Breakfast at Your Desk: Yeah, Maybe Don't Drink This So-Called Aphrodisiac Coffee

Magic Power

I don't know who thought of it, but yes, someone invented a cup of Joe you drink for, um, sexy time. Weird, and sort of funny, indeed, but the FDA is also calling this product scary and dangerous ...


Steer clear of "Magic Power Coffee," says the FDA. While we're hearing a lot about the health benefits of coffee these days, this one, which goes by the slogan "the world's first passion coffee," could make you seriously ill.


Magic Power Coffee contains a chemical that may cause "dangerously low blood pressure" when it interacts with certain prescription drugs, including nitrates.

"Because this product is an instant coffee labeled as an 'all natural dietary supplement,' consumers may assume it is harmless and poses no health risk. In fact, Magic Power Coffee can cause serious harm," Deborah M. Autor, director of the FDA Center for Drug Evaluation and Research's office of compliance, said in the statement.


Would something like this ever appeal to you? Honestly, it just sounds gross to me.


P.S. This isn't the first time we've heard of Viagra-like coffee--remember this stuff?
