…and Joyce Houben showed in her dissertation (Maastricht, the Netherlands, 2011) that drinking 3 cups of coffee or more keeps your telomeres longer or at least slows down the shortening of them.

In reply to Rick Strawcutter.

I see you are a pastor Mr Strawcutter,
Meaning you interfere with the mind and opinions of others as a professional entitlement.
FYI 10,000s of people follow what I write. Like any teacher, I summarize what’s being said.
And despite what you Christians think, free speech and the right to comment is healthy.

I just love it when someone feels compelled to “tweak” and professorilize the beneficial work of others. Instead of telling us what an article “should” have contained or expressed, just present your own articles…. or is there no audience yet for your keen insights and you hope to gain ground by showing us how smart you are. Actually I hate to sound so critical myself, but there are more positive and less rude ways to state both points which in their substance are probably good.

Of course, I didn’t address that issue Donna,
A number of people are very allergic to coffee.
You can get it organic though.

All those benefits presuppose one tolerates coffee well- not all livers cope well.

I “tried” to drink coffee for years (after all, I was a reg nurse and we all drink it – especially on the night shift). I suffered from rapid heartbeat, higher blood pressure, acidity (fingers turned black under rings), nerves, addiction to caffeine, etc. When I stopped I felt so, so much better! Yet, I had only drunk 1 – 3 cups per day! Also, when
I came down from the “caffeine high”, I felt exhausted. I have read that the coffee
growing industry uses huge amounts of pesticides, herbicides, nitrites and nitrate fertilizers because, after all, coffee is in big demand and so it is planted continually in the same plots of land. So it must be rather contaminated with toxins…….

The first thing this article should have pointed out is that the benefits mentioned will accrue ONLY from organic, shade-grown, whole coffee beans that you grind yourself. You will not get these benefits from the ground coffee that comes out of a can. The latter falls into the category of a “processed food”. Canned, pre-ground coffee is caca and should be avoided like the plague because it contains industrial pollutants used during processing.

The second thing the article should point out is that coffee should never be drunk with meals. It will interfere with digestion if you do so. Wait at least 30 minutes after a meal to consume it and THEN it will aid digestion.

Other than that, the information is fairly accurate…..
