TikTok Coffee Enemas; Are They Good For You?

Let's start this off by saying that majority of the trends on TikTok are probably not safe or good for you. But there are some that are and are even endorsed by proper authorities. But there's a new TikTok trend out there that's gaining popularity, coffee enemas.

Coffee enemas or coffee colonics are trending on TikTok. It's exactly what it sounds like. ABC13 in Houston talked with Dr. Muhammad Nathani, a gastroenterologist. He said, "The way the enema is done, it's generally, you actually brew the coffee and let it cool down and then put it in the rectum." Why are people doing this? He's been asked by many patients and people about it. Patients see the trend online and believe that it helps to clear them out and detox them, eventually leading to weightloss.

People believe that it will help their health, boost their metabolism and help relieve them of constipation. Now if you're a regular coffee drinker, you already know that it has that effect on you. You don't need to shoot it up your rectum for it to work. Dr. Nathani says there's no real evidence that it works. But what are the side effects or possible dangers of doing a coffee enema?

If you ask most medical experts, they will say that it could have major side effects and possibly cause death. Dr. Nathani told ABC13 that studies have shown that at least 3 deaths have occurred because of it. But how? They say it's mainly the coffee causing irritation. People are also not allowing the coffee to cool enough or they want it warm, so it causes burns. Medical experts don't recommend doing this at all. If you truly need a cleanse, there are other options that are proven and safe for you to use that will give you the same effect.

Just because it's on TikTok, doesn't necessarily mean you should do it or follow it. Especially with this trend.

We have more on this wild and crazy story in today's Other News!

I think it's safe to say that coffee is often a saving grace. And Las Vegas coffee shops have definitely helped us recover after a night out.

It's truly the perfect beverage that's available in multiple mediums. Hot, iced, sweet, bitter, frothy or blended; coffee can quench any type of caffeine craving.

Coffee is also a ritual for many of us, often signifying as the gong that starts our day. When we smell the brewing beans and hear the bubbling noise of the carburetor, memories are often pulled from the back of our minds about cornerstone moments in our lives.

Along with the memories and conversations that are associated with the amazing beverage, coffee is also a symbol in many cultures. Whether it's the brewing method or the type of beans being used, coffee -- like most things -- vary across the world.

There are four types of coffee beans: Arabica, Robusta, Liberica, and Excelsa. And according to CoffeeAffection.com, Arabica and Robusta are the most common and popular type of beans.

Arabica is known for having a smooth and complex flavor with a distinct lack of bitterness. Robusta, often associated with Vietnamese coffee, has a stronger and bolder flavor with a higher hint of bitterness laced within the coffee's profile.

The other and less common coffee beans, Liberica and Excelsa, have different flavor notes and are grown in Africa and Asia.

According to CoffeeAffection, Liberica beans "has a controversial and polarizing reputation for wild inconsistency. Those who’ve tried this rare variety either love it or hate it."

Some have described the flavor as nutty, woody and "burnt," with a backbite.

Excelsa beans have qualities that are a mixture of light and dark roast traits. These beans have tart and fruity flavors with a lighter aroma. Yet, these beans still have a depth of flavor.

There's also a science to the coffee brewing process that emphasizes and brings out certain flavors of the beans, which you can read more about here.
