How many misunderstandings about drinking coffee? What are the advantages and disadvantages of drinking coffee? How to measure the pros and cons of coffee?

Misunderstanding one. Can drinking coffee lead to osteoporosis?

Caffeine has always been considered to be one of the risk factors for osteoporosis. Caffeine has been reported to increase calcium excretion in the urine. However, from epidemiological data, it was found that moderate caffeine intake (less than 400 mg per day) was not associated with bone loss and fractures in young women aged 20 to 50. But women who are older (over 50) and postmenopausal need to drink coffee more carefully, and more than half of studies have shown that caffeine intake is associated with bone mineral density in women over 50.

How many cups of coffee do women drink a day to easily cause osteoporosis? A recent study of 3170 women with an average age of 50 to 84 found that drinking more than two units of caffeinated drinks a day (one unit equals one cup of coffee or two cups of tea) increased the risk of hip fractures by 69 per cent. Therefore, it is recommended that women over the age of 50 had better reduce their caffeine intake and should not drink more than 2 cups of coffee a day if they really want to drink coffee.

Misunderstanding two. Espresso (Espresso) has more caffeine.

Espresso has a mellow flavor and is extracted under high pressure, so it is easy to be mistaken for its high caffeine content, but in fact this is not necessarily the case. Generally speaking, light-roasted coffee beans and coffee extracted for a long time will increase the content of caffeine. Therefore, using the "filter drop method" to brew coffee, the extraction time is longer, and the caffeine is higher than the Italian coffee extracted by high pressure and short time. If you look at the caffeine labels of various coffee drinks, a cappuccino with an espresso has about 75 milligrams of caffeine, while the same medium American coffee has 150 milligrams of caffeine, twice as much as Italian coffee. as for the highest caffeine content is the daily selection of coffee brewed by filter drops, which has about 240 milligrams in a medium cup.

Joy's Cafe warmly reminds you that cappuccino and macchiato have more ingredients in fresh milk, which is more suitable for friends who don't want to drink too much caffeine.

Misunderstanding three. People who drink coffee with palpitations can't touch coffee at all.

First determine if you have problems such as arrhythmia, cardiovascular disease, gastrointestinal disease, etc., and you should be instructed by your doctor to see if you can drink coffee. If a healthy person drinks coffee with heart palpitations, it may be coffee made from shoddy coffee beans with too much caffeine. It is recommended to change the beans to try again, or not to drink coffee brewed by filter drop method.

Misunderstanding 4. Milk is not recommended for black coffee.

Although most coffee lovers think that drinking black coffee can best taste the beauty of coffee, it is not recommended to add sugar or milk to cover up the flavor of coffee plateau, but some people think that drinking black coffee is easy to hurt the stomach. The doctor clarified that some people feel uncomfortable with their stomach and intestines after drinking coffee, mainly affected by caffeine, such as caffeine stimulates the dilator muscle at the lower end of the esophagus, making it more relaxed, which in turn causes "gastroesophageal reflux", or caffeine causes a large amount of gastric acid secretion, causing discomfort. The culprit is caffeine, so it has nothing to do with the addition of milk, while some people drink milk but the symptoms are more serious. Therefore, people with serious digestive tract diseases, such as gastric ulcers and duodenal ulcers, should not drink coffee, or people who have a lot of stomach acid every time they drink coffee should try to drink less caffeinated coffee or add more fresh milk to their coffee.
