In all seriousness, here are some

scienti c reasons for drinking coffee in
moderation.
Top 11 Co ee Health
Bene ts
1 Cut the Pain

Two cups of coffee can cut post-
workout muscle pain by up to
48%. From the Journal of Pain,
March 2007 (link)
2 Increase your ber intake

A cup of brewed coffee
represents a contribution of up to
1.8 grams of ber of the
recommended intake of 20-38
grams. From the Journal of
Agricultural and Food Chemistry
(link).
3 Protection against cirrhosis of

the liver
Of course, you could just cut
down on the alcohol intake. From
the Archives of Internal Medicine
(link). Another more recent study
also showed coffee’s liver
protecting bene ts. link. Yet
another study showed that both
coffee and decaffeinated coffee
lowered the liver enzyme levels of
coffee drinkers. This study was
published in the Hepatology
Journal.
4 Lowered risk of Type 2 Diabetes

Those who consumed 6 or more
cups per day had a 22% lower
risk of diabetes. From the
Archives of Internal Medicine
(link). A recent review of research
conducted by Harvard’s Dr. Frank
Hu showed that the risk of type II
diabetes decreases by 9% for
each daily cup of coffee
consumed. Decaf coffee
decreased risk by 6% per cup.
5 Lowered risk of Alzheimer’s

disease
There is considerable evidence

that caffeine may protect against
Alzheimer’s disease. From the
European Journal of Neurology
(link). A recent study also
isolated the compounds in
roasted coffee that may be
responsible for preventing the
build-up of the brain plaque
believed to cause the disease.
6 Reduces suicide risk and

Depression
A 10-year study of 86,000 female
nurses shows a reduced risk of
suicide in the coffee drinkers.
From the Archives of Internal
Medicine (link). Another study
conducted by the Harvard School
of Public Health found that
women who drink 4 or more cups
of coffee were 20% less likely to
suffer from depression. Study
link.
7 Protection against Parkinson’s

People with Parkinson’s disease
are less likely to be smokers and
coffee drinkers than their healthy
siblings. Just make sure you
don’t get lung cancer on the way.
From the Archives of Neurology
(link). Even newer research out of

Sweden revealed that drinking
coffee reduces the risk of
Parkinson’s even when genetic
factors come into play. link. Yet
another study (published here)
found that caffeine combined
with EHT (a compound found in
coffee beans) provided protective
bene ts to rats that were
genetically predisposed to
developing Parkinson’s.
8 Coffee drinkers have less risk of

heart disease. Korean
researchers found that study
participants who consumed 3 to
5 cups of coffee a day were less
likely to show the beginning signs
of heart disease. The study.
Other dietary factors should also
be noted as Koreans typically
have a different diet than do
Westerners. A more recent study
conducted in Brazil found that
those that consume at least three
cups of coffee a day tend to
develop less calci cation in their
coronary arteries. A 2019 study
con rmed that coffee doesn’t
cause hardening of the arteries
even among the study
participants who drank upwards
of 25 cups of coffee per day.
9 Coffee drinkers have stronger

DNA. A study published in the
European Journal of Nutrition

showed that coffee drinkers have
DNA with stronger integrity since
the white blood cells of coffee
drinkers had far fewer instances
of spontaneous DNA strand
breakage. Study abstract.
10 Lower Risk of Multiple Sclerosis.

Recent research showed that at
least 4 cups of coffee a day may
help protect against the
development and reoccurrence of
MS. It is believed that the coffee
prevents the neural in ammation
that possibly leads to the disease
developing. The study was
published in the Journal of
Neurology, Neurosurgery &
Psychiatry.
11 Coffee reduces colorectal cancer

risk. Even moderate consumption
of coffee can reduce the odds of
developing colorectal cancer by
26%. This protective bene t
increases with more
consumption. The study is
described in detail here.
Recent research has also shown

that coffee may boost a woman’s
sex drive, but the fact that it’s
only been tested on rats
somehow takes the shine off.
More Reasons to
Drink Co ee…
New research concerning coffee and
health is being conducted all the time.
Here are some more of the latest
studies.
1 Reduced Liver Cancer

Risk: Researchers at USC Norris
Comprehensive Cancer Center
found that those that consume 1-
3 cups of coffee a day have a
29% reduced risk of developing
liver cancer (hepatocellular
carcinoma (HCC), which is the
most common type. Src.
2 Less Gout Risk: Yet another

reason: Risk for developing gout
(in men) decreases with
increasing coffee consumption.
This is a large study of over
50,000 men (link).
3 Longevity: Greek boiled coffee

linked to longevity and heart
health. –link. Another study
published in the June 17, 2008,
issue of the Annals of Internal
Medicine showed that women

who consume coffee had a lower
risk of death from cancer, heart
disease, and other factors, which
therefore promotes a longer
lifespan. Yet another study
published in the New England
Journal of Medicine showed that
coffee drinkers were at less risk
of dying prematurely from
diseases like diabetes, heart
disease and forms of cancer.
Study link. Another study from
Japan found that men who drink
at least 3 cups of coffee per day
have a 24% less risk of dying
early from disease. Yet another
study from Harvard also
con rmed that those who drink 1-
5 cups of coffee a day avoid
diseases linked to premature
death. The study. A Japanese-
based study also found similar
results when it comes to coffee
and longevity. The study.
Two more 2017 research studies
have con rmed what earlier
studies have found. Those that
drink coffee live longer than
those who don’t. The American
study is found here and the
European-based study is found
here.
4 Prevents Retinal Damage.

A Cornell University Study
showed that coffee may prevent
retinal damage due to oxidative

stress. Caffeine isn’t the culprit
here, but chlorogenic acid (CLA),
which is one of the strong
antioxidants found in the coffee
bean. link
5 Black coffee prevents cavities.

Researchers out of Brazil found
that strong black coffee kills the
bacteria on teeth that promote
tooth decay. Adding milk or sugar
to coffee negates this bene t. –
link
6 Coffee may protect against

periodontal disease. As part of
the US Department of Veterans
Affairs, Dental Longitudinal Study
coffee consumption and dental
health among 1,152 men was
tracked from 1968-1998. The
researchers found that coffee
didn’t promote gum disease and
actually showed a protective
bene t. Link
7 Coffee may protect against

melanoma. A study published in
the Journal of the National
Cancer Institute found that
melanoma risk decreases with
coffee consumption and that this
risk decreases with each cup
consumed. Study link.
8 The USDA’s 2015 dietary

guidelines recommend it for
better health. They advise people
that having 3 to 5 cups of coffee
a day is good for their overall
health and reduces the risk of
disease. However, they report
that adding sugar, cream, or
avored creamers quickly
negates the potential bene ts.
The complete report here. (pdf)
9 Reduced heart attack mortality

risk. Researchers found that
those who drink two or more
cups of coffee daily after having
a heart attack have the least risk
of dying from the heart attack.
The study.
10 It helps people get along with co-

workers better. A study
published in the Journal of
Psychopharmacology showed
that workers/ workplaces who
consume coffee have a more
positive view of self and others
than do workers/ workspaces
that do not consume coffee.
Coffee consumption also
enhanced participation in
workplace group activities.
Co ee’s Health
Promoting
Antioxidants
Coffee Berries
Coffee’s health-promoting properties

are likely due to the antioxidants
naturally occurring in the coffee bean.
A typical serving of coffee contains

more antioxidants than typical
servings of grape juice, blueberries,
raspberries, and oranges.
Antioxidants in coffee may dampen

in ammation, reducing the risk of
disorders related to it, like
cardiovascular disease.
A study from Monash University

even further demonstrated the
antioxidant capacities of brewed
coffee.
Just drink decaf then?
While there are still some health

bene ts to drinking decaf coffee, most
of the above studies showed that
caffeinated coffee had the greatest
bene ts.
This is due to some of the coffee’s

antioxidant capacity being removed
during the decaffeination process.
How Safe or
Bene cial is Co ee
Then?
For most people, coffee can be a
healthy part of the diet. It is ne to
enjoy a couple of cups a day unless you
can’t control your consumption.
However, coffee may not be bene cial

for everyone. Those with certain heart
conditions, caffeine sensitivity, and
women who are pregnant should stick
to decaf or tea.
Also, those that drink coffee in excess

may be negating some of the bene ts
because of the large amounts of
caffeine they are consuming. These
people may bene t from a caffeine
detox to reset their caffeine tolerance
to more moderate levels.
The key is moderation, which is

typically 2-3 cups a day, to get the
coffee health bene ts but avoid the
negative issues associated with too
much caffeine.
A meta-review of over 200

studies (by the British Medical
Journal) concluded that “coffee

consumption seems generally
safe […] and more likely to bene t
health than harm”.
