Welcome the "tazzulille and 'cafe" studies demonstrate the benefits: no more than 3-5 cups per day

(by Nicola Simonetti) Coffee, a concentrate of anti-inflammatory and antioxidant active ingredients such as polyphenols, etc. which, in doses of three to five cups a day, would reduce the risk of getting heart attacks and strokes, hypertension and the same mortality from such causes to 15%.

This is confirmed by a recent research carried out at the Queen Mary University of London on over 8 thousand people which shows that coffee does not damage the arteries or the heart.

Similarly, in the British Medical Journal, researchers at the University of Southampton show that moderate doses of coffee, such as those indicated above, reduce general mortality by 17%, cardiovascular mortality by 19% and blood cancers by 18%. (leukemia, etc.), liver, etc.

Small increase in lung tumors? It would be the effect of the "cigarette before coffee" and "coffee after the cigarette". A risk that adds up.

Dr Elina Hyppònen of the Australian Center for Precision Health, on the basis of the observation of 350 thousand adults, warned: never more than five to six cups a day since, from the sixth-seventh onwards, increasing progressively, it also decreases similarly. the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effect of polyphenols and can increase blood pressure.

But pay attention to the "cups". The various species of coffee, the blends used, the amount of powder and water used in the preparation, the contact time of the powder / water, the temperature reached affect the presence of caffeine and other substances.

American coffee ("filtered") presented in cups of 180-200 millitri, with contact time of 6 minutes, contains 115-120 milligrams of caffeine (per cup.

The “boiled” coffee of the Scandinavian countries contains 145 milligrams and this preparation has been linked, by scientific research, with the increase in blood cholesterol.

The coffee from our bars (20-35 milliliters of liquid in a cup) contains 40-60 mg. while that of the homemade moka, well 60-80.

Groundless the prejudices that the decaffeinated hurts, that the over 70 years have to give up coffee: they only have to reduce it to 2-3 (exceptionally 4) per day, and that, with the depressed in care, the coffee is inhibited (tolerated up to 3 cups, having heard the doctor, could even give benefits).

Caution for people at risk of heart disease, hypertension, pregnancy.
