El café: más beneficos efectos en la salud de los que se creía

No solo es una bebida deliciosa, sino que previene de graves enfermedades incurables, como el Parkinson y la diabetes tipo 2. Y es el café tiene gran cantidad de antioxidantes, muchos más que el famoso té verde. Así que ya lo saben tomen café, pero que sea descafeinado, solo así sus propiedades preventivas perduran. Copio del blog de Andrew Sullivan:

Relax - no real side-effects in moderation and considerable benefits:

Recent disease-related findings can only add to coffee’s popularity. A review of 13 studies found that people who drank caffeinated coffee, but not decaf, had a 30 percent lower risk of Parkinson’s disease.

Another review found that compared with noncoffee drinkers, people who drank four to six cups of coffee a day, with or without caffeine, had a 28 percent lower risk of Type 2 diabetes. This benefit probably comes from coffee’s antioxidants and chlorogenic acid.
