If
you are already holding your first coffee of the morning, you might want to put
it down .because drinking four cups a day could raise you risk of dying young,
researchers warn-but only if you are under 55.
They
found that consuming 28 cups of coffee a week increases the chances of
premature death in younger people by half. The findings come from large scale
American lifestyle study of 43,727 individuals aged 20 to87.
The
United States researchers suspected excessive coffee consumption may adversely
affect the body’s metabolism, outweighing some of the known health benefits.
Individuals with a ‘genetic coffee addiction ’may be prone to these harmful effects,
they suggest.
But
the latest study conflicts with a number of others, which have linked moderate
coffee consumption with longevity .around 2,500 deaths, were recorded over the
course of the16years study. Just under a third of these were because of heart
and artery disease.
The
risk of death from all causes rose by56 per cent for men and women younger than
55 who drank more than28 cups of coffee a week, said a report in the journal mayo clinic proceedings
Researcher
Steven Blair, of the University of South Carolina, said: “significantly the
result s did not demonstrate any association between coffee consumption and
all-cause mortality in older men and women.”
But
the researcher did not explain why coffee did not affect older people in the way.
Coffee contains thousands of different chemicals, which can have both good and
bad effects on health.
Recent
research has shown that coffee is a major dietary source of antioxidant, and it
may reduce inflammation and boost brain function.at the same time stimulates
the release of adrenaline, inhibits insulin activity, increases blood pressure,
and raises levels of homocysteine, a harmful chemical linked to heart disease
and dementia.
