Coffee: It’s something that many of us can’t live without, so why not learn some of the benefits and risks of consuming it? Researchers looked at many different studies to examine this. One such article found the greatest benefits were associated with drinking 3-4 cups of coffee daily, and it was found to have benefits for neurologic, metabolic, and liver conditions. It also helps with Type 2 diabetes. Of course, it’s not without its risks. Coffee was also found to negatively impact pregnancy, and bone fractures in women.
Key Takeaways:
- drinking coffee can lower risk of cancer, Alzheimer, and other neurological disorders as well as help diabetics.
- drinking 3-4 cups a day can lower risk of diabetes type 2 by as much as 30% and help with fatty livers
- this does not apply to pregnant women, as they have lower birth weights and are way more likely to miscarry
