Drinking coffee can be directly linked to low suicide rates.

Maybe you have seen that video floating around social media that goes “I may be depressed, but at least I got an iced coffee.” It’s a silly video, but it turns out that it is more accurate than what it initially intended.

According to a Harvard School of Public Health study, men and women who drink two to four cups of coffee per day actively reduce their risk of suicide by 50 percent! This reaction is caused by the fact that coffee (and caffeine) is similar in effect to a mild antidepressant, as it aids the production of dopamine, serotonin, and noradrenaline. The reduced production of these substances in our brains is what leads to depression and eventually to suicide.

Skin cancer? Coffee reduces the chances of getting it for women.

It sounds like drinking coffee couldn’t have such a high-stakes good reaction, but it is actually true. Following a study conducted by Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School, which lasted for 20 years, they found out that women who had about three cups of coffee a day were less likely to develop skin cancer compared to those who didn’t.

  1. The news about coffee is a surprise. I drank ice tea for years, and never took a sip of coffee. Since I met my married partner of 27 years, I drink three cups of coffee, daily. I’m feeling much better and heather than ever.

    1. I would like to know about decaf, too. Is it the coffee that helps or the caffeine? What about the caffeine in chocolate?

  2. While there may be truth to most of these claims, it is of upmost importance to know what else is in a particular type of coffee.

    For example, coffee has an affinity for the toxic mineral cadmium. Coffee is actually used to help clean up toxic waste sites, because it absorbs all of the cadmium. And it takes of cadmium from whatever soil it is grown in.

    If it is not organic coffee, then it contains harmful pesticides and herbacides.

    Certain coffees, such as Sulawesi, might get their rich, earthy flavor from lying wet and moldy for six months.

    Coffees have varying degrees of acidity, based on the variety, the roasting, and the preparation.

    I am not disputing most of the claims in this article (other than perhaps the claim that sleep deprivation is okay if coffee makes you feel wide awake and alert). However, I am suggesting that this article is unbalanced in its perspective, biased towards selling coffee.
