It seems I’m always seeing some new article touting the health benefits of coffee. This time around, I came across a single article that seems to cover most of them. Let’s see, coffee:
Coffee reduces the risk of skin cancer (basal-cell carcinoma, specifically)
reduces stroke risk
reduces depression in women
reduces risk of type 2 diabetes
reduces the risk of MRSA infection in their noses(?!)
reduces the chance of developing cirrhosis of the liver
reduce risk of death from all causes
reduces risk of prostate cancer
INCREASES risk of intracranial aneurysm (that’s bad)
reduces risk of gallstones
reduces risk of Parkinson’s disease
reduces post workout muscle pain
INCREASES risk of miscarriage
At the end of the day though – it tastes great and that’s why I drink it!
