Not really, the Food for Life book is really good at explaining it. More fibre than a banana, good for cardio, decent for diabetes. The idea it's bad was something propagated by the health drinks industry - get folk drinking crap like smoothies and sugery orange juice to start the day.

Not in Crawley Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Here's a decent review; https://www.theguardian.com/books/2022/nov/03/food-for-life-by-tim-spector-review-the-science-of-eating-well Fermentation is the key to your good gut stuff. Kombucha is another good healthy drink for that reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lobbypond Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Re-Tate I'd never heard of him until he first got "cancelled" checked a few of his interviews/podcasts and he seemed like a ridiculously over the top comedy act -do people actually take this shit seriously or is it some 3d chess troll stuff.

So it does cause Restlessness and shakiness Insomnia Headaches Dizziness Fast heart rate Dehydration Anxiety Dependency, so you need to take more of it to get the same results That may well be extreme, but apparently over 400ml a day is not good for you. That just a bit more than a coke can or whatever size it comes in at Costa Bet loads of people hit that before midday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coffee is a very good drink for health benefits. A lot of that is as I say propagated by the health drinks industry and isn't much backed up by nutritional evidence. I normally have three cups a day, 4-5 green teas and fizzy water if I just want a cold drink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted January 3, 2023 Site Supporter Share Posted January 3, 2023 I do quite like a coffee, but just don't drink much. I also have decaff at home, as I don't want the caffeine effects on sleep. Like anything, there may well be health benefits, but overdo it, and the negatives start to have an impact. If I want a raised heart rate, I'll do some exercise etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
