Buzz on Coffee

For all you coffee drinkers out there... as with everything moderation is key :) Not suggesting you start drinking coffee just thought these articles were interesting.












When researchers looked at specific causes of death, they found that coffee drinkers had lower rates of:
  • Heart disease
  • Lung disease
  • Stroke
  • Injuries and accidents
  • Diabetes
  • Infections
Cancer deaths were similar in frequency among those who did or did not drink coffee.
Observing a lower death rate among coffee drinkers does not prove that coffee itself is responsible. A study of this type cannot determine cause and effect....

Many studies have recently been published suggesting coffee is not the health-damaging beverage it’s been portrayed to be; research now suggests coffee can lower your risk for type 2 diabetes, Parkinson’s disease, dementia, stroke, and cancers of the liver, kidney and prostate
