In the fast-paced modern life, coffee is like a clear stream, it can not only refresh the mind, but also add a little romance and style to life. However, the controversy about coffee and health has always existed, and opinions have been varied. Recently, five authoritative institutions, including the Kexin Food and Health Information Exchange Center and the National Institute of Nutrition and Health of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, jointly released the Scientific Consensus on Coffee and Health (2024), which reveals the true relationship between coffee and health. As a professional manufacturer of bone densitometer, today we will interpret the key information in this "Consensus" for you from the perspective of bone health.
Moderate drinking, safe and healthy
The Consensus clearly states that moderate coffee consumption is safe and beneficial to health. This conclusion is supported by dietary guidelines and recommendations in several countries and regions, including the United States, Australia, New Zealand, and Switzerland. But what exactly is "right"? For healthy adults, it is best to limit caffeine intake to less than 400 mg per day, which is about 3-5 cups of coffee. However, please note that there is no uniform standard for "cups" here, so this recommendation is for reference only. Although coffee itself does not directly affect the bones, studies have shown that excessive caffeine consumption does increase the risk of osteoporosis, so it is important to be careful to control your intake to protect your bone health.
Caffeine: It's not just in coffee
It's important to note that caffeine isn't just found in coffee. Some carbonated drinks, energy drinks and ready-made drinks (such as milk tea) also contain more caffeine. Therefore, when choosing a drink, be sure to pay attention to its caffeine content to avoid excessive intake.
Reassure the public
In response to the general concerns of the public about "coffee carcinogenesis" and "caffeine addiction", the Consensus also gave a clear answer. A comprehensive review by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, based on thousands of studies, concluded that there is insufficient evidence that coffee increases the risk of cancer in humans. On the contrary, there is strong evidence that coffee reduces the risk of liver and endometrial cancer. This conclusion undoubtedly provides strong support for coffee lovers.
As for the issue of "caffeine addiction," current scientific evidence does not support this claim. If people who are used to drinking coffee stop drinking coffee, they may have headaches, fatigue, mood swings and other phenomena. But these discomforts are not a sign of addiction, but rather a result of the body's adaptation to caffeine. By gradually reducing caffeine intake, these discomfort can be effectively alleviated.
"Consensus" also specifically addresses the public's concerns about "whether coffee causes cancer" and "whether caffeine is addictive." According to a comprehensive review of numerous studies by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, there is currently no sufficient evidence that coffee raises the risk of cancer in humans. As for "caffeine addiction," the scientific evidence doesn't support it either. People who are used to drinking coffee may experience discomfort if they suddenly stop drinking, but this is not addiction, but the body's adaptation to caffeine. These symptoms can be alleviated by gradually reducing caffeine intake.
