According to a recent study by Wageningen University and UMC Groningen, coffee drinkers can breathe a sigh of relief. The research, which involved 80,000 Dutch test subjects, found that coffee has positive effects on the health of kidneys.
The study, which looked at the daily coffee consumption of participants, revealed that the positive effects on kidney health began with just one cup of coffee. However, the most significant benefits were observed at around four cups of coffee per day. Drinking five or more cups did not have any additional health benefits, according to the findings.
This recommendation of four cups of coffee is in line with the advice of the Nutrition Center, which suggests not consuming more than five cups of coffee per day due to the negative effects of excessive caffeine consumption on the body. Additionally, the study found that well-filtered coffee is preferred as it contains less cafestol, a substance that can increase LDL cholesterol.
Explaining the reasons behind the positive effects, Marianne Geleijnse, a professor of nutrition and cardiovascular disease at Wageningen University, stated that there are numerous substances in coffee that may contribute to these benefits. However, further research is needed to identify the exact substances responsible for the positive effects on kidney health.
It’s important to note that the study specifically focused on black coffee, without milk, sugar, or flavored syrups. The study did not consider the effects of specialty coffee drinks, such as Pumpkin Spice Lattes, which are popular among many coffee drinkers.
Despite the positive findings, the study did highlight some potential negative effects of excessive coffee consumption, such as a possible impact on breast size and the potential to cause agitation in individuals who consume high amounts of black coffee.
While the study underscores the potential health benefits of moderate coffee consumption, further research is needed to fully understand the effects of the various compounds in coffee on kidney health. Regardless, for many coffee enthusiasts, the news provides a welcome reassurance that their daily cup of coffee may be supporting their kidney health.]
