Coffee Trim Female Depression Risk

Not only delicious and expel drowsiness, coffee was also able to reduce the risk of depression in women. The study conducted by researchers from Harvard School of Public Health in Boston declared women who drank 2-3 cups of coffee per day had a lower risk of depression, 15 percent in the 10-year period than women who only drink a cup every week.

But researchers warn that study, this study only shows an association between coffee consumption and risk of depression, and does not prove that drinking coffee lowers the risk of depression in women. To investigate the relationship, they asked for help more than 50 thousand women in America.

This finding is similar to the results of previous studies, which found an association between coffee consumption within reasonable limits and a reduced risk of suicide.
This study is a recent study which states that consumption of coffee has health benefits. Previous research found an association between coffee drinking and reduced risk of breast cancer, prostate cancer, and stroke.

"If collected into one, all that hashish studies convince coffee drinkers that no harmful consequences of coffee," said Dr. Seth Berkowitz. "Because the study only showed a correlation between coffee and risk of depression, it is too early for doctors to recommend the consumption of coffee for their patients."

The majority of American adults consume caffeine, and 80 percent of daily caffeine consumption comes from the black liquid. But researchers have not been able to understand the effects of caffeine on depression. Emma Robertson-Blackmore, professor of psychiatry University of Rochester Medical Center, called the study results were interesting, but he suggested that it examined more deeply. "Women who became study participants were the nurses and their caffeine consumption does not reflect the population of women in America in general," said Robertson-Blackmore. *** [LIVESCIENCE | KORAN TEMPO 3560]
