A Healthy Brew, Experts Say

by Jessica

New York, July 9 (UPI) — Experts liken coffee to a “mini-Mediterranean diet,” emphasizing its health benefits that often surpass any potential risks. Stephen Safe, a Texas A&M professor, notes that coffee’s plant-based nature mirrors the Mediterranean diet’s focus on plant foods.

Research supports these claims, with studies indicating that coffee drinkers have a 22% lower risk of Type 2 diabetes and significant reductions in cancer risks. Marilyn Cornelis of Northwestern University highlights coffee’s neuroprotective effects, linking caffeine to improved brain health.

Despite concerns about heart disease and anxiety, recent data show no significant associations with coffee consumption. Experts recommend enjoying black coffee for maximum benefits, while preparation methods matter. The Department of Health and Human Services suggests up to five cups daily is safe, urging individuals to gauge their own tolerance.

Ultimately, as Dr. Donald Hensrud advises, “If you’re not experiencing side effects, enjoy your coffee.”
