And a group of medical "researchers" were kind enough to provide it. It seems that a group of psychiatrists have discovered that coffee will not cure (and probably won't prevent) most major diseases. Yep, you read that correctly. A group of psychiatrists from several countries put their heads together and sent questionnaires to patients who had any of several major diseases, apparently to discover whether the patients developed these diseases despite drinking coffee, and/or presumably to discover whether coffee was an effective treatment for said diseases. They (in the words of the article at the link below) "analysed [
sic] the impact of habituated coffee consumption on type-2 diabetes, ischemic heart disease, depression and Alzheimer’s disease", and reached the conclusion that coffee will not cure those diseases. What a surprise! Why they thought that coffee might have such potential is beyond me. I can't help but wonder how much time and money they wasted on that study.
I reckon I'll always be an ignorant old country boy because I fail to see any real significance in the findings of the study, apparently because I'm too dumb to appreciate the importance of this "discovery", and I fail to see any value in this statement from the article:
Dr Sagar Mundada, MD psychiatry, KEM Hospital, Parel, said that the results of all the trials and its connection are path breaking.
Coffee has no positive impact on physical or mental ailments: Study
I'm not sure which path those guys broke (I'm thinking maybe the path to absurdity), but IMO they should stick to psychiatry stuff and leave the real disease studies to researchers who live in the real world.
And whoever wrote that article was so creative that they were able to take research claims about 4 diseases and miraculously extrapolate the data so that it applied to all diseases (as claimed in the title):
Coffee has no positive impact on physical or mental ailments
