The answer is straightforward: no, coffee is not bad for your health. In fact, numerous scientific studies confirm its benefits when consumed in moderation.
Benefits for the Body
Coffee contains components with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and insulin-sensitizing properties. Molecules such as caffeic acid can reduce inflammation and stimulate the death of cancer cells.
Scientific Studies
- Dana-Farber Cancer Institute: Daily consumption may decrease the risk of colorectal cancer
- Universities of Southampton and Edinburgh: Up to 50% reduction in the risk of liver cancer
- Chinese research: 16% drop in the risk of death from prostate cancer
- Studies with women: Lower incidence of breast cancer among frequent consumers
The beverage also aids in weight loss by accelerating the breakdown of fat cells and improving performance in physical exercise.
Benefits for the Mind
Studies show that caffeine has neuroprotective action, reducing risks of dementia and cognitive decline. It can also help in treating ADHD symptoms.
Social Dimension
Coffee represents much more than a beverage: it is a pause during the day, gatherings with friends and family, meaningful conversations.
Contraindications
Not recommended for people with:
- Recurring insomnia
- Advanced osteoporosis
- Stomach irritation
- Caffeine hypersensitivity
