Yes, caffeine lowers your immune system.

Caffeine is a toxin to the body. Like most toxins you can "get away with it" in small doses usually, but nevertheless it weakens the immune system.

You only have to try a simple experiment to realize this - when you are a bit sniffly drink several strong coffees in a row. See if you sniffle and sneeze more or less.

Yes, it does. Here's how -- too much alcohol in the body...

  1. deprives your immune system of the nutrients it needs, and
  2. weakens the lymphocytes (white blood cells). Weak lymphocytes can't fight bacteria or cancer cells effectively.
