Is coffee really good for us?

Who has not been awakened in the morning by the delicious aroma of coffee and after drinking a cup, their day started with more enthusiasm?
Who has not heard the phrase, see you tomorrow to talk and have a cup of coffee or has asked mom to come and prepare a thermos of coffee because you have a test tomorrow.
Well, I guess I'm not the only one who has ever experienced those moments in life.
Then came the bad news, uninformed people or inconclusive studies on this wonderful drink, and obviously we start consuming it with that in mind, "Well, if I'm going to die of something, at least I know it will be because of the coffee."
Too bad we have blamed this drink for many illnesses such as growth retardation, cardiovascular problems, hyperactivity, and even cancer.
Well, guess what? We were misinformed because coffee is not bad, but beneficial.
Recent researches have shown the opposite, the consumption is more beneficial than harmful. The results indicate that this surprising finding about coffee is not harmful after all.
All these studies didn’t indicate a link between coffee and the risk of cancer or cardiovascular disease. On the contrary, these studies found a link between coffee consumption and a marked decrease in mortality and especially cardiovascular mortality. But as you know, the excesses are not good, especially among young adults taking too many cups of coffee on a daily basis.
What made ​​us change our mind about coffee? Early studies did not consider the association of other agents independently and included the use of cigarettes, alcohol and physical inactivity as factors in coffee drinkers, of course that was incorrect and biased.
Studies have found that coffee has many health benefits, including preventing Parkinson's disease, Type 2 Diabetes, liver disease, (liver cancer). And we don’t forget the psychologist; it is also beneficial in the cognition process and depression.
But no offense to our Italian friends, research indicates that there are some risks, such as consuming "espresso", which has been linked to high cholesterol levels. Also avoid excessive consumption because other studies found that drinking two or more large cups of coffee a day, it can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, particularly in people with a specific genetic mutation that causes the breakdown of caffeine in the body. In another words, the speed at which our body metabolizes coffee can affect our health.
But not all that shines is gold (joke: "Coffee is black," what a discovery), we must take into account the elements around the coffee, such as sugar, milk, cream, juices, fruits, or a Delicious Donuts, which may affect our health, but please do not throw the blame to the coffee if you add other fatty foods and calories to yours mornings. If you drink coffee take it with sugar substitutes and forget, please, of the macho phrase: "I am like the coffee, sweet and strong”, because sweet becomes in Diabetes and strong in a massive heart attack.
