Coffee : Poison or Health Elixir?

By Stephen Bucaro

Computers are very complicated, so computer professionals
need to keep their brain synapses firing rapidly. To
accomplish this, many computer professionals consume large
amounts of coffee. Studies keep coming out that prove
coffee is dangerous to our health. Other studies prove
those findings to be false. Is coffee bad for us or not?

Does coffee raise blood pressure?

A 2002 study by John Hopkins University that tracked 1,000
former medical students found that heavy coffee drinking is
associated with a small increase in blood pressure, but not
enough to increase the risk for hypertension.

Does coffee cause heart attacks?

A 2000 Finnish study that surveyed more than 20,000 Finnish
men and women about their coffee drinking habits and
medical history found no evidence that coffee drinking is
connected to heart disease.

The study did find that coffee drinkers have poorer health
habits than those who drank no coffee. Those who drank
coffee were more likely to smoke and have greater amounts
of body fat.

Those who drank less than one cup of coffee a day were more
likely have back problems, constipation, nausea, gallstones,
and congestion, and deaths from heart disease were highest
in those who did not drink coffee.

Does coffee cause diabetes?

A 2003 study by researchers at the Harvard School of Public
Health found that people who drank four to five cups per
day reduced their risk of type 2 diabetes by 30 percent.
And men who drink six or more cups of coffee per day
lowered their risk of type 2 diabetes an additional 20
percent. (The additional protection did not appear for
Women).

Does coffee harm your brain?

A 2000 study by researchers in Hawaii that surveyed 8,000
men found that those who drank three or more cups of coffee
per day were five times less likely to develop Parkinson's
disease. Coffee appears to provide strong protection from
Parkinson's disease.

These studies prove that coffee is not bad for us, but in
fact it provides many health benefits. So computer
professionals can continue to consume large amounts of
coffee in order to keep their brain synapses firing. I
would like to expand further on the health benefits of
coffee, but it's time for my coffee break.
