh you down. Helping you be a healthy skeptic, I'm Robert Davis. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4022933/andrew-garfield-starbucks-99-homes/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4022933/andrew-garfield-starbucks-99-homes/"},"headline":"Andrew Garfield Might Have Once Served You a Latte at Starbucks","datePublished":"2015-09-04T15:45:27.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T07:48:10.164Z","description":"He probably got your name right","url":"https://time.com/4022933/andrew-garfield-starbucks-99-homes/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Television","Starbucks","Jimmy Kimmel","Andrew Garfield","jimmy kimmel live"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4022933/andrew-garfield-starbucks-99-homes/","name":"Andrew Garfield Might Have Once Served You a Latte at Starbucks"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Is Too Much Coffee Unhealthy?","description":"Is Too Much Coffee Unhealthy?","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/9wKhafLS/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2015-06-01T16:14:59.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/9wKhafLS.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4022933/andrew-garfield-starbucks-99-homes/","duration":"PT2M10S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4022933/andrew-garfield-starbucks-99-homes/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
