In the 1970s, a study says the fans of coffee at high risk of heart attack. However, the conclusion was disputed by other studies that indicate otherwise. Unfortunately, the study was criticized because its scale is too small.
To respond to concerns of coffee lovers, researchers from Harvard School of Public Health to make research on coffee consumption involving 45,000 men. The results of their analysis, published in the New England Journal of Medicine concluded in 1990, coffee habits do not affect the risk of heart disease or stroke.
Other studies about coffee and health continue to follow. The latest is a study by a team from Japan to the 81,000 men and women. Known, those who drank one or two cups of coffee daily the risk of cardiovascular disease fell to 23 percent.
"Various studies do mention the coffee is not harmful, even healthier. But that does not prove a causal relationship because of the coffee drinkers and coffee fans are not very different," said Dr.Nersen Sanossian, professor of neurology at UCLA.
The differences are such as exercise habits, smoking, or other living patterns.
Although the coffee fairly safe, but not recommended for those who are not fans of coffee and then switched to coffee to prevent stroke.
"In some people, coffee can cause heart rhythm disturbances and the emerging effects of addiction on other people. People who are accustomed to drinking coffee with cream and sugar will also not receive health benefits," said Mark Urman, a cardiologist at Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute.
Previous studies mentioned that coffee consumption effectively cope with various chronic diseases. However, to achieve the intended benefits, coffee consumption should not be arbitrary and must be of good quality and original.
Surip Mawardi, coffee and cocoa Indonesian researchers on the sidelines of the International Conference on Coffee Science, 2010 in Nusa Dua Bali states, based on the results of a recent study, coffee can overcome various kinds of diseases such as diabetes, coronary heart disease and even bowel cancer.
From the latest research results, he added, also revealed that drinking coffee lifetime provide a neutralizing effect on heart health for coffee drinkers.

It is said, the results also showed that the level of coffee consumption does not alter the risk of developing coronary heart disease. "Even with consuming less than two cups of coffee per day can reduce the pain of coronary heart disease," he explained.
The result of the study, said Surip, can confront the allegations that had been considered that drinking coffee harmful to health, especially heart and cardiovascular system.
On the other hand, Surip said a common approach to the study conducted by researchers are studying the effect of a single component in coffee health coffee drinkers. Then they draw conclusions from data obtained using the single compound.
Keep in mind, he continued, coffee is a beverage containing compounds that are very complex, consisting of more than 800 different components and interact with each other in this type of compound that stands alone.
"Currently, many medical and scientific evidence supporting the conclusion that drinking coffee with a normal portion between two to four cups per day with the content of caffeine to 100 milligrams per cup, is part of a balanced diet," he said.
He added, with coffee consumption in the dose that is safe and no adverse impact on human health.
Especially for you ladies, coffee could be brought huge benefits to the health of reproductive organs.

The experts from the Japan National Cancer Center divided the women into four groups based on their level of coffee consumption. During the study, there were around 117 women had positive cervical cancer.
The results found that women who drank more than three cups of coffee a day carrying 60 percent risk of ovarian cancer are less likely than those who drank coffee less than twice a week.
"Coffee can cause insulin levels suppress the effect, so that may be able to reduce the risk of womb cancer," researchers said in their report.
In addition to examining coffee consumption, the research team also reviewed the effects of green tea against cervical cancer. But they found no association between green tea with a reduced risk of uterine cancer.
Cervical cancer is cancer that occurs in the lining of the endometrium (uterine cervix), which is an area in which the female reproductive organ is the entrance to the uterus located between the womb (uterus) with a hole intercourse (vagina).
Cervical cancer usually occurs after menopause, most often in women aged 50-60 years. But cervical cancer can affect any woman aged 20 to 30 years. For older patients, they are more likely to die from this disease, due to their disease stage was higher.
