Food Therapy: Caffeinated and Decaffeinated Coffee in Lower Risk of Mortality in Chronic illness Patients, excluding Cancers

By Kyle J. Norton

Regular consumption of caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee may prolong total mortality rate on chronic illness patients excluding cancers, a study by renowned institute suggested.

Coffee, becoming a popular and social beverage all over the world, particular in the West, is a drink made from roast bean from the Coffea plant, native to tropical Africa and Madagascar.

The review of literature using the databases of PubMed and EMBASE databases to search all articles published through June 2013, produced twenty studies of coffee consumption and total mortality, including 129,538 cases of deaths among the 973,904 participants met the guidelines, researchers at the Kyung Hee University, filed the following reports
1. The Relative risk ratio(RR) of total mortality for the high v. low category of coffee consumption was 0.86 in compared to .95 of the base line
2. The relative risk ratio was similar to The pool of ≥ 2-4 cups/d and ≥ 5-9 cups/d
3. Coffee consumption showed a strongly inverse association to risk of total motility expression in Japanese and European studies in compared to studies in US.
4, Risk of motility showed no gender difference
5. Both moderated caffeine coffee and decaffeinated coffee expressed an inverse association in lower risk of death.

Regardless to types of chronic illness, coffee displayed a significant value in a reduced risk of total mortality.

Furthermore, in review of associations of consumption of total, caffeinated, and decaffeinated coffee with risk of subsequent total and cause-specific mortality among 74,890 women in the Nurses' Health Study (NHS), 93,054 women in the Nurses' Health Study II, and 40,557 men in the Health Professionals Follow-up Study, after reading the returned semiquantitative food frequency questionnaire, researchers suggested that
1. Consumption of total, caffeinated, and decaffeinated coffee were associated to reduced risk of mortality, nonlinearly.
2. Coffee intake of 1 to 5 cups per day expressed a strong effect in lower risk of mortality in compared to non coffee drinking group
3. Coffee consumption of more than 5 cups per day was associated with reduced risk of mortality.
4. Caffeinated coffee and decaffeinated coffee displayed a similarly significant inverse associations in risk of motility.
5. More importantly, coffee consumption exhibited a enormous effect in reduced deaths attributed to cardiovascular disease, neurologic diseases, and suicide but not in cancer patients.

Dr.Ding M , the lead author said, "when restricting to never smokers compared with nondrinkers, the hazard ratios of mortality were 0.94 for 1.0 or less cup per day, 0.92 for 1.1 to 3.0 cups per day, 0.85 for 3.1 to 5.0 cup per day, and 0.88 for more than 5.0 cup per day".

Interestingly, in this restriction, numbers of cup intake daily were associated linearly to lower risk of total motility in compared to non linearly in other group.

In support to the above differentiation, the Brigham and Women's Hospital study to assess of the association between coffee consumption and mortality from cardiovascular disease (CVD), cancer, and all causes during 18 years of follow-up in men and 24 years of follow-up in women, filed the the following results

1. After adjustment for age, smoking, and other CVD and cancer risk factors, coffee intake showed a moderated effect in lower on all-cause and CVD in both gender but no statistically significantly associated with risk for cancer death

2. Caffeine was not associated to risk of motility

Taking altogether, caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee showed a profound and positive effect in lower risk of motility linearly and nonlinearly in chronic illness other than cancers, depending to other risk factors and group selection.

Intake of dried pea and bean fibers daily and regularly may reduce risk and treatment of hypertension, a respectable medical service study suggested.

Dried pea is a small but nutritionally mighty member of the legume family, genus Pisum belongings to the family Fabaceae with healthy source of proteins, fibers, vitamins and minerals.

According to the Veterans' Affairs Medical Center, daily intake of fiber has emerged not only to prevent and treat various types of chronic diseases.but also reduced risk of hypertension.

Dr. Anderson JW, the led author said, "Dried beans, oat products, and certain fruits and vegetables are good sources of soluble fiber" and "Current guidelines advise a doubling of dietary fiber intake for Americans. Inclusion of ample servings of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and dried beans and peas will help individuals meet these guidelines".

Additionally, in the examined iineralocorticoid excess-treated mice with a control diet, high-fiber diet, or acetate supplementation researcher found that high fiber diet not only modified the gut microbiota populations and also increased the abundance of acetate-producing bacteria independently of mineralocorticoid excess and reduced systolic and diastolic blood pressures.

Dr. Marques FZ, the led researcher said, "The favorable effects of fiber may be explained by the generation and distribution of one of the main metabolites of the gut microbiota, the short-chain fatty acid acetate. Acetate effected several molecular changes associated with improved cardiovascular health and function."

These result demonstrated a significant effect of fibers intake in promoted health gut microbiota in regulating molecular changes associated with improved risk factor related to cardiovascular health and function, including blood pressure.

Other, in the examined cross-sectional studies of dietary intake as one of the major determinants in hypertension development and Dietary Approach to Stop Hypertension and the risk of incident hypertension in a large cohort study including incidence of hypertension among 80 426 French adults, researchers at the joint study led by the Paris-Descartes University found that
1. During a mean follow-up of 3.4±2.1 years, 2413 cases of incident hypertension were documented
2. Fiber intake displayed a strong effect in reduced risk of hypertension with relative odd risk of 0.81 in compared to the baseline.
3. Adopting a global healthy diet associated to several nutritional factors intake may be one of the best solution in reduced hypertensive incidence

Taking altogether, dried peas and beans fibers accompanied with adequate intake of marco nutrients and reduced intake red and processed meat may form a daily diet in reduced risk of hypertension

Food Therapy: Black Bean, Reduced Risk and Treatment of Colitis

Kyle J. Norton

People who turn to alternative medicine for treatment of disease in avoidance of adverse effects induced by conventional medicine should be patient. In compared to herbal medicine; food therapy even takes longer than six months to ease symptoms, depending to stages of the treatment which directly address to the cause of disease.

Black bean with abundant chemical constituents and fiber may be considered as function foods for prevention and treatment of colitis, a renowned institute indicated.

Colitis is medical condition of inflammation of the inner lining of the colon.

Black bean, a small roughly ovoid legume with glossy black shells, genus Phaseolus, belongings to the family Fabaceae can be bought in most grocery stores all around the year in dried and canned forms. It is believed that black bean was first domesticated growth in South America.

According to the joint study lead by the University of Guelph, in vivo, cooked whole-bean flours, with differing phenolic compound levels and profiles, showed a completed inhibition of colitis in a mouse model.

In C57BL/6 mice fed a 20 % navy bean or black bean flour-containing diet or an isoenergetic basal diet (BD) for 2 weeks before the induction of experimental colitis via 7 d dextran sodium sulphate (DSS, 2 % (w/v) in the drinking-water) exposure, coincidentally, both groups exerted similarly a beneficial and adverse effects in induced locally and systemically while aggravating colonic mucosal damage with unknown identity and systemic inflammation.

In bean treatment group, the efficacy in ameliorated colitis may be a result of the inhibition of pro inflammatory expression, such as colonic inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-9, IFN-γ and IL-17A) and increased anti-inflammatory IL-10.

In mice with colon inflammation triggered by high-fat diet (HD)-induced obesity, injection of black bean expressed a significant decreased the concentrations of lipid and various circulating proinflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-1β, and IL-6 in mice with HD-induced obesity, in attenuated change associated to colon inflammation.

Furthermore, mice treated with black bean also improved antioxidant status in reduced progression
of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in induction of oxidative stress.

Dr. Yook JS, the lead researchers said, "BAB ameliorates HD-induced disorders such as obesity and colitis by improving mucosal barrier protection and reducing endotoxemia, as well as by inactivating NF-κB to decrease the production of proinflammatory cytokines".

Taken together, black bean may be considered as a functional diet in reduced risk of colitis in high risk healthy subjects and treatment of patients with colitis with little or no adverse effects.

Food Therapy: Coffee and Coffee Caffeine In Reduced Risk Of Thyroid Cancer?

Epidemiological studies, linking coffee and coffee caffeine intake in prevalence of thyroid cancer incidence have been contradictory and inconclusive.

Thyroid cancer is a chronic condition of irregular cell growth in the thyroid gland.

Coffee, a popular and social beverage all over the world, particularly in the West, is a drink made from roast bean from the Coffea plant, native to tropical Africa and Madagascar.

In the review of database from Published studies in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Central, and the reference lists of the retrieved articles to evaluate the association between coffee consumption and the risk of thyroid cancer, researchers at the joint study lead by the Chosun University, filed the following results.
1. In a total of 1039 thyroid cancer cases and 220,816 controls were identified from five case-control studies and two cohort studies, the relative risk ratio of cancer incidence was was 0.88 in compared to base line.
2. Risk of thyroid cancer was reduced significantly only in hospital-based case-control studies.

Dr. Han MA, the head researcher said, "There was no significant association between coffee consumption and thyroid cancer risk according to our meta-analysis results" and "There was no significant heterogeneity among the study results".

Other, in the analyzed data from a prospective cohort (100,507 persons (48,802 men; 51,705 women) aged 40-69) between green tea and coffee consumption and risk of thyroid cancer, assessed via a self-administered questionnaire, researchers at the National Cancer Center found no association between coffee intake and risk of thyroid cancer regardless to gender and amount of coffee intake per day.

Furthermore, in the pool sample consisted of 2725 thyroid cancer cases (2247 females, 478 males) and 4776 controls (3699 females, 1077 males), through intensive analysis of 14 case-control studies conducted in the United States, Europe, and Asia suggested that risk of thyroid cancer is not associated to coffee consumption, independent to gender difference.

The study also emphasized that even taking into account of other factors, caffeinated beverages did not alter thyroid cancer risk.

Contrastively, according to Aretaieion University Hospital, in a case-control, serially matched study containing 70 patients with thyroid cancer, 55 with benign thyroid disease and 71 controls, there were significantly reduced risk of thyroid disease among coffee and coffee caffeine drinkers. Even after adjustment for possible confounding variables, the association remained statistically significant

Dr. Linos A, the lead author said, " The mechanism by which coffee consumption may play a protective role against development of benign or malignant thyroid neoplasms may be the stimulatory effect of caffeine on the intracellular cyclic AMP production, which is known to inhibit cell growth".

Taking altogether, the contradict results may warrant a large sample size and cohost studies before researchers can make a decision between coffee and coffee caffeine intake and risk of thyroid cancer.

Food therapy: Coffee in Reduced risk of Respiratory Diseases?

By Kyle J. Norton

Intake of coffee and coffee caffeine may have a potential effect in reduced risk and progression of respiratory disease, a renowned university study suggested.

Coffee, becoming a popular and social beverage all over the world, particularly in the West, is a drink made from roast bean from the Coffea plant, native to tropical Africa and Madagascar.

Respiratory disease is a class of diseases involved abnormal lung function including conditions of the upper trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli, pleura and pleural cavity,....

In review of 15 studies, including seven cohorts, six cross-sectionals, one case control and one randomized control trial, researchers at the joint study lead by the University of Coimbra, filed the below interesting results1. Risk of asthma was reduced in coffee injection group.
2. Coffee accompanied with honey displayed a positive effect in treatment for persistent post-infectious cough.
3. In control study, the higher risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD) prevalence was associated to coffee consumption.4. Coffee was also found to associate to lower respiratory mortality.
5. Coffee injection group also benefit to improved lung function
6. Smoking was a significant risk factor in all cases.

With all the information collected, Dr. Alfaro TM, the lead authors proposed, "Coffee consumption was associated with some positive effects on the respiratory system" and "coffee consumption may be a part of a healthy lifestyle leading to reduced respiratory morbidity."

Other, in the study filed by the CHU de Nancy, coffee consumption showed a contradictory effect involving respiratory diseases.
1. Coffee intake showed a beneficial effect on bronchospasm.
2. But on other studies, coffee intake has been suspected of contributing to the development of chronic airflow obstruction (COPD) and bronchial cancer.

The study explained, these contrastive results may be attributed to the causal relationship in indirectly linking strong positive correlation between the consumption of coffee and use of tobacco.

The author also warmed that coffee taken in large quantities by pregnant women, may increase risk of neonatal apnoea in the newborn, if abrupt cessation in the caffeine level.

Also in the comparison of the prenatal exposure to acetaminophen and coffee with childhood asthma, researchers found that intake of coffee during pregnancy showed a strong effect in reduced risk of childhood asthma, according to the 63,652 live-born singletons enrolled in the Danish National Birth Cohort.

Taking together, coffee intake have a strong protection against respiratory diseases(including reduced risk of childhood asthma), but increased incidences of chronic airflow obstruction (COPD), and bronchial cancer, therefore, people with above exceptive disease should reduced intake of coffee and consult with their doctors.

Food therapy: Coffee Caffeine In Risk of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus in Women with Mutation of Gene NAT2

Kyle J. Norton

Whole food ingredients in herbal plant have been found to process some significant effects in reduced risk and treatment of various diseases, but single ingredient isolated from such plants may induce opposite responses.

Intake of coffee caffeine daily has induced conflicted results in risk of auto immune disease, systemic lupus erythematosus epidemiological studies suggested.

In the assessment of 152 SLE cases and 427 healthy controls, in Japanese women in testing the interaction of NAT2 polymorphism, acting primarily in the liver to detoxify a large number of chemicals including caffeine and consumption of beverages, researchers found that coffee with a relative risk of 1.57 showed a significant increased risk of SLE,

Mutation of gene NAT2, involved in the metabolism of several compounds relevant in pharmacology or toxicology showed a direct effect in significantly modified alcohol use and black tea consumption on SLE, but not in coffee.

These findings suggested that certain beverages may have an implication in elevated gene change in risk of systemic lupus erythematosus, such as alcohol in reduced but black tea in increased risk of systemic lupus erythematosus.

Other, in the evaluated possibility of environmental lupus erythematosus provocative substances eliminated by acetylation in 36 Chinese women with mild, stable, and confirmed lupus erythematosus and 36 healthy control subjects matched for age, sex, and ethnic origin, researchers at the University of Hong Kong. found that 1 - 4 hours after drinking a strong cup of coffee (caffeine), there was no association between slow acetylator status and lupus erythematosus in the both study subjects.

Acetylator is found to associated to a relatively high incidence of systemic lupus erythematosus.

Taking altogether, there is no doubt that coffee caffeine only has a direct effect in increased risk of systemic lupus erythematosus in women with mutation gene NAT, but not other environmental provocative substances. Further cohost and large sample size are necessary to reassess these implications.

Food Therapy: Beet, The Best Anti Liver Cancer Natural functional Food

Kyle J. Norton

Beet root, one of popular functional vegetable may hold a key in reduced risk and treatment of liver cancer, a respectable study opinionated.

Liver cancer is a medical condition characterized by irregular cell growth and multiplied uncontrollably in liver tissues.

Beet, best known as the beetroot or garden beet, belonging to the amaranth family, is a perennial plant with leafy stems growing to 1–2 m tall.

According to the Howard University, in liver tumor induced by injection of tumor initiation with N-nitrosodiethylamine (DEN, 30 mg/kg) in mice model, mice group treated with oral administration of 0.0025% betanin isolated from beet or beet root, exerted a very significant effect on both the incidence and multiplicity of the liver tumors.

Dr. Kapadia GJ, the lead author suggested, betanin, the major chemical compound found in beet root is an effective cancer chemopreventive agent in mice.

Regular consumption of the vegetable may ameliorate against the incidence of cancers, including liver cancer.

In the findings of natural food in compared to conventional anticancer drugs in high resistance HepG2 liver cancer cells, researchers at the University of Urbino "Carlo Bo" found that natural compound Vitexin-2-O-xyloside (XVX) and avenanthramides (AVNs) isolated from beet, exhibited antiproliferative and pro-apoptotic effects by sulforhodamine B method, and caspase activity assays, respectively.

The study also showed the inhibition of the liver cell line may be a result of the phytochemicals activities in activation of proteins in regulated progression of apoptosis and prevented gene in over expression of pro cancer cell survival.

More importantly, the efficacy of beetroot in reduced incidence of early onset of liver cancer may also attribute to the antioxidant property in prevention of over production of free radical which was known as an independent risk factor in inducing liver cancer, measured by Cellular antioxidant activity (CAA) assay.

Other in the examine of the effect of betaxanthins and betacyanins efficacy in treatment of various cancers, postulated that the isolated phytochemicals may be a potential natural agents in inhibited cancer cell lines intrinsically and extrinsically in induced apoptosis.

More importantly, using Vitexin-2- O-xyloside, betaxanthins and betacyanins combination with conventional anticancer drugs may be a future treatment in reduce conventional anticancer drugs toxicity and overcome the expression of multidrug resistance of cancer cells.

Collectively, these findings may suggested that intake of functional food - beet root regularly may reduce risk and treatment of liver cancer, but further study may be necessary for validity.
