I receive daily email alerts on discounted Kindle ebooks, and my latest purchase for $1.99 is “The Big Five” by Dr Sanjiv Chopra. I was stunned to read this:
“Coffee appears to offer a great variety of benefits, including substantial protection against liver cirrhosis, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, Parkinson’s disease, cognitive decline and dementia, gallstones, tooth decay, and a host of common cancers, including prostate, colon, endometrial, and skin cancer. There also is a lower rate of suicide among coffee drinkers.”
There’s a ton of research to support these claims, but why is it I’ve never read about the miraculous powers of coffee in the media? Hmm.
Anyway, once you discover something new, your mind latches onto it and more salient info begins to pop up. For example, I just read that it’s best to drink coffee only in the morning – you’re 16% less likely to die from any cause compared to a non-drinker.
I’ll never look at coffee the same way again.
