The Coffee Cup

Have you heard the news? Coffee has antioxidants! Antioxidants have been studied widely. The evidence available today shows that antioxidants may delay aging and protects the body against the development of age-related diseases. If you read any medical articles concerning these studies and you are not the medical field, most likely you will get lost inside information. This is a problem in believing that some foods containing antioxidants are good for you begins. A very interesting study carried out for coffee and the antioxidant benefits which can be obtained if swallowed. The article was very long and had a lot of medical terms and references therein. What was the result showed that antioxidants found in coffee, when beans were heated and processed, the benefits can be achieved when you drink it, is impaired. This is easier to understand when you can reflect on how the test was done. Using lab rats to test the effects of antioxidants in coffee are misleading. Especially when the coffee was not only the foundation and processed in the normal human way in which we place the grounds in a coffee pot and run hot water over it results in a pot of hot liquid which of course coffee. testing in the lab involved breaking down the coffee beans into different parts. For example, the shell was removed from the coffee beans and tested the amount of antioxidants in it. Why would they do this, you might wonder? Well, the skin where the highest amount of antioxidants available. Yet we must ask ourselves the question “Who are drinking only the skin of the coffee bean?” Another problem with thinking any positive result meant that the coffee is good for us is the fact that after the coffee is brewed, it loses much of antioxidants by heat. After testing coffee in various forms and breaking it up into several parts, at the end of an extremely long description of medical conditions and challenging data, it became clear that laboratory tests do not in fact prove that coffee have no antioxidant benefits when consumed as a warm stimulating drink. indeed the end of this article, the bottom line was that there was no evidence that coffee was good for us because of any substantial part of antioxidants by brewing. So, is The bottom line here. . . Rumors can start very quickly and be thought of as fact if we do our own research.
