Scientists say coffee harm is exaggerated

Scientists say it is generally believed that coffee is harmful to heart health, increases the burden on the stomach and may even cause cancer, but it is unfair for coffee to bear various charges, and some health hazards are misled.

The International Coffee Science Association says coffee can actually reduce the incidence of diseases such as Parkinson's disease and diabetes. A healthy person drinking up to six cups of coffee a day does not cause heart or digestive damage. However, nearly 200 years of medical research has been biased against coffee, the root cause of which is caffeine, a stimulant in coffee.

In fact, coffee brings more benefits to people than people think. Coffee contains chlorogenic acid and melanin, which can "trap" free radicals or atomic particles that destroy DNA and strong antioxidants associated with preventing cell damage.

Betir Fred Holm of the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm stressed at the conference that "strong evidence of epidemics" shows that coffee can prevent Parkinson's disease in men. Jayako Tumirit, an expert at the University of Helsinki, also said that drinking five to six cups of coffee a day can halve the incidence of Ⅱ diabetes associated with poor eating habits and lack of physical exercise, and reduce the incidence of type 2 diabetes by 80 percent if you drink 10 cups a day. "

Siegfried Kanas Muller of the Medical University of Vienna points out that coffee performs better than fruits and vegetables in preventing DNA oxidative damage, which is the root cause of many serious diseases, especially cancer. But at the same time, coffee does contain some potential carcinogens. James Clevelin, an American toxicology consultant, has found about 30, although no research has shown a link between coffee and cancer.
