>>> WELCOME BACK.
IT IS TIME FOR OUR WEEKLY
MEDICAL CHECKUP.
IF COFFEE IS AN ESSENTIAL PART
OF YOUR MORNING ROUTINE, WE
HAVE SOME GREAT NEWS ABOUT IT’S
POSSIBLE HEALTH BENEFITS.
>>> PLUS, HOW LAUGHTER COULD BE
THE BEST MEDICINE WHEN IT COMES
TO DRY EYES.
DOCTOR, I AM LOVING THIS
BECAUSE I HAVE DRY EYES AND I
LOVE COFFEE.
IT IS A NECESSITY.
THE THING ABOUT COFFEE, I FEEL
LIKE THERE IS ALWAYS A NEW
STUDY COMING OUT EITHER WITH
SOMETHING SUPER GREAT OR SUPER
BAD.
YOU ALWAYS HEAR SOMEONE SAYING,
I AM CUTTING OUT COFFEE AS IF
IT WERE SUGAR.
>> RESEARCHERS LOOKED AT
HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE
WHO DRINK NOTHING, NO TEA, NO
COFFEE, THOSE WHO DRINK
MODERATE AMOUNTS, TWO OR THREE
CUPS AND THE PEOPLE WHO DRINK
MORE THAN THAT AND WE LOOKED AT
THEM FOR 12 YEARS AND TRIED TO
SEE WHAT ASSOCIATION IF
ANYTHING HAD WITH THE CARDIO
METABOLIC DISEASES SUCH AS TYPE
II DIABETES, CORONARY ARTERY
DISEASE AND BLOOD PRESSURE,
THINGS WE WORRY ABOUT.
AND THEY FOUND A REDUCTION OF
THE RISK OF GETTING CARDIO
METABOLIC DISEASES IF YOU HAVE
A MODERATE AMOUNT OF CAFFEINE,
TWO OR THREE CUPS A DAY.
EVEN A HIGHER REDUCTION IF YOU
ARE A COFFEE DRINKER AND STILL
A REDUCTION FOR A COFFEE AND
TEA DRINKER.
GOOD NEWS, THERE HAVE BEEN
ASSOCIATIONS OF RISK WITH
HIGHER LEVELS OF CAFFEINE.
THAT IS WHY I THINK YOU ARE
HEARING THESE MESSAGES OF CUT
THIS OR CUT THAT BECAUSE FOR
EACH PERSON, THE AMOUNT OF
COFFEE MIGHT BE JUST A LITTLE
BIT DIFFERENT.
REMEMBER THAT CAFFEINE ITSELF
IS A DRUG. REMEMBERING THAT IT
FITS WITH OTHER CONDITIONS YOU
HAVE.
TALKING TO YOUR DOCTOR AND
OTHERS IN THAT IS WHY I THINK
