Coffee is one of the most popular beverages in the world. There are about 2.5 billion cups of coffee consumed every day. Many studies have listed the endless benefits that coffee has in our body, but also the harms that its excessive use brings.
Coffee can be a risk for some categories of people such as pregnant mothers or children, who are prohibited from using caffeine in high doses. A recent report by the IARC last year found that very hot drinks - coffee or tea - are a possible cause of cancer of the esophagus (the tube that goes from the throat to the stomach).
Experts attract attention
Experts who have not been involved in recent studies require care in interpreting the results.
The European study excluded people who were affected by cancer, heart disease or diabetes. For example, the age group over 35 was taken, who enjoy full health.
However, amid much debate over age groups or the impact that coffee has on heart patients, experts agree on one point: a third cup a day should be added. David Spiegelhalter, a professor at Cambridge University, after studying several categories, concluded that people who reduced their coffee during the time they were involved in the study had various health problems, but were still unable to prove the cause. and the effect of coffee.
" An extra cup of coffee every day can extend the average life of a man for about three months and the life of a woman for about a month," adds Spiegelhalter after the study.
