Coffee..Good For You
An article I read this weekend says that coffee is good for you! According to the article, coffee is:
A Heart Saver...A large new Harvard study found no increased heart attacks in longtime coffee drinkers. Even greater, coffee may save lives! Women ages 55-69 who drank 1-3 cups a day were 24% less likely to die of heart disease than non-coffee drinkers, says a new analysis of the Iowa Women's Health Study of 27,000 women. Indeed, their odds of dying from any cause during the study decreased 15%.
Liver Protector..Coffee, even in very low doses, appears to protect the liver. Researchers found less cirrhosis in heavy alcohol users who also consumed coffee. Drinking less than a cup a day cut risk of cirrhosis by 30%, and 4 or more cups cut it by 80%!
Diabetes: Drinking lots of coffee slashed risk of type 2 diabetes in recent studies. At Harvard, men drinking 6 or more cups of caffeinated coffee every day had half the risk of type 2 diabetes as non-coffee drinkers. In women, 6 or more cups a day cut risk by 30%. Even decafe cut odds somewhat.
Parkinsons: Coffee drinkers are about 1/3 less likely to develop Parkinson's Disease, say Harvard studies.
Now, if only they would find sugar and salt are good for you..
Mmmm..I smell a pot of coffee and a piece of Pink Lemonade pie with my name on it.........
