Thats pretty much when everyone on the street told us. Okay, we er starbucks but Something Like 85 of americans consume some version of a coffee drink every day. What to do about studies like the ones in mayo clinic proceedings that found people who drink 28 cups a week, thats about four cups a day had a 21 higher death rate than noncoffee drinkers and those younger than 55 years old had more than a 50 increase of death. Its upsetting but i dont think its that surprising. Other studies have shown decreased risk of developing alzheimers disease, parkinsons disease and type 2 diabetes. Other studies have shown Drinking Coffee can decrease the likelihood of developing certain cancers by 20 to 40 . Judging by consumption figures few people have changed their habits but some coffee drinkers do have a bad reaction to their beverage, it depends on whether youre a fast or slow metabolizer. 8 ounces drink it within an hour and you dont get a headache, you dont get abnormal heartbeats, get anxiety, you dont get gastric upset, youre most likely a fast metabolizer and will get a benefit. The vast majority of americans, 88 are fast metabolizers, but for slow metabolizers, the side effects may outweigh the benefits and how you make your coffee can be bad for your cholesterol. Filter it through paper, that takes away the substance that raises your blood cholesterol levels. As for longterm health its unlikely youll drink enough one way or another to actually make a difference. Does what mean no more of these studies coffee may be bad for you, coffee may be good for you. Theyll probably be more of them. Threees espressos a day. Is that what you do . No, i do maybe two cups of coffee a day. One big iced coffee for me.
