Caffeine, drugs, iron, zinc, heart and latest research
Coffee is a complex mixture of chemicals that provides significant amounts of chlorogenic acid and caffeine. Unfiltered coffee is a significant source of cafestol and kahweol, which are diterpenes that have been implicated in the cholesterol-raising effects of coffee. The results of epidemiological research suggest that coffee consumption may help prevent several chronic diseases, including type 2 DM,41 Parkinson’s disease69Continue reading “Caffeine, drugs, iron, zinc, heart and latest research”
