    Coffee may Improve Athletic Endurance Performance

    Coffee may improve athletic endurance performance, review finds

    “Previous research has focused on caffeine itself as an aid to improve endurance,” Higgins said. “Coffee is a popular source of caffeine, so this paper looked at the research surrounding its ergogenic benefits.”

    More than 600 scholarly articles were screened for those that focused only on caffeinated-coffee conditions, measured the caffeine dose and measured an endurance performance. Of these, 9 randomized control trials specifically used coffee to improve endurance.

    Looking at the 9 trials, Higgins found that between 3 and 7 mg/kg of body weight of caffeine from coffee increased endurance performance by an average of 24%...

    Moderate coffee drinking may be linked to reduced risk of death

    November 17, 2015, Categories  Biology/Biotechnology, Health/Medical

    People who regularly drank moderate amounts of coffee daily --less than 5 cups per day -- experienced a lower risk of deaths from cardiovascular disease, neurological diseases, Type 2 diabetes and suicide. The benefit held true for drinking caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee, suggesting it's not just the caffeine providing health perks but possibly the naturally occurring chemical compounds in the coffee beans.

    Drinking a second or third cup of coffee may do more than get you through a long day – it may also reduce your risk of death from heart disease and other illnesses.

    In a study reported in the American Heart Association journal Circulation, people who regularly drank moderate amounts of coffee daily, less than 5 cups per day – experienced...

    Coffee Drinking Tied to Reduced Risk of Colon Cancer Recurrence, but Don’t Pour a Cup Just Yet

    August 17, 2015, Categories  Biology/Biotechnology, Health/Medical

    Colon cancer patients who were heavy coffee drinkers had a far lower risk of dying or having their cancer return than those who did not drink coffee, with significant benefits starting at two to three cups a day. Patients who drank four cups of caffeinated coffee or more a day had half the rate of recurrence or death than noncoffee drinkers.

    But, the researchers caution, cancer patients should not start ordering extra tall coffees. The study, the first to report such findings, does not prove a cause-and-effect relationship between coffee drinking and a lower risk of colon cancer recurrence. As other experts note, there may be differences between heavy coffee drinkers and abstainers that the research was not able to account for.

    In recent years, many studies have pointed to coffee’s health...
