This is such an excellent resource which you are providing and you give it away for free of charge. I love seeing web sites that understand the value of providing a high quality resource for free. It?s the old what goes close to comes close to routine. Did you acquired plenty of links and I see lots of trackbacks?

Also don’t add Splenda or Nutrasweet. Read Joseph Mercola’s book, Sweet Deception to see why. You are much better adding stevia (only from SweetLeaf — available online or at Whole Foods) or some raw, organic honey or coconut palm sugar. They are all much healthier sweeteners. than the Splenda or Nutrasweet which are cancer-causing. Try to make the coffee organic.

I am a nutrition student and I still have to have my two cups every morning.

Absolutely. IN fact studies show that coffee drinking actually reduces the risk of diabetes. But if she has high blood pressure, it’s a different story and you’ll want to be careful. Don’t use “creamer” it’s full of trans-fats. Use half and half or something else! I see no reason to eliminate a morning cup of coffee for your mom.

Interestingly one study showed a connection between coffee drinking and less advanced and aggressive prostate cancer tumors! here’s a story on it, you can trace the original research on PubMed:

My mom has just been diagnosed with Diabetes TYPE 2 . She is a coffee lover. But drinks it moderately. She likes to add teaspoon of creamer and splenda with a helthly balanced breakfast. I have read so many articles about how its ok to drink and how its terrible to drink and she must stop. What is your opinion? Can she continue to drink her coffee? if so, should she drink it before or after her breakfast? how long before or after?
Or is it ok to have her coffee with her breakfast as usual?

I’ve written against coffee in the past, understanding that most people over consume it. Initially, removing coffee plays a key role in restoring health and improving pH balance.

however, eventually, I see that coffee can in fact be added back into ones diet and even used as a “tool” to improve health.

It’s a fine line to walk though.

btw, I love how you’ve moved to the Thesis theme Jonny

I did a quick search on PubMed and couldn’t find any studies supporting this- be curious what studies your doc is referring to.

If for any reason you’re worried about caffeine, decaf is a perfectly fine alternative but get the water processed Swiss decaf.

to the best of my knowledge, the study didn’t address caff vs decaf. I believe many of the healthy compounds in coffee are independent of the caffeine, but i have spoken to some coffee researchers in academia who hypothesize that there may be an interactive effect between the caffeine and the other compounds in coffee.

I have always wondered about this: I drink mostly decaf coffee. If I am understanding this article correctly, drinking decaf gives the same benefits as caffeinated. Does decaf coffee have the same amounts of “other stuff” as caffeinated coffee? I believe that even decaf has some amount of caffeine, too…

My doctor mentioned that there may be a link between caffeinated coffee an enlarged prostates in men. I’m curious to hear whether there are any peer-reviewed studies about this potential link. Could decaffeinated coffee provide a good alternative to those concerned about cafeine intake? Are there any inherent risks in consuming “naturally decaffeinated” coffees?

BTW, thanks for the great content.
