Health Effects of Coffee: Mechanism Unraveled?

...Coffee plays a dominant role in that regard because it is the major dietary source of phenolic acids and polyphenols in the developed world. A possible supportive action may be the modulation of the gut microbiota by non-digested prebiotic constituents of coffee, but the available data are still scarce. We conclude that coffee employs similar pathways of promoting health as assumed for other vegetables and fruits. Coffee beans may be viewed as healthy vegetable food and a main supplier of dietary phenolic phytochemicals.

Many thanks for your article, very informative. What we don't know and even worse, what we don't know what we don't know....

I found this paper interesting, especially as I was struggling with problems after being infected with "Cryptosporidium" a rather nasty parasitic bowel infection. (Memo to self, never ever eat raw raspberries, ever).

The theory and results seems sound and I embarked on a course of "Symbiotics"- a blend of pro and pre biotics.

Without wishing to tempt providence it's working for me....

Also this paper, useful for budding alcoholics -

Very much appreciate your work on this! There are so many different products out there - this has been quite helpful and I will pass on to a relative who had CRC w/surg/chemo... left with neuropathy which his oncologist claimed he hadn't really seen in patients............. right.

I recently heard a dr say that the old 5 to 10 yr rate of CRC development is not valid - said he has seen clean colons and then within 1-2 yrs, CRC is there. Even an oddball one that developed in 6 months. This was trending prior to covid.

I must be missing something as I don't quite understand how those microbes can be effective if they die off at room temp when our bodies are much warmer.

Sauerkraut didn't get a mention - horse of a different color?

Some antibiotics are worse for the microbiome than others. The quinolones have to be the worst.

Great review, thanks

Cyprinus Carpio, a not very good, but excellent tour de force of the littlest things that do the biggest things.

"they don't go through the rigorous testing medicines do"

ROFLMAOPIMP and the rest follows...

Because of the way mRNA vaccines are regulated, we are quite sure that:

the product does not actually contain the ingredients stated on the label

the product contains enough mRNA to have an effect

the mRNA are able to survive long enough to reach every system in your body

9 out of 10 Doctors prefer mRNA vaccines for years of satisfying transfection & revenue to come.
