Science communicator and author, Dr Karl Kruszelnicki reassures us that drinking a few cups of coffee each day – minus the guilt – may actually be good for us.
“Have you ever had any friends who have ever said something along the lines of ‘gee its time to get healthy. I will give up coffee’?” Dr Karl asks SBS.
“Well coffee increases your life expectancy. Coffee improves your outcome if you have heart disease or prostate cancer. It also improves your outcome if you have tongue cancers and skin cancers.
“And yet, people believe that the best way to get healthy is to give up coffee but overwhelmingly all the studies show that it is good for your health in moderate amounts.”
