Coffee consumption reduces risk of death from inflammatory
disease - recent research.
What are inflammatory diseases?
Inflammatory diseases include Alzheimer's Disease, Ageing, Heart Disease, Cancer,
Arthritis and virtually all other chronic health conditions.

Antioxidants
in coffee could reduce the risk of death from inflammatory disease,
according to new research from the University of Oslo, Norway.
The researchers reviewed a study of over 27,000 postmenopausal
American women, who were tracked over a period of 15 years. At the
end of the study period 4,265 deaths had been recorded.
After adjusting the results for age, smoking and alcohol
consumption, the researchers reported that death from inflammatory
diseases (including cancer) was 28% lower among women who drank one
to three cups of coffee per day.
Editor's comment:
Inflammation is widely regarded now as being implicated in
Alzheimer's Disease, Ageing, Heart Disease, Cancer, Arthritis and
virtually all other chronic health conditions.
Often, a combination of supplements may
help in alleviating the symptoms of conditions but please read the

Coffee - How bad is it really?
Coffee has had numerous
research studies devoted to it. The results are often conflicting,
with one study praising its benefits, and the next showing its
downside.
On the negative side, coffee has been shown to interfere with
your body's ability to keep
homocysteine and cholesterol levels in check (probably by
reducing the action of vitamins B12, B6 and folic acid). It's been
associated with increased risk of stroke and rheumatoid arthritis.
And studies have also shown that caffeine in coffee can raise blood
pressure and levels of stress hormones and, if consumed in large
quantities, it can lead to heart palpitations, nervousness and
jitteriness.
On the plus side, coffee has been shown to reduce the risk of
death from inflammatory disease, and coffee has been shown to help
improve memory in older women.
Caution with using caffeine during pregnancy is advised -
research suggests that drinking two to three cups of coffee (or more
than 300mg of coffee daily) may increase the risk of miscarriage,
birth defects such as cleft palate and low birth weight.
If you're aiming to improve your health, however, then almost
certainly it's more urgent and important to eliminate soft drinks,
many of which contain the dangerous cancer causing chemical benzene,
as well as more sugar than most people would imagine.
The best drink is, of course, clean water. |
