Have you cut down your coffee consumption to be healthier? Well, that cup of Joe could lengthen your life!
Generations of doctors and supposed health experts have been warning us of the evils of coffee. Coffee has been accused of slowing children’s growth, causing cancer, and other maladies.
However, several recent studies have determined that coffee is good for you. Medical authorities like JAMA, the Journal of the American Medical Association, have produced detailed studies showing coffee to be highly beneficial to your health.
Among the findings:
Multiple Sclerosis, a nerve disorder that numbers more than 300,000 people in the United States alone, can possibly be prevented by an intake of caffeine, equivalent to six to eight cups of coffee drank each day.
* Drinking coffee every day helps to lower the risk of type 2 diabetes.
* Men who drink coffee lower their risk of Gallstone disease.
* Parkinson’s Disease has a significantly lower occurrence in men who drink coffee.
* Abstinence from coffee leads to “a compression of mortality rather than an increase in lifespan.” I.e., if you don’t drink coffee you’re likely to die sooner!
Is coffee bad for your health? Drinking a lot of coffee can be bad for you, but, drinking a lot of soda or fruit juice can be bad for you too. Coffee is acidic, and drinking too much can hurt your teeth. But, it’s slightly more acidic than water, and not as acidic as fruit juice or milk. People who are pregnant, or have some specific medical problems may be advised to abstain from coffee, but for most people, a reasonable amount of approximately 300 mg, about 6 cups of coffee, is perfectly fine.
