Link between Coffee and Multiple Sclerosis in Recent Study

There was a recent study conducted by researchers from Stockholm, Maryland and California, Berkeley, that revealed that drinking more than 900mls of coffee a day may cut the risk of suffering from Multiple Sclerosis by 30%. If you are wondering how much that is and may feel overwhelmed as well, don't worry. It is basically the same as 6 small cps or 2 large sized coffee that can be ordered in coffee shops and cafes.

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a common neurological condition. It affects people who are young--those who are in their 20s - 30s. Approximately 50 people is diagnosed each week in Britain alone. At the moment, there is an estimated 100,000 people who are suffering from the disease. It seems that the disease also affects more women than men.

MS is characterised by sight problems, loss of mobility, the feeling of tiredness and excruciating pain.

There is reportedly a chemical found in coffee that has neuroprotective properties. Aside from that, this chemical has also been shown to suppress inflammatory responses in the body.

Researchers in three locations – the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, John Hopkins University in Maryland and the University of California, Berkeley, analysed data from two studies which tracked people with and without Multiple Sclerosis. The study in Sweden involved 1,620 adults with Multiple Sclerosis and compared them to a group of 2,788 without it. The second study carried out in the US looked into 1,159 people with Multiple Sclerosis and 1,172 who were healthy.

The researchers asked their participants about their daily coffee intake and how long it has been since they have started to drink coffee. They were able to measure their results by asking their participants about their coffee habits before at and before the onset of the MS symptoms.

A recent study amongst nearly 7,000 people has revealed that drinking more than 900mls of coffee a day may cut the risk of suffering from Multiple Sclerosis by 30%. That volume can be achieved in six small cups. This may seem like a lot, but it is the equivalent to just two large sized cups of coffee, which are usually served in high street coffee shops and cafes.

The results showed that the risk of suffering from Multiple Sclerosis was consistently higher among people who drank fewer cups of coffee every day in both studies, even after taking into account other factors that might influence or skew the results. The Study in Sweden discovered that drinking coffee daily was linked to a lower risk of Multiple Sclerosis both at the beginning of the symptoms and five and ten years beforehand. Amongst those who drank more than 900mls a day there was a 28% to 30% lower risk compared with non-coffee drinkers. Similar results were revealed in the US study with a 26% to 31% lower risk among those drinking 948mls daily at least five years beforehand and at the start of the symptoms.

However, all research bodies concluded that this was just an observational study and that no firm conclusions could be drawn about cause and effect.

Avoid Paying High Sugar Tax, Buy an Espresso

There is an increasing concern with obesity in the UK. More and more children are falling into this category due to a lot of factors; one of them, the amount of sugar that they take. This is why the Government of UK has created the sugar tax.

Finally, the sugar tax is expected to be published this month. The UK Government in England has waited long enough to publish its obesity strategy, which has been in the pipeline for some time now. It was originally to be published in Autumn 2015.

At the heart of this debate is the ongoing topic of sugar tax. Health experts have been debating for a long time for it to be introduced, with the government advisory body – Public Health England, also putting a case forward for it.

The target is mainly children who consume three times as much sugar as they are supposed to. The results of this habit of children have shown that one in five children is obese by the time they finish primary school, and one in three classed as overweight.

Even though the target of this new law is children, of course, adults will also be affected. With a proposed cost increase of up to 20% on sugar-loaded food and drinks, drinking an espresso could be the healthy and cheaper option.

In the UK, the average person consumes 12 teaspoons of sugar each day with some adults consuming as much as 46! With 1 teaspoon amounting to approximately 5 grams of sugar, every time you drink a can of fizzy pop or glass of fruit juice you could be consuming up to 35 grams or 7 teaspoons alone!

When you choose black coffee or an espresso, you not only save, you are also choosing the healthy low, no-calorie option alternative because what increases the calories are the milk and sugar that is added to sweeten your coffee. A quality espresso can be hard to find, but when you do, it is usually produced by fine ground roasted coffee beans, good quality equipment, water, temperature, pressure and storage factors. Whether you purchase from a skilled barista or make your own espressos, each time you will doing a little bit to help both your body and your pocket!

By drinking espressos, you won’t just save on calories and cost, but you will also be helping to reduce your future risk of suffering from diabetes, heart disease and cancer too.

Espresso coffee + water = virtually calorie and tax-free!
