New Coffee Health Studies


Coffee is full of a number of health benefits, but the most recent study was published in the Hepatology Journal in January of 2010. The results from this study regarding coffee showed that the participants that increased their caffeine consumption had reduced signs of hepatic fibrosis. The participants within the study drank around 2 cups of coffee per day, and their symptoms were severely lessened.

In a related study done in 2007, it showed that regularly drinking coffee lowered levels of uric acid in the body, which often causes osteoarthritis and gout.

Last of all, keep in mind that habitually drinking coffee reduces the risk of diabetes. For every additional cup of coffee that you drink, your risk of diabetes is reduced by 7% because it works to regulate the metabolism and blood sugar within the body. I'll drink to that!

Coffee Prevents Advanced Prostate Cancer

In a 20 year study done on 50,000 men, those that were regular coffee drinkers showed to be 60% less likely to be diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer that is difficult to treat. The main reason for this is many of the healthy components within coffee besides caffeine.

Coffee can directly affect the metabolism of glucose in the body, insulin levels, and sex hormone levels, which all contribute to the diagnosis of prostate cancer. Researchers have not yet pinpointed the exact component in coffee that provides these health benefits to men, but it in no way harms the health or increases the risk for prostate cancer.

This does not mean that men should begin heavily drinking coffee on a daily basis, but it is advised for both men and women to drink a moderate amount of coffee, 2 or 3 cups, daily for maximum health benefits.
