It's lovely to know that in order to be healthy, you don't necessarily need to give up everything you love in life. A little chocolate, a little red wine, and now, a little coffee is actually recommended as part of the daily diet. These factors are even more important for patients at international hospitals in Bangkok, and Thailand's cancer centers, with coffee being shown to have some curative properties for disease like cancer, stroke, Alzheimer, Parkinson's, diabetes and even cardiovascular disease. We bring together the results of studies from around the globe on coffee drinking and good health, also including some cautionary notes.
Thailand cancer centers are especially excited about the news that coffee may help protect against, as well as halt cell proliferation, in both breast and liver cancer. In Japan, researchers found that those who drink coffee are less likely to develop liver cancer than those who don't (from a 61,000 sample size).
Elsewhere, caffeic acid as well as chlorogenic acid, two compounds found in large amounts in coffee, have been shown to work together to induce the death of cancer cells and halt cell proliferation in breast cancer. There is a word of warning though - drinking milk with your coffee binds the caffeic acid, making it unavailable for use in the body.
Canadian studies have also shown that coffee is associated with a lower risk of colon cancer. It reduces the amount of time that waste material stays in the body, and therefore reduces the exposure of the sensitive gut lining to potential harmful compounds in food. The antioxidant properties of caffeic acid and chlorogenic acid that have such great effect in Thailand breast cancer patients are also known to improve the outlook for colon cancer patients. An analysis of ten European studies on bladder cancer and coffee consumption showed that for women only, there is a lower risk of developing bladder cancer for coffee drinkers.
Coffee also has a positive effect on other common conditions. Type 2 diabetes risk can be halved for men, and cut by a third for women for regular coffee drinkers. There are at least six studies that show that 80% of the Parkinson's cases that hospitals in Bangkok see could disappear, with widespread regular coffee drinking. There is preliminary evidence that suggests that even the number of asthma cases at international hospitals in Bangkok could be reduced with regular coffee intake.
The amount of coffee that is needed to obtain health benefits in various diseases is usually determined by studies. However, the overall health effect of consuming these amounts is often in dispute. Harvard researchers have shown that six cups or more for men was needed to halve the risk of developing diabetes.
However, excess coffee consumption has also been shown to increase proneness to hallucinations, and worsen sleep quality, which in turn can lead to a raft of other health problems. For women who are pregnant, even small amounts of coffee may affect the growth of their unborn children. Coffee has been known to worsen symptoms for men with poor fertility, and was recently even shown to reduce the size of women's breasts, in a UK study. Physicians at Thailand cancer centers like Bangkok and Wattanosoth Hospitals recommend that you treat a coffee regimen like beginning any other drug, and check with your doctor first.
