82mg per coffee a day? Does that sound right??

One wonders how the colonoscopy affected their colonies given their bacteria were possibly all washed out by the prep solution.

What a weird study.

Agree, it will never meet the definition of "scientific," it has a ton of flaws as reported...which report does not include a whole lot. I don't have a colon cleanout frequently with my coffee, in fact having had two I can safely say you couldn't pay me to have one, and just what sort of person volunteers for a colonoscopy, does their microbiome differ from people who do not like them? How did they locate their sample, folks out in the hall or what? I once stayed in Waco (Baylor), did you know there are a whole lot of Southern Baptists and cockroaches in that town? Could those be relevant variables? How were they ruled out?

And for that matter how in the world does one select and then establish intake of exactly more than, or less than, 82,5mg without even defining and then controlling any of 100 variables needing to be standard and controlled, then also of brand, dose, roast, preparation method, timing, other food consumption, length of exposure, substitute the word "caffeine" in the intro for what it then reports as caffeine PLUS coffee, PLUS included a host of indiscriminate polyphenols, (which you do still get in decaffeinated coffee by the way) a hundred variable topics each with a dozen imputed variables, etc etc etc. Did you know tea has caffeine, more per unit of weight than coffee? Why no tea? A lot of people buy coffee from Bosnia, it's prominently shelved in Walmart, lot of Walmarts in Texas, right next to the coffee from some place in South America and Africa (of course, what's a whole continent, surely there are only one or two places they grow coffee there). Ok, there really are only any more arabica beans, but given that one thing, how would you know if nothing else matters? Meanwhile, hasn't coffee and caffeine been studied to death in the last 40 years?

However, it's an interesting start, kind of fun. And a fun way to get some publicity while chatting with other doctors over coffee.

Tee hee!😁😁

82.5 mg is so tiny if they are talking about the amount of coffee. Just the tip of a spatula. Or are they talking about caffeine? Doesn’t say anything about caffeine but it makes more sense.

The first I heard about this was on our local news a few years ago; they also said Scotch helps in slowing onset. I'm a new pipe smoker and nicotine is beneficial for dementia, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, bipolar... However, today's society only see nicotine as evil and addictive.

Well, on the scotch, sharoncrayn has already pointed out the risk to mitochondria and its DNA and you know what, I did a week of looking through the papers and it certainly burst my bubble. Now I see why she was rather stern. No more jokes about it for sure.

Too many variables in the study, I agree, that they wiped the gut, how does that help anything? I do know that coffee enemas are widely used and said to be very beneficial, I prefer to drink it but do both.

I'm sorry, coffee enemas? Sounds like a South Park episode I once saw.

Coffee stimulates the lower gut and parasites hate it, at least the coffee smells good, at first

Cream and sugar with that?

This is about the 10th article I've read extolling the benefits of coffee. Only problem is it's addictive. Every spring I try to stop coffee cold turkey. And for a solid week I'm a walking zombie, falling asleep in my oatmeal, dealing with a vicious headache that nothing will help. And then I'm cured and vow never to touch the stuff again. That ends once winter cold returns.

I mostly drink a good quality, organic and water processed decaf. I can't tell the difference. Regular decaf uses chemicals to process out the caffeine. I never have a problem if I go off of it for a week or so when I need to.
