Coffee Can't Catch A Break

Coffee, like booze, seems to go in and out of favor with medical researchers who can't seem to make up their minds whether these things are good or bad for your body.

This week coffee is back on the back burner again. 

Professor Kevin Croft, of the University of Western Australia found over-consumption (5 cups or more) of chlorogenic acid (CGA) could prevent fat loss and lead to insulin resistance. Translated? At five cups coffee makes you dumpy and diabetic.

CGAs are also found in tea, plums and pomegranates.

'It seems that the health effects are dose-dependent. A moderate intake of coffee, up to three to four cups a day still seems to decrease the risk of developing diseases such as cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes,' Croft summarized.

A related study published in the European Journal of Neurology found that coffee drinkers can cut their risks of dementia by 60%, and lower their risk of Parkinson's by 60%.

So more is less and a little is just lovely. Sorta like how everything else works in life.
