Coffee is the new miracle drug

I'm not a coffee lover (sorry Starbucks!) but I'm sure got interested upon reading the reading the article on WebMD Mens Health entitled "Coffee: The New Health Food?" Although coffee can also induce the risk of having high blood pressure ultimately leading to heart attack, a group of researchers are actually doing research and surveys on the effect of coffee drinking to human.

Sid Kirchheimer of WebMD Mens Health writes

"Want a drug that could lower your risk of diabetes, Parkinson's disease, and colon cancer? That could lift your mood and treat headaches? That could lower your risk of cavities?

If it sounds too good to be true, think again.

Coffee, the much maligned but undoubtedly beloved beverage, just made headlines for possibly cutting the risk of the latest disease epidemic, type 2 diabetes. And the real news seems to be that the more you drink, the better. "- Coffee: The New Health Food?


And believe them when they say this!
Coffee even offsets some of the damage caused by other vices, some research indicates. "People who smoke and are heavy drinkers have less heart disease and liver damage when they regularly consume large amounts of coffee compared to those who don't," says DePaulis.


This is pretty exciting! Good sign that the next billionaire on earth is a coffee farmer from Batangas maybe? Enjoy your coffee!
