I've been hearing these studies lately and it's just hard to believe. I hope it's true because I love coffee and drink 2-3 cups a day but what are your thoughts. Maybe someone can enlighten me...

  1. I heard a report that it was good for preventing some type of cancer not sure which kind though.  I need my coffee in the morning irregardless of what it does for you.  I find the everything in moderation is a good rule of thumb to live by.  Has worked so far.


  2. no

  3. Just like anything else, there are health benefits in it as well as something that'll make you sick! You have to take the good with the bad!

  4. The latest studies show that women benefit the most. However, the diuretic flow for men is beneficial for the prostate.

    I think the health benefits are credible, so drink up my friend.

  5. I know that cancer likes an acidic pH.  And coffee makes your system acidic.

  6. I DID hear of a study that showed that 4+ cups of coffee a day helped prevent uterine cancer .....since I also drink alot of coffee, it's nice to hear that there are some GOOD benefits too:)

  7. Coffee drinkers in the study had slightly lower death rates than non-coffee drinkers over time, whether their drink of choice had caffeine or not.

    The findings do not prove that coffee is protective, but they strongly suggest that drinking coffee in large amounts is not harmful if you are healthy, researcher Esther Lopez-Garcia, PhD, of the University of Madrid, tells WebMD.

    We can't say from this one study that coffee extends your life, but it does appear that it doesn't increase the risk for death for people who are healthy.

  8. just another fad if you ask me, so for now enjoy that extra cup. more than 2 cups and i am a nervous wreck.

  9. NO NOT COFFEE TAKE GOOD EXERCISES AND YOGA      DAILY 2HOURS MORNING AND 2HOURS EVENING
