Other than some of what was pointed out already? Diuretics have a lot of uses.

In medicine, diuretics are used to treat heart failure, liver cirrhosis, hypertension and certain kidney diseases. Some diuretics, such as acetazolamide, help to make the urine more alkaline and are helpful in increasing excretion of substances such as aspirin in cases of overdose or poisoning. Diuretics are often abused by sufferers of eating disorders, especially bulimics, in attempts at weight loss.

That's why most OTC weight loss drugs have Caffeine in them too. It also boost your mood and, the obvious of helping you stay awake....

Caffeine and other methylxanthine derivatives are also used on newborns to treat apnea and correct irregular heartbeats. Caffeine stimulates the central nervous system first at the higher levels, resulting in increased alertness and wakefulness, faster and clearer flow of thought, increased focus, and better general body coordination, and later at the spinal cord level at higher doses.

Caffeine citrate has proven to be of short- and long-term benefit in treating the breathing disorders of apnea of prematurity and bronchopulmonary dysplasia in premature infants.

The only short-term risk associated with caffeine citrate treatment is a temporary reduction in weight gain during the therapy, and longer term studies (18 to 21 months) have shown lasting benefits of treatment of premature infants with caffeine.

Another study showed that human subjects — after receiving 100 milligrams of caffeine — had increased activity in brain regions located in the frontal lobe, where a part of the working memory network is located, and the anterior cingulate cortex, a part of the brain that controls attention. The caffeinated subjects also performed better on the memory tasks.

Most of that is copy and paste but it's good info.

Also remember that to OD on Caffeine, you need almost 200 MGs per Kilogram of your weight... In most people, that equals out to about 80 cups of Coffee, which, would be almost impossible to do because you have to DRINK the Coffee, and by the time you slammed down the first 15 cups you'd be pissing so much it would start giving time for the shit to half life and save your life anyway.

Overdose yet, but you don't have to overdose on something for it to kill you or cause serious health effects. It can happen over time. Alot of people DON'T overdose on alcohol, but over time it damages their liver and whatnot.


So just because it takes such a large amount to OD, doesn't make it anymore safe to drink 5 cups of coffee a day.
