What scientific results are you googling exactly? Everything I can find shows a strong consensus that coffee has positive effects across the board. This seems like a good summary:
https://www.nytimes.com/2015/05/12/upshot/more-consensus-on-coffees-benefits-than-you-might-think.html https://www.nytimes.com/2015/05/12/upshot/more-consensus-on-...
Highlight from that article:
>There have been two meta-analyses published within the last year or so. The first reviewed 20 studies, including almost a million people, and the second included 17 studies containing more than a million people. Both found that drinking coffee was associated with a significantly reduced chance of death. I can’t think of any other product that has this much positive epidemiologic evidence going for it.
I don't understand how you can claim coffee is bad for your heart in good faith if you have read _any_ of the research... for example, this meta-analysis of 36 studies: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24201300 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24201300
> A nonlinear association between coffee consumption and CVD risk was observed in this meta-analysis. Moderate coffee consumption was inversely significantly associated with CVD risk, with the lowest CVD risk at 3 to 5 cups per day, and heavy coffee consumption was not associated with elevated CVD risk.
I think any doctor worth their salt would tell you that there is a strong scientific consensus that drinking coffee is not only completely safe, but it has preventative effects towards cancer, cardiovascular disease, Parkinson's, and Type-2 diabetes.
Here's a bonus review of 112 meta-analyses: http://www.annualreviews.org/doi/abs/10.1146/annurev-nutr-071816-064941 http://www.annualreviews.org/doi/abs/10.1146/annurev-nutr-07...
> Of the 59 unique outcomes examined in the selected 112 meta-analyses of observational studies, coffee was associated with a probable decreased risk of breast, colorectal, colon, endometrial, and prostate cancers; cardiovascular disease and mortality; Parkinson's disease; and type-2 diabetes.
- ssijak 9y agoWell, at least anecdotally regular caffeine (several cups per day) intake messes up your energy level, sleep patterns, etc. And if you mess with your adrenal glands, there could be subtle and long-lasting effects on your energy and mood.
- KozmoNau7 9y agoThat's a high intake, though. A cup of day has solely positive effects, as far as I can tell from reading the research. All things in moderation and moderation in all things.
- tertius 9y agoEven if this is true, it seems it's still better than not drinking coffee. And I agree with you, at least anecdotally, that this happens.
