Coffee is good for you

Especially if you’re a woman


Full Story

Long-term coffee drinking does not appear to increase a person’s risk of early death and may cut a person’s chances of dying from heart disease, according to a study published on Monday.

Previous studies have given a mixed picture of health effects from coffee, finding a variety of benefits and some drawbacks from the popular drink. The new study looked at people who drank caffeinated or decaffeinated coffee.

Researchers led by Esther Lopez-Garcia of Universidad Autonoma de Madrid in Spain followed 84,214 U.S. women from 1980 to 2004 and 41,736 U.S. men from 1986 to 2004.

They found that regular coffee drinking – up to six cups a day – was not associated with increased deaths among the study’s middle-aged participants. In fact, the coffee drinkers, particularly the women, experienced a small decline in death rates from heart disease.

** Some studies have indicated coffee is a great source of antioxidants,** substances that may protect against the effects of molecules called free radicals that can damage cells and may play a role in heart disease, cancer and other ailments.

Recent studies have offered a mixed picture on the health effects of coffee.
A study that came out in January found that pregnant women who drink two or more cups of coffee a day had twice the risk of miscarriage as those who avoid caffeine. Another study appearing in January found that drinking caffeinated coffee lowered a woman’s risk of ovarian cancer.


Now if you please excuse me, I’m going to have my extra tall double mocha grande with extra caffiene. :chai:

Re: Coffee is good for you

See I always knew coffee was good for me.
I only have 2 cups a day maximum, had more when I was working.

Re: Coffee is good for you

exactly! i have a cup a day, and only more when i have a long day at uni or during exams. it’s nice :jano:

Re: Coffee is good for you

I also read on WebMD that people who are regular drinkers of coffee are also up to 80% less likely to develop Parkinson's Disease.

Re: Coffee is good for you

i always argued with desi minded girls bout tea and coffee but today u officially proved me right :jhanda:

so :nah: to all of those idiot girls who say

“dont drink coffee uff!!! its too bad specially for girls it can lead to irregular periods or bla bla its ok for guiys but for girls its poison”

i seriously wanna say the “F” word right now cuz i always get to hear that sentece whenevr i buy coffe or tea

i always knew i was cool :smooth: :snooty:

Re: Coffee is good for you

home made - 2 tsp instant, folgers, in a hot cup of skim milk.

Re: Coffee is good for you

so is it really bad khummi aapa??:konfused:

is tea or coffee really bad for girls???

or its just a myth???

Re: Coffee is good for you

first its bad then its good then its good in moderation and bad if you drink more now its good in excess

hehehe the key with anything is moderation. for some 6 cups just might be nothing

ooo! i didn’t know that.

i have heard that the caffiene in the coffee or tea can make your cramps worse, so they say to avoid them when you have your period. but at the same time the amount of caffiene you should drink depends on how your body deals with it. a cup or 2 a day isn’t that bad…6 IMO is like…a lot…but not bad still. as for it being poison, well…we can see that it certainly isn’t :smooth:

that’s my formula :smooth: actually 1 is enough for me…2 makes it too strong :bummer:

Re: Coffee is good for you

ok so caffiene can make cramps worse

but its not like if u will have caffien than it will upset ur cycle or anything like that???

cuz i have always heard form sum ppl that dont give girls tea or coffe it will make them have periods early

i dont think its true

wat u say???

Re: Coffee is good for you

umm nice:rotato:

coffee or any substance, drug or herb 4 that matter does not have a uniform effect on every human being. every person's body chemistry and genetic makeup is different. the same substance can have different effects on different ppl. for soem ppl it has negative effects, that is there experience..that is y those r the ppl that say its not good 4 u.. nd others dont

BUT..actually it isnt good 4 u because it doesnt have any nutrional value..and 1 bogus study done and written on paper cannot discount hte 100s of studies done on coffee that shows its negative effects on the human body and mind..

but if u guyz want 2 damage urselfs nd praise this toxin just bcs it keeps u awake..then by all means go ahead take it and get insomnia, anxiety attacks and mental problems with chronic high use..

go ahead nd harm urselfs all u want..but dont lie about it adn do whole bunch of bakwaas..if u think its good 4 u bcs it keeps u awake..thats about all it does nywy..then say what it does 4 u...

but dont be putting this bogus bakwaas study here..go get soem real evidence 2 back up ur bogus claim..oh .thats rite u cant..cause ur bsing! go type in coffee nutritional value on internet search nd c wht u come up with..not much that s LEGIT. nd dont disregard the 1000s of studies that prove its bad effets on ppl bcs of 1 bakwaasi paper which some bakwaasi wrote bcs he/she knew that hte average lay person whos not 2 bright will believe nd pass it on..nd thats exactly wht hppnd on this thread

SO WAKE UP ND SMELL THE COFFEE PAKIS!!

I cant believe ppl come up with crap like that...OMG, so there are ppl out there that actually dont let their girls have tea/coffee????????? im very surprised, to be honest.

anyways, i personally dont think it messes up the cycle or have girls get their periods early. however, i know a couple of girls that complaint abt cramps getting worse if they drink coffee during their first day or two ONLY !!!!!

Re: Coffee is good for you

Coffee is good for you but it doesn't say coffee **with **cream and sugar is good as well... so itna khush honay ki zaroorat nahi hai.

Re: Coffee is good for you

cofee itsself might be fine but uhh iced coffee from starbucks with whipped cream and milk and sugar..is not lol

Soni27, you may be right that this study may not have the most accurate information. Usually studies don't as they are pathways to long term research. Some things we heard many years ago from our grandmas have along the years been proven to be ineffective or even inaccurate so the best thing to do is to get information and make wise decisions based on your best ability and understanding.

This is a public forum and we are usually just discussing matters not changing our lives, hopefully.

Totally agree.

Started taking tea after dinner (other than my usual intake during the day) for few months couple of years back, started suffering from insomnia and other health issues (mental and physical), was prescribed anti anxiety medication, sleeping pills and some other medication for physical health.

Most of the times, people's health issues are due to the fact that they themselves mess up their body's natural chemicals with the intake of these toxins not knowing if they suit them.

Every body reacts differently to different toxins. If you have a very strong and robust physical health, you might not even notice the difference but people with sensitive system should limit their intake of coffee as per their own body's acceptance level or requirement of the toxin. Excceeding that would definitely mess up their system.

coffee is good so far its black..as 1 cup of black coffee(starbucks) has almost 10 calories only and its good when u r on a diet..helps u to reduce ur weight and things like that...keeps u awake and saturated for sometime ..so u dont think of grabing that donut/croissant. while on diet..but i personally agree that excess of everything is bad...so i very rarely go for coffee.and whenever i do i make sure it should ocntain only like 78 to 80 calories...(i prefer cappuccino with extra light whipped cream)
but in summers its very seldom but in winters i do have max 2 cups in a day and that too not daily...
