Was your mother wrong? A lot of new medical reports shows Coffee may be a miracle drink.
Did your mom tell you Coffee would stunt your growth? Mine did. I’m 6′ 5″ now. Maybe I didn’t drink 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 proven 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)
* Habitual coffee drinking has been associated with a lower risk of type 2 diabetes
* The risk of Gallstone disease decreases when men drink coffee.
* Men who drink coffee have 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!
Can coffee be harmful to your health? Well, essentially coffee is, well, vegetable juice. Coffee beans are picked, roasted, and crushed. Then, hot water filters through the crushed beans to create your cup of Joe. So, coffee really is a healthy beverage, much like tomato juice. However, just like fruit juice and milk, coffee, when consumed in excess can cause some problems.
