Coffee Healthy Or Not

[Mohit_Kg]

Is that morning cup of coffee good for you or not? It seems to depend on which new survey you read. One recent study found that light-to-moderate coffee-drinking adults of middle to old age had an increased risk of heart attack in the hour after their first morning cup.

People already at risk from heart disease from high blood pressure, diabetes or who smoked were singled out in particular. Those who exercised little were also in danger from that sudden surge of caffeine.

According to the report in Epidemiology, coffee may increase nervous system activity and blood pressure enough to burst a pre-existing fatty deposit on the artery walls, obstructing blood flow and causing a heart attack.

Heavy coffee drinkers, on the other hand, develop a tolerance to these side effects of caffeine, so are less at risk.

The American Cocoa Research Institute — which presumably has


a positive view of the caffeine beverage — funded a study that found that the significant amount of antioxidants in coffee might provide protection from cancer.


Although antioxidants are found in fruit and vegetables, the study’s leader Joe Vinson, a chemistry professor from the University of Scranton, revealed Americans get more of their antioxidants from coffee than anything else.

A different study found no connection between heart disease and heavy drinkers of filtered coffee. Yet another indicated that any negative effects of coffee drinking upon the heart might rather be the result of genetics.

But if you manage to avoid the temptation of a quick jolt at the kitchen counter, it’s hard to resist it on the street when increasing numbers of competing chain coffee shops appear in the puzzling way of shoe stores, clumped together on every block.

Actually, coffee is not unlike a new pair of shoes. Footwear never looks better than when it is in the box. Once on the feet, it’s downhill from there. The taste of coffee never quite lives up to its smell, no matter how good the beans and how well it has been made.

But if that cup of coffee isn’t doing you any good and you still insist on drinking it, it may as well do good to someone.

Why don't we use a strong , small cup of espresso coffee,Carefully slide into it a scoop of best vanilla ice cream.
