Coffee intruded into Chinese life, has become an indisputable fact, many people have fallen in love with coffee, can not do without it. Subsequently, the quality of drinking coffee has become a topic of discussion, and it has also become a confusion for us to drink coffee. today, let's expose the five false rumors of coffee.

-1.-drinking coffee often is bad for your health.

This is what we are most worried about. If it is not good for our health, no matter how good it is, we should avoid it. Is it good or not? Many scientists have answered for us: coffee can reduce mortality, prevent gum disease, fight depression, relieve eye fatigue, resist depression, prevent the occurrence of certain cancers, and so on.

-2.-drinking coffee can cause osteoporosis.

Fake. Coffee is a good source of potassium as well as oxalic acid and caffeine. Potassium helps to reduce calcium loss, while oxalic acid reduces calcium absorption, and caffeine increases urinary calcium loss. Caffeine has only a short-term diuretic effect, drinking a small amount of coffee will not cause a significant increase in daily urine calcium loss. Caffeine per cup of coffee increases calcium loss by an average of only 2mg to 3mg. If pure milk is added to the coffee, the calcium obtained from the milk is more than enough to make up for the calcium loss caused by caffeine and oxalic acid.

-3-if you drink more than three cups of coffee, your breasts will get smaller.

This statement comes from a source: "A new discovery by Swedish scientists suggests that girls who drink more than three cups of coffee a day may have smaller breasts. "it turns out that this is a misreading of the conclusion of a study that does not rule out other factors that affect breast size, such as when a rooster crows in the morning, the sun comes out, and the sun does not come out because of the rooster crow. Therefore, women do not have to give up coffee because their breasts will become smaller.

-4.-if you drink coffee often, your skin will turn black.

Just like soy sauce can make people black a few years ago, this is also a rumor. At present, there is no research showing that the melanin in coffee will deposit on the surface of human skin. On the contrary, some cosmetic effects of coffee will make the skin smooth and white!

-5.-pregnant women are not allowed to drink coffee.

A study of 1000 pregnant women from San Francisco showed that consuming 200mg of caffeine a day during the first three months of pregnancy doubled the risk of miscarriage. 200 milligrams of caffeine is equivalent to drinking two cups of coffee or five bottles of caffeinated soda. The study showed that pregnant women who consumed 200 milligrams of caffeine a day had an abortion rate of 25 percent, those who consumed 100 milligrams of caffeine a day had an abortion rate of 15 percent, and those who did not consume caffeine had an abortion rate of 12 percent. It can be seen that pregnant women are not completely unable to drink coffee, can drink no more than a small cup of coffee a day, but should avoid other caffeinated drinks or foods.

Summary: coffee is good for the human body on the whole, but we must control the amount of coffee we drink every day, Asian physique, and there is no problem for normal people to drink one or three cups a day, but if it exceeds the amount, things will be reversed at the extreme, and there will certainly be damage to the human body. Please pay attention!
