Food Therapy: High Amount of Coffee Consumed(> 3 Cups/day) in Reduced Risk of Hypertension?

Kyle J. Norton, Master of Nutrients

Epidemiological studies suggested that intake of high amount coffee and coffee caffeine have a profound effect in reduced prevalence and treatment of hypertension.

Hypertension is a syndrome of abnormal high blood pressure, one of the serve factor in increased risk cardiovascular disease.

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

According to the recent joint study lead the NNEdPro Global Centre for Nutrition and Health, St John's Innovation Centre, the examine of 7 cohorts including 205,349 individuals and 44,120 cases of hypertension included, people drinking more than 7 cups of coffee per day showed a significant decreased risk of hypertension by 9%.

In the linear dose-response analysis, risk of hypertension decreased by 1% for each additional cup of coffee per day.

The information finding from above differentiation demonstrated a modest decrease in risk of hypertension in Increased coffee consumption.

Contrastively, in other review of a total of 172,567 participants and 37,135 incident hypertension cases, covered by 6 prospective cohort studies, the Michigan State University filed the following results
1. Coffee consumed at the lowest level with <1 cup (≈237 mL)/d], incidence of hypertension showed a pooled relative risks ration of 1.09.
2, For people drinking 1-3 cups of coffee daily, the pool relative risk ratio was 1.08

3. In for the highest category of coffee intake >5 cups/d, the relative risk ratio is reduced to 1,07.

After including the dose-response meta-analysis, researchers found that hypertension risk increasing substantially for people consuming between 1 to 3 cups per day.

Dr,. Zhang Z, the lead author said, " habitual coffee consumption of >3 cups/d was not associated with an increased risk of hypertension in compared with <1 cup/d; however, a slightly elevated risk appeared to be associated with light-to-moderate consumption of 1 to 3 cups/d"

Further more, according to the College of Medicine, Mayo Clinic, in a systematic review and meta-analysis of available randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and cohort studies, insisted that ix hundred and ten articles were retrieved and a total of 15, the mean change a pooled SBP was -0.55 mmHg and Meta-analysis of the cohort studies showed an insignificant a pooled risk ratio for developing hypertension of 1.03.

With that result, the review literature proclaimed, " Given the quality of the currently available evidence, no recommendation can be made for or against coffee consumption as it relates to BP and hypertension".

Taking altogether, coffee in take of more than 3 cups may be associated to reduced moderated risk of hypertension. Due to the conflict results, it is recommended that people with hypertension should consult with their doctor before increasing amount of coffee intake.

Food Therapy: Coffee Intake in Risk of Pancreatic Cancers? The Contradictory Results

Kyle J. Norton, Master of Nutrients

Epidemiological studies do not agreed that coffee consumed regularly and daily is associated to decreased risk of pancreatic cancer, a study by the Fudan University suggested.

Pancreatic cancer is a medical condition of cell growth irregularly and disorderly in the pancreas. At the late stage, the cancer cells may travel a distant away from the original site to other tissues and organs.

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

In the review literature published on PubMed and EmBase to determine the risk of pancreatic cancer associated with a 1 cup/d increment in coffee consumption, 14 studies met the inclusion criteria with 671,080 individuals (1496 cancer events) with an average follow-up of 14.9 years, researchers found that in compared to non coffee drinkers, coffee drinkers enjoyed a relative odd risk ratio of 0.82 and 0.68 in compared regular high drinkers and low to moderate coffee drinkers,

This result confirmed the linearly negative risk associated between coffee intake and pancreatic cancer. Risk of PC is reduced further for additional intake.

Constrastively, in the evaluated the relationship of coffee ingestion and pancreatic cancer risk by searching prospective cohort studies and explicit document in the PubMed database before November 2015. researchers expressed that risk pancreatic cancer is increased, by 1% for additional cup of coffee intake, regardless numbers of cups of coffee intake daily.

Dr, Nie K, The lead author said, "The summary relative risk (RR) of pancreatic cancer and coffee intake of the highest compared with lowest category was 0.99 (95% CI=0.81-1.21), with statistically moderate heterogeneity (I2=47.9%, P=0.008)".

The risk of pancreatic cancer in coffee drinker remain constant even after taking account of other factors such as geographic areas, sex of participants, number of cases, follow-up years, ....

Additionally, in the evaluated coffee intake and risk of pancreatic cancer of a review of 4 155 256 person-years of follow-up, 1541 incident first primary pancreatic cancers incidence, scientists strongly insisted that risk estimates for coffee drinking were not statistically significant; compared with never drinkers of coffee, regardless to numbers of coffee intake.

Dr. Dr.Guertin KA, the lead researcher. said, "In a prospective study of coffee intake with the largest number of pancreatic cancer cases to date, we did not observe an association between total, caffeinated, or decaffeinated coffee intake and pancreatic cancer".

Taking together, There are some contradicted results in expression of coffee intake and risk of pancreatic cancer, but the findings suggested that coffee intake is associated to insignificant risk of pancreatic cancer incidence. Further studies are warranted.

Food Therapy: Coffee Intake < 3 Cups/day In Reduced Risk of Gastric Cancer

According to the joint study led by the the Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, by searching of the data base of published literature, including 22 studies (9 cohort and 13 case-control studies) involving 7,631 cases and 1,019,693 controls, the relative risk of gastric cancer and coffee intake was shown in following
1. Relative rsik of gastric cancer was 0.94 (95% CI: 0.80-1.10) for the highest category of coffee consumption compared with the lowest category
2. In compared to non drinker, the relative risk is and 0.93

3. The relative risk of <1 cup/day, 1-2 cups/day and 3-4 cups/day coffee consumption compared with nondrinkers were 0.95, 0.92 and 0.88, respectively,

The information findings, after considering other factors, demonstrated a significant association between coffee intake and decreased gastric cancer risk in case-control studies.

Contraditively, in the study of long term effect of coffee consumption and risk of gastric cancer in US, through searching PubMed and Embase from January 1996 through February 10, 2015 of a total of 2019 gastric cancer incident cases among 1,289,314 participants with mean follow-up periods ranging from 8 to 18 years, suggested that
1. The relative risk (RR) of every 3 cups/day increment of total coffee consumption was 1.07
2. the relative risk of 1.18 in compared with the lowest and the highest categories of coffee consumption
3. RR of 1.06 in compared the second highest and Lowest category (median 3.5 cups/day),
4 RR of 0.97 (95% CI = 0.79-1.20) for the third highest and lowest category (median 1.5 cups/day).

Dr., the lead author said, "Current evidence indicated there was no nonlinear association between coffee consumption and gastric cancer risk. However, high coffee consumption (more than 6.5 cups/day) might increase the risk of gastric cancer in the US population".

Other, subgroups analysis suggested that coffee intake do not have potential effect in gastric risk, but in US subgroup, risk of gastric significant increased risk with the relative ratio of 1.36 in the studies with <10 years of follow-up, particular in those studies without adjustment for smoking.

Taking altogether, although there is conflict evidences, coffee consumption < 3 cups/day was shown to ameliorated risk of gastric cancer.

Coffee consumption may have a linear association to potential risk of bladder cancer development,
a respectable institute postulated.

Bladder cancer is medical condition of cell growth irregularly and disorderly in the bladder. The cancer may spread to distant tissues and organs in the later stage.

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

According to the Shandong University, in the review literature published online satisfied the criteria and guideline to investigate risk of bladder cancer among coffee consumption adults. Selected studies, numbers of cups/day and relative risk RR as follow
For 23 case-control studies
1. for 1 cup/day, RR=1.07
2 for 2 cups/day, RR=1.15
3 for 3 cups/day, RR=1.22
4. for 4 cups/day RR= 1.29
and
For 5 cohort studies
1. for 1 cup/day, RR=1.09
2. for 2 cups/day, RR=1.13
3. for 3 cups/day, RR= 1.09
4 for 4 cups/day, RR=1.01

The findings in both case-control and cohost studies showed a positive association of coffee intake and risk of bladder cancer.

In non smokers, according to the pooled data set comprises 564 cases and 2929 hospital or population controls enrolled in ten studies conducted in Denmark, Germany, Greece, France, Italy and Spain. risk of bladder caner did not increase monotonically with dose but for heavy coffee drinkers of over 10 cups per days, the risk bladder cancer increases substantially.

Dr. Sala M, the lead author said, "Nonsmokers who are heavy coffee drinkers may have a small excess risk of bladder cancer".

Other, in the analysed a case-control study in two different areas of northern Italy (555 cases and 855 controls), coffee intake and risk of bladder cancer showed that
in compared to non drinkers(RR: relative risk ratio)
1. RR 1.2 for one cup of coffee per day,
2. RR 1.4 for two,
3. RR 1.5 for three and
4 RR 1.4 for four or more
5. RR 1.5 (0.9-2.4) for decaffeinated coffee.
But in never smoked participants, the risk of bladder cancer increased significantly
1 .RR 1.9 for one or two cups per day,
2. RR 1.8 for three and
3 RR 1.5 for four or more

Taking together, there is no doubt that coffee and coffee caffeine consumption have a significant risk in exhibited incidence of bladder cancer regardless to numbers of cups intake daily and regularly.

In take of coffee and coffee caffeine daily and regularly is associated to reduced risk and treatment of abnormal fasting glucose levels, epidemiological studies suggested.

Impaired fasting glucose is a condition characterized by abnormal high blood glucose after meal and considered as an indication of prediabetes or symptoms of diabetics.

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

In a prospective study, 910 adults aged >/=50 years without diabetes at baseline in 1984-1987 followed to 1992-1996, an average of 8 years after assessment of coffee intake, researchers found that
past and current coffee drinkers not only had a reduced risk of incident diabetes but also improved impaired glucose in compared with those who never drank coffee.

In 317 participants who are past or current coffee drinkers showed a significant reduced level of fasting blood glucose in compared to the baseline.

Based on an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), Dr. Smith B, the lead author said, "This study confirms a striking protective effect of caffeinated coffee against incident diabetes".

Interestingly, in a study comprised 7949 healthy Swedish subjects aged 35-56 years residing within five municipalities of Stockholm. An oral glucose tolerance test identified 55 men and 52 women with previously undiagnosed type 2 diabetes and 172 men and 167 women with impaired glucose tolerance, researchers at the Karolinska Institutet,file the following results

1. The relative risks when drinking >/=5 cups of coffee per day compared with </=2 cups per day in men were 0.45 and 0.63, respectively, and after adjustment of type 2 diabetes and impaired glucose tolerance but in women, the relative risk was reduced substantially to 0.27.

2. Coffee and coffee caffeine intake was associated inversely in patients with type 2 diabetes.
3. Women, but not in men, with impaired glucose tolerance also benefit from improvement of beta-cell function
4. Both gender with normal glucose tolerance, coffee consumption also displayed a strong effect in reduced risk of insulin resistance.

Dr. Agardh EE, the led author said, "high consumers of coffee have a reduced risk of type 2 diabetes and impaired glucose tolerance. The beneficial effects may involve both improved insulin sensitivity and enhanced insulin response".

Additionally, in a study of subsample of subjects aged 45 to 64 years in 1987 and in 1992 from the population-based FINRISK study (12,287 individuals) invited to receive the standard oral glucose tolerance test at baseline, the fasting and two-hour plasma glucose and insulin measured in 2434 subjects, researchers postulated that according to the data, coffee demonstrated a significantly and inversely associated with fasting glucose, two-hour plasma glucose, and fasting insulin in both men and women.

In fact, intake of coffee in the sample also showed a profound effect in ameliorated impaired fasting glucose, improved impaired glucose regulation, and hyperinsulinemia in both gender, particularly in several glycemia markers.

Conclusively, Coffee, not only is a source of chemical compounds such as chlorogenic acids and lignans in improved glucose metabolism,but also may be considered as a novel mechanisms for effects of diet on Reduced Risk and Treatment of impaired fasting glucose and prevent the development of type 2 diabetes.

Food Therapy: Coffee and Coffee Caffeine in Increased Insomnic Occurrence

By Kyle J. Norton

Coffee consumption may have a negative effect in induced insomnic occurrence, a renowned institute study suggested.
.
Insomnia is a condition characterized by unable to sleep regularly and normally

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

In a total of 7698 subjects aged 11-17 years included in the investigation of a cross-sectional study within the German Health Interview and Examination Survey for Children and Adolescents.Self-report questionnaires returned by participants showed that
1. Frequent coffee consumption, accompanied with high alcohol intake and frequent smoking may be associate to prediction of IC in male subjects
2. Frequent coffee consumption and high alcohol intake also induced predicted occurrence of insomnia IC in females.

After taking into account of other factors, researchers emphasized that coffee consumption may be an important risk factor for IC in adolescents and had a significantly affects in association of smoking, alcohol, and marijuana with IC.

Additionally, in the study conducted by the Instituto Politécnico de Viseu included 6,919 students from the 7th to the 12th grade from 26 secondary schools, during 2012 with data collected, using a self-administered questionnaire, researchers filed the following results
1. The prevalence of symptoms of insomnia was 21.4 %, and the prevalence of insomnia was 8.3 %
2. After adjustment for gender and age, insomnia effects mostly in the female gender
3. Coffee and alcohol consumption showed a significant risk of insomnia with adjusted relative risk of 1.63

According to the finding information, Dr. Amaral MO, the lead author said, " The main risk factors for insomnia among these adolescents are gender (female), age (≥ 16 years), depression, and coffee and alcohol consumption, which is also in concordance with those in the literature".

Furthermore, in rats, radiotelemetry transmitters with electroencephalogram and electromyogram electrodes implanted for sleep recording in animals administered with caffeine alone (10 mg/kg) or in combination with zolpidem (10 mg/kg) or trazodone (20 mg/kg), or vehicle, in crossover experiments with 12 healthy male volunteers in a randomised, placebo-controlled, 4-week crossover study, caffeine injection group showed a significant prolongation in objective sleep onset latency (SOL) with disruption in subjective measures of sleep onset caused by caffeine in rats and humans in compared to other groups.

Taking together, coffee and coffee caffeine may have disruptive effect in induced insomnia and symptoms of insomnia, particularly in female, therefore women who have a history of insomnia should reduced intake of coffee or only drink them in the morning at reduced amount.

Food Therapy: Coffee and Coffee Caffeine in Reduced Early Onset and Treatment of Dementia

By Kyle J. Norton

Epidemiological studies, linking coffee and coffee caffeine in reduced risk of early onset and treatment of dementia have been well documented, according to the joint study by renowned institutes,

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

Dementia is neurodegenatively chronic and medical condition characterized by memory disorders, personality changes, and impaired reasoning,,,,,

According to the joint study lead by the University of Bari Aldo Moro, coffee and coffee caffeine drunk regularly by millions of people around the world as best known psychoactive stimulant may have an explicit effect in heightened alertness and improvement of cognitive performance, thus reducing risk of the development of dementia and late-life cognitive disorders.

In some case-control and cross-sectional and longitudinal population-based studies to evaluate the long-term effects on brain function, researchers suggested that coffee, tea, and caffeine consumption or higher plasma caffeine levels exhibited neuro protective effects against cognitive impairment/decline and dementia.

Intake of coffee and coffee caffeine efficacy in reduced risk of onset neuro impairment depended not only on amount of cups consumed per days but also in expression of gender difference.

Additionally, a review of the longitudinally epidemiological studies about caffeine,/coffee, /tea and dementia/AD/cognitive functioning study, indicated that coffee consumption is associated to favorable effects against cognitive decline, dementia or AD.in most studies (3 out of 5).
And combined coffee and tea drinking demonstrated some positive effects on cognitive functioning. in the other 2 studies.

In fact, the reviewed study also point out that coffee and coffee caffeine intake regularly and daily against the onset of dementia may be attributed to various mechanisms, including antioxidant and caffeine capacity and increased insulin sensitivity.

Dr. Eskelinen MH, the lead author said, " In the CAIDE study, coffee drinking of 3-5 cups per day at midlife was associated with a decreased risk of dementia/AD by about 65% at late-life".

Progressively, the midlife coffee and tea drinking and risk of Aging and Dementia (CAIDE) study, suggested that people drinking 3-5 cups per day in their midlife may benefit to a decreased dementia risk of over 65%.

More importantly, the follow up follow-up of 21 years, 1409 individuals (71%) aged 65 to 79 completed the re-examination in 1998 of a randomly selected from the survivors of a population-based cohorts previously surveyed within the North Karelia Project and the FINMONICA study in 1972, 1977, 1982 or 1987 (midlife visit). also postulated that coffee and coffee caffeine intake at midlife showed a significantly lower risk of dementia and AD later life in compared with those drinking no or only little coffee after adjusted for other factors.

Taking together, there is no doubt that coffee and coffee caffeine consumption had a profound effect in reduced on set and treatment of dementia in dose and gender depending manner.
