Researchers say that cup of joe could be good for you too⦠if you stick to the right amount. Pouring a cup of coffee is part of the morning routine for most people and while many drink it for the flavor or the caffeine, it has some other perks. A recent study published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism found it can lower the risk of Type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease and stroke.
The benefits were highest for someone who drank a moderate amount of coffee: three cups or milligrams of caffeine a day. Too much can also negatively impact health. Also consider how much sugar, cream, and other things are added to each cup. Mayo Clinic warns caffeine has been linked to an increased risk of miscarriage. It suggests women who are pregnant or trying to get pregnant reduce caffeine intake to milligrams, which is about two eight-ounce cups.
