Dr Alan Barclay is an accredited practising dietitian and researcher at the University of Sydney, who was not involved in either study. He says that the issue with the first study is that it is observational.
And although the cafestol fats in certain types of coffee may contribute to higher cholesterol in some people, it may also depend what they are consuming their coffee with, Barclay says. The first study’s authors stopped short of recommending people up their consumption of coffee to lower their risk of heart failure and Barclay says that “as with all things” the dose makes the poison.
Always a good day when science finds coffee, red wine or dark chocolate is good for you (in moderation of course!)
As Oscar said sometimes we take moderation to extremes. Surely studying coffee dinking is a waste of time. I don't think too many are going to early graves due to an extra coffee or two. A decent cup of tea in a cafe is my quest.
no body cares.. it's coffee, it's morning and we are damn well drinking it no matter what you guys say!!
