Coffee consumptioncan lead to halllucintions. It soundsd strange but a new study has found that drinking three cups of the hot drink a day can triple the risk of suffering from hallucinations.
Studies have already documented that too much caffeine can lead to heart palpitations, insomnia and even affect a woman’s chances of becoming pregnant.
Now, a team at Durham University has found a link between coffee and hallucinations.
Caffeine boosts levels of a stress hormone which is known as cortisol.
And, those who have three cups of brewed coffee a day could be at the same risk, the researchers have warned due to the drink’s higher caffeine content.
The study has shown a clear link between hallucinations and a high caffeine intake.
The researchers have based their findings on an analysis of the caffeine intake of 200 students some of whom had experienced seeing things that were not there, hearing voices or sensing the presence of the dead.
