How Much is Enough?
If you don’t like coffee, consider drinking black tea, which is the second the bulk consumed antioxidant source in the U.S. diet. Dr. Keith I. Block of the Block Center for Integrative Cancer Care and Optimal Health in Evanston, Illinois is in agreement. He concedes that while coffee might be the number one source of antioxidant in the American diet, “that is not license to make it a mainstay of your health regimen.” Block further noted that “Vinson’s (Dr. Joe Vinson, the lead scientist who conducted the University of Scranton study) outcomes are probably more a reflection on the inadequacy of our fruit and vegetable consumption than on the health advantages of coffee, which has some significant health worries for a lot people.” Vinson says, “There are about 4,000 known (antioxidant) compounds that are in plants. Their purpose (for the plant) is to alleviate free radicals from UV light (exposure). Coffee is a rather unique plant in that it doesn’t have many of dissimilar chemicals in it.” Other study authors and experts warn that people obtain the the bulk disease protection when they consume a wide variety of antioxidants. Since coffee carries only a few clear cut types, it's not recommended that you make the bean your only antioxidant source. Director of the Antioxidants Research Laboratory at Tufts University’s Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging in Boston, Massachusetts, Jeffery B. Blumberg also cautions that Vinson’s study data do not account for how well chemicals in coffee are absorbed in the body. “The antioxidants in coffee are primarily of a clear cut type…,” he said. “We know relatively little about its activity in humans and its biological role.” “To suggest its role is similar to other vital antioxidants is misleading,” he added. Both Vinson and Blumberg advocate that consuming more foods that contain a host of essential minerals and nutrients in addition to a high concentration of antioxidants – such as vegetables, fruits, nuts, and whole grains is better than relying solely on coffee. |
