Coffee Drinkers…this is for you!

Go ahead. Pour yourself another cup of joe.

“Studies have shown that coffee may have health benefits, including protecting against Parkinson’s disease, type 2 diabetes and liver disease, including liver cancer. Coffee also appears to improve cognitive function and decrease the risk of depression.”

There is a word of caution in the research. There could be some risks. If you drink too much unfiltered coffee (boiled or espresso), you may have mild elevations in cholesterol levels.

There is also a caution for an increase in the risk of heart disease in people with a fairly common, specific genetic mutation that slows the breakdown of caffeine in the body. How fast you metabolize coffee may affect your health risk. There’s always something to put a damper on things!!

Just a reminder…adding cream and sugar to your coffee adds fat and calories. And, sometimes it’s hundreds of calories!

This video from the Mayo Clinic tells you why! There is also important information concerning peanut allergies.
