Holy Cow! It looks like Coffee is good for your health.
Could Coffee really be good for you? Some new studies show Coffee may help your health.
Have you been told coffee was bad for you? You may have not drank enough!
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.
But a new series of medical findings has turned the tables on the myth of coffee being bad for our health. Distinguished health organizations like JAMA, the Journal of the American Medical Association, have shown coffee is not only innocent of causing the maladies long associated with it, but is greatly beneficial.
Among the findings:
* 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)
* A lower risk of type 2 diabetes has been associated with daily coffee drinking.
* 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.
