New research on black coffee benefits and side effects
New research shows that your morning cup of coffee may have more health benefits than you think.
You’ve probably heard the guff about coffee being bad for you. A couple of decades ago, research showed the same. However, newer research from medical associations and medical colleges from around the world are showing just the opposite. Coffee is, in fact, good for most people in some way or another.
Black Coffee Benefits and Side Effects for the Masses
According to the National Coffee Association, polls show that coffee drinkers have surpassed soda drinkers. In fact, nearly 57% of American Adults are daily coffee consumers.
Type 2 Diabetes Research & black coffee benefits
A recent Harvard University study of over 100,000 people over an 18 year period suggests that men who drank more than 6 cups of coffee per day reduced their likelihood of developing Type 2 Diabetes by over 50% over their non-coffee drinking peers. This same study showed that women who drank 6 cups per day reduced their risk by over 30% for Type 2 Diabetes.
*Do not start drinking coffee to lower your chances until you speak with your doctor. In some people, caffeine raises blood sugar levels over the short term, which may interfere with your body. As always, consult your doctor before embarking on any treatment path.
Parkinson’s Research on black coffee benefits and side effects
For some people, mostly men, coffee consumption may reduce their risk for Parkinson’s Disease. It is thought that this most likely occurs because caffeine may block certain receptors in the body, which may increase how much dopamine is available for the brain.
The Honolulu Heart Program’s recent study of 8,000+ men over a 30 year period showed that those men who drank the most cups of coffee per day were the least likely to develop Parkinson’s over the non-coffee drinkers of the same age groups. However, in this study, coffee drinking did not produce the same results for women, thought to be most likely from a relationship/interaction with estrogen replacement therapy. Further study is suggested in this area.

Black Coffee Benefits and Side Effects on Women’s Health
According to the American Heart Association, women who drink coffee regularly reduce their risk of stroke. Stroke is the 3rd leading cause of death in North America.
* 20% less in women drinking four or more cups/day.
* 19% less in women drinking 2 to 3 cups/day.
* 12% less in women drinking coffee 5 to 7 times a week.
Sodas and teas did not show this same benefit and were not shown to decrease the risk for stroke.
However, this same study also showed that women who drank more coffee tended to smoke more than their less coffee drinking counterparts. So make sure you aren’t one that thinks that by drinking more coffee, you are offsetting potential smoking risks. They will not.
