Is coffee better for
you than you think?
For many Americans, coffee is a daily habit,
even an, addiction. For others, it is a guilty
pleasure. But some new research suggests that
coffee often gets a bad rap, and that coffee
drinkers have no need to be ashamed.
"Coffee has been blamed for everything from
indigestion to cancer," says Dr. Roseane M.
Santos, co-author of "An Unashamed Defense
of Coffee: 101 Reasons to Drink Coffee
Without Guilt." "But almost everything people
think about coffee is wrong. It's actually one of
the healthiest beverages we can consume."
Santos is a professor at South University's
school of pharmacy in Savannah, Ga., where
she runs a research team focused on coffee and
health. And while many health experts now
advise drinking a glass of red wine each day,
Santos would recommend drinking coffee as
well.
Santos is certainly not alone in thinking that
coffee can be healthy. But some health experts
have been slow to warm up to its beneficial
effects.
Why don't more experts recommend coffee? It
probably stems from the fact that for decades,
people have focused on one component of
coffee - caffeine. But coffee is much more than
a steaming cup of get-up-and-go. It contains
important minerals such as potassium, iron and
zinc, and an abundance of natural antioxidants
known as chlorogenic acids.
"The age- and cancer-fighting qualities of
antioxidants are well known to the health-
conscious," explains Santos. "But what is less
well known, and what the American Heart
Association recommends, is the importance of
getting antioxidants from natural sources: fruits,
vegetables and coffee. The coffee bean is, after
all, a fruit."
Much like the health benefits of red wine have
been separated from the detrimental effects of
excessive alcohol, coffee and caffeine are
beginning to be .understood independent of one
another. The truth is that adults will not see any
negative effects from caffeine - and will get
all the healthy benefits of coffee - as long as
they limit their intake to three to four cups of
regular coffee per day.
Adults are not the only ones who are drinking
coffee, Santos says. "In Brazil, my native
country, the health ministry recommends
coffee with milk for schoolchildren's breakfasts,
since it improves memory and attention skills."
Santos does raise one warning to those who
would turn to coffee as a health drink. The
blacker your ground coffee is, the less healthy it
is. The reason is that when coffee is roasted for
too long, there is not much left but caffeine.
Most of the nutrients have been chemically
altered by the roasting process.
As for indigestion, "There is no evidence that
coffee causes gastric problems," says Santos,
citing a 2006 study by Stanford University
researchers Kaltenbach, Crockett and Gerson.
"Some people may be intolerant of coffee or
caffeine, just as some people are intolerant of
hot pepper sauce or dairy products. But daily
coffee intake cannot be considered responsible
for the onset of gastric ulcers or gastriti s in
healthy people."
And cancer? There was a scare in the early
1980s when a study initially tied coffee to a
higher risk of pancreatic cancer. But follow-up
research determined that smoking, not coffee,
was the real cause.
So grab that cup of coffee and sip to your
health. There's no need to be ashamed
anymore.
