Holy Cow! It looks like Coffee is good for your health.
Was your mother wrong? A lot of new medical studies shows Coffee may be a healthy beverage.
Have you been told coffee was bad for you? You may have not drank enough!
For decades our doctors and mothers have been telling us to cut back on the coffee. It’s been blamed for everything from stunted growth to breast cancer.
But a plethora of new medical studies have proven the critics to be wrong. According to studies from prestigious medical journals like the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), Coffee is not to blame for stunted growth, cancer, or any other significant medical issue, and has, in fact, been shown to help prevent many medical problems.
Some of the findings are:
* Caffeine, equivalent to six to eight cups of coffee consumed by a human in a day, could possibly help protect people against multiple sclerosis (MS)
* Drinking coffee every day helps to lower the risk of type 2 diabetes.
* Coffee is associated with a decreased risk of Gallstone disease in men.
* Drinking more coffee has been associated with a significantly lower incidence of Parkinson’s Disease
* 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!
But can coffee be bad for you? Coffee like juice or soda, can be bad for you if you drink it in great excess. And like peanuts, some people can’t tolerate it. But for most healthy people coffee is a health beverage. People forget that coffee is, essentially, a vegetable juice. Coffee beans grown in rich soil are roasted and crushed, after which hot water filters through them to create your cup of Joe. Coffee just tastes a lot better than tomato juice.
