In a study of 4641 people who drank 3 cups of coffee or less each day only 0.4% had
rheumatoid arthritis whereas 0.8% of 14,340 people drinking 4 or more cups had developed the disease. Markku Heliovaara, National Public Health Ins., Helsinki, Annals of Rheumatoid Arthritis. 8-2000.

THE EVILS OF DRINKING COFFEE:

1. Oils in unfiltered coffee can raise cholesterol levels.
2. There is a coffee homocysteine (HCY) link.
3. There is no decaffeinated coffee HCY link.
4. This seems to imply a caffeine effect but no tea HCY link has been found.
5. Blood levels of HCY are usually controlled by B-6, B-12 and folic acid. However, the additive effect of coffee and smoking increases HCY levels.
6. HCY damages arteries and as such is a potent cardio-vascular risk factor.
7. Heart attack risk increases with coffee use.

HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR ODDS:

1. Supplement your diet with vitamins B-1, B-6, B-12, folic acid, inositol and vitamin C.
2. Reduce your consumption of coffee if possible.
3. Monitor your HCY level to determine an allowable level of coffee consumption, and while you're at it check your folate and B-12 blood levels.

Coffee reported to reduce risk of gallstones in man. In a 10 year study of 46,000 men, age 40 to 75, those who drank 2 to 3 cups of coffee, (instant, espresso, regular, filtered) a day reduced risk 30 to 40 percent while those who drank 4 or more cups a day cut their risk in half. Dr. W. C. Willett, Harvard School of Pubic Health, Boston, Journal of American Medical Association: 6-9-99

Are there any women in Boston who drink coffee?
