COFFEE THE NEW HEALTH FOOD?

Coffee the new healthy drug

Want a drug that could lower your risk of diabetes, Parkinson’s disease, and colon cancer? That could lift your mood and treat headaches? That could lower your risk of cavities?

If it sounds too good to be true, think again. Coffee, the much criticized but undoubtedly beloved beverage, just made headlines for possibly cutting the risk of the latest disease epidemic, Type 2 diabetes. And the real news seems to be that the more you drink the better.

“Overall, the research shows that coffee is far more healthful than it is harmful,” says Tomas DePaulis, PhD, research scientist at Vanderbilt University’s Institute for Coffee Studies, which conducts its own medical research and tracks coffee studies from around the world. “For most people, very little bad comes from drinking it, but a lot of good.”

Though the scientists give the customary “more research is needed” before they recommend you do overtime at Starbuck’s to specifically prevent diabetes, their findings are very similar to those in a less-publicized Dutch study. And perhaps more importantly, it’s the latest of hundreds of studies suggesting that coffee may be something of a health food, especially in higher amounts.

Now everyone has there choice of coffee and that does not necessarily mean it’s a good choice. I won’t deny it, for a good period of time Tim Horton’s coffee was by far my favourite. Everyone has there choice on when, how many and there daily routine on drinking there coffee. But remember always in moderation. Studies show now the benefits but remember, there are always new medical researches found on pretty much everything you can think of. So you have to do your own little research.
