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.........

Coffee is my favorite drink, and always has been. I'm glad to hear all the good news about coffee. Now if they would just make shakes, ice cream sundaes, cokes, cake and all that dreamy stuff that adds pounds to my butt and tummy good for you I would be even happier. Better yet, why can't they come up with these yummy things and a way they reduce calories? Why do we have to suck on lettuce leaves, go to bed hungry and drink only water. Strange how we love the things we shouldn't have and hate the things that make us healthy.
Love,
MOM
