I think there are some pretty good points relating to this topic, I very much agree that moderation is key and in it's proper time and place. Recently - within the last 5 years or so, that, prior to recent research findings coffee was being dragged through mud for it's so called 'detrimental health effects' and being linked to numerous health issues, worldwide some doctors, naturopaths, nutritionist and so on were strongly advising patients against drinking coffee. This didn't help the situation, and now the position is reversed. I don't blame you for concern but I wouldn't rely too much on one report and given the tendency for sudden change in position regarding these sorts of topics. 🙂 They have however been recent findings that supposedly links coffee to reducing the risk of cancer, the WHO recently removed coffee from it's list of 'possible carcinogens'. So current evidence actually points to the opposite findings from findings of recent past research. As you know there are many different types of coffee available out there varying in quality of seed, land and farming practice, even the roasting degree would alter an outcome. In the case of supermarket coffee according to me being carbon in a cup. This would affect the quality of product you have which would then act differently in the body. In any research there are a million factors to look into that can alter the outcome and in the results posted; sample size, environmental conditions, predispositions of the individual sample, product used, delivery method, what the study actually targets vs what is reported, accuracy of equipment used, which study actually gets published, funding ect... the list goes on. I am sure we can find plausible reasoning for both cases but I think a little research into food production and agri practices mixed with our own common sense would indicate that quality in coffee makes a difference in the final product we consume ...... After all, maybe we missed the little astrix * down the bottom of the link between coffee and cancer research saying 'Blend 42+1 was the coffee used in this study'. 😉 What was the program you were referring to Fresh Coffee, interested in watching it?
