Coffee and Cola Caffeine Risks

Two studies reported last month found that caffeinated drinks such as cola and coffee could be detrimental to health.

The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reported cola drinks could contribute to loss of bone density and conditions such as osteoporosis. Previous research has shown that carbonated drinks may play a role in damaging bone. Researchers at Creighton University, Nebraska claimed that Caffeine worsened this effect. Caffeinated drinks such as cola lowered calcium levels, while other fizzy drinks such as lemonade had a lesser effect.

A further study in Norway suggested drinking filtered coffee could increase the risk of heart disease. In a study of 183 Norwegians, giving up coffee was seen to reduce cholesterol levels and boost levels of folic acid, which may be good for the heart.

Thought for the Day:

It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see.
- Henry David Thoreau

SO YOU WANT TO STOP SMOKING ONCE AND FOR ALL?

There is no single magic approach to stopping smoking.  It’s a learned behaviour (we’re not born smokers).  There is a major psychological element as well as chemical dependency.  No single formula, system or product will do the job. All they do is make the manufacturers richer.  That’s why so many attempts fail.

Whilst there is no quick, easy way to quit smoking - if you want to find out how you can stop once and for all - call Edith Maskell now on FREEPHONE 0800 093 1178 for a FREE initial consultation.
