Coffee truths and Lies

Coffee is a much misunderstand drink. There are many scientific studies indicating the dangers of drinking coffee. There just as many scientific studies refuting the dangers. The issue concerns caffeine in the coffee and whether caffeine is harmful to people. Coffee, like all other foods are full of phytonutrients. Some which may be bad for you individually, but when added with other phytonutrients can synergistically become helpful for you. This is one reason for the confusion about coffee.

The other reason is Medical Doctors like to brag that theirs is "Scientific Medicine", backed up by scientific studies. What this list can help show you, as each of these statements came from "Scientific Studies" that science is a very easily manipulated task. Much depends on WHO is paying for the study, or WHO is actually doing the study. There are M.D.'s who get paid for having nothing to do with a faulty study, just to sign his name on the study that he conducted it. Modern medicine is NOT "Scientific" medicine. That term is a lie which many M.D.'s like to hide behind to try and make their medicine seem to be the best. It is actually far from it. They are guessing just like every other healer in the jungles.

When I taught Epidemiology and research in Medical School, I always taught my students that when you start to read a study find out first who has an interest in the findings and who financed the study. That will go a long way in its findings.

I just want to list of some of these arguments and let you decide what is best for you. The following would be true for any scientific study you wish to research.


1. Coffee causes heart disease.

2. Coffee has no effect on heart disease.

3. Coffee causes ulcers.

4. Coffee does not cause ulcers.

5. Caffeine's effects are addictive.

6. Caffeine is not addictive.

7. Pregnant women should avoid caffeine.

8. Caffeine has not effect on pregnant women.

9. Caffeine is an early risk for osteoporosis.

10. Caffeine has no relation to osteoporosis.

11. Caffeine causes cancer.

12. Caffeine does not cause cancer.

13. Caffeine adversely affects the health of children.

14. Caffeine has the same effect on children as adults.

15. Caffeine has no health benefits.

16. Caffeine is well known for helping with asthma and may be helpful in allergies.

After reading the findings of these "Scientific Studies" do you have any better understanding of whether coffee is good or bad for you? This will apply to any of the "Scientific Studies" of Pharmaceuticals, medical procedures and the other weapons the M.D. like to wield about like a light saber. All have about the same "Scientific "basis as the coffee results I've shown above.
