Was your mother wrong? New studies show Coffee is good for you
Could Coffee really be good for you? Some new studies show Coffee may aid your health.
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.
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.
Some of the findings are:
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.
* Habitual coffee drinking has been associated with a lower 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.
