Patients coming to the Whitaker Wellness Institute sometimes express surprise that we serve coffee. Doesn’t it increase the body’s acidity? Aren’t health-conscious people supposed to drink tea instead? Isn’t caffeine bad for you?
If coffee were harmful, then every morning emergency rooms around the world would be choked with people suffering the ill effects of our favorite breakfast beverage. Of course, this isn’t the case. Coffee is not harmful. On the contrary, I consider it to be a health food, and hundreds of studies bear this out.
From Protection Against Parkinson’s…
Research shows that drinking coffee reduces the risk of Parkinson’s disease by as much as 80 percent and protects against other neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s. It increases insulin sensitivity, and a high intake- at least six cups a day- lowers the risk of type 2 diabetes by 54 percent in men and 30 percent in women.
Coffee improves concentration and alertness, boosts mood, and decreases suicide risk. In fact, just the smell of coffee relieves stress in animals. This popular drink also controls asthma and can even halt a full-blown attack in its tracks. Additionally, coffee can stop migraine headaches, curb appetite, prevent tooth decay, and increase the effectiveness of aspirin and other analgesics (Anacin and Excedrin both contain caffeine). And if you drink it before working out, your endurance will improve and you’ll have less exercise-induced muscle pain.
…to Increased Longevity
Compared to people who avoid coffee, those who drink at least two cups a day are 80 percent less likely to develop cirrhosis of the liver (even if they drink a lot of alcohol), half as likely to have gallstones, and 25 percent less apt to get colon cancer. Coffee is also protective against cancer of the liver and kidneys, and although it’s long been suspected of increasing risk of breast cancer, a recent study spanning 22 years and involving nearly 86,000 women found a weak inverse association between the two in postmenopausal females.
Finally, coffee may even increase longevity. A large 2008 study found that drinking up to six cups of regular or decaffeinated coffee daily is associated with a slightly lower risk of death from heart disease, cancer, and other causes.
What Makes Coffee So Healthful?
So what is it in coffee that provides such remarkable benefits? First, that cup of java is a terrific source of protective antioxidants. Researchers evaluating both the antioxidant levels of various foods and drinks and the frequency with which those items are consumed have found that the average amount of coffee consumed by American adults per day- 1.64 cups- provides 1,299 mg of antioxidants. Tea, the second richest source, supplied only 294 mg, followed by antioxidant-rich (but sparingly eaten) fruits and vegetables, which provide fewer than 75 mg each of antioxidants per day. Believe it or not, coffee even contains fiber- nearly 2 g per cup.
But these aren’t the only components that make coffee a health food. Although some studies reveal that regular and decaffeinated coffee both have benefits, oft-maligned caffeine gives the drink much of its oomph. In addition to perking up the nervous system, caffeine increases the activity of the neurotransmitter dopamine and enhances delivery of nutrients and oxygen to the muscles and brain.
So, the next time you feel like a cup of Joe, indulge yourself. It’s a good way to boost your mood, your energy, and your overall health.

In recent years, Big Pharma has produced a variety of widely hyped bisphosphonate drugs including alendronate (Fosamax), ibandronate (Boniva), risedronate (Actonel) and zoledronic acid (Reclast) that are aimed at preserving bone mass and reducing the risk of fractures. Unfortunately, as NaturalNews has reported, the more these medications are pushed on patients, the more serious side effects are being reported, from dangerous heart arrhythmias (http://www.naturalnews.com/026027_d…) to dental problems, esophageal ulcers, abdominal pain and severe damage to the jaw bone. But a new study involving almost 70,000 people from throughout the U.S. and Europe shows that nutrients — calcium and vitamin D taken together — offer a natural, side effect-free way to prevent fractures.
Because broken bones are a major cause of disability and loss of independence for elders, these findings are of particular interest to older people. In fact, according to the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS), fall-related injuries are the leading cause of accidental death among Americans age 65 and older. However, fractures can be serious at any age, causing pain, sometimes necessitating surgery and almost always restricting activities.
Good news: the researchers found it isn’t only the aged whose bones benefit from taking calcium and vitamin D. Remarkably, they found the supplements reduced fractures in everyone — the young and old, women and men, and even people who had already sustained fractured bones in the past.
The study, published in the January issue of the British Medical Journal, involved an international team of scientists headed by researchers from Copenhagen University in Denmark. They assessed the results of seven large clinical trials from around the world to document whether vitamin D alone or with calcium was effective in reducing fractures.
One of the most important trials included in the new investigation was a long term study conducted at the University of California at Davis (UC Davis) in Sacramento as part of the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI). This 15 year long national program was designed to study the effect of calcium and vitamin D supplements in preventing hip, spine and other types of fractures.
“What is important about this very large study is that it goes a long way toward resolving conflicting evidence about the role of vitamin D, either alone or in combination with calcium, in reducing fractures,” John Robbins, professor of internal medicine at UC Davis and a co-author of the journal article, said in a statement to the media. “Our WHI research in Sacramento included more than 1,000 healthy, postmenopausal women and concluded that taking calcium and vitamin D together helped them preserve bone health and prevent fractures. This latest analysis, because it incorporates so many more people, really confirms our earlier conclusions.”
Bottom line: the researchers concluded that it is the combination of calcium and vitamin D, rather than vitamin D alone, that is most effective in reducing a variety of fractures. “Interestingly, this combination of supplements benefits both women and men of all ages, which is not something we fully expected to find,” Dr. Robbins stated. “We now need to investigate the best dosage, duration and optimal way for people to take it.”

The Food and Drug Administration has recalled more than two million needles made by a Japanese firm over fears they can introduce silicone fragments in patients’ bodies.
The FDA said in a statement Tuesday that Nipro Medical Corp. had taken back products made between January 2007 and August 2009 after inspections in October last year showed between 60 and 72 percent of the needles were defective.
The needles are used to access ports implanted under the skin of chronically ill patients so that blood can be withdrawn or medications infused repeatedly.
Testing showed that when the needles were inserted into the port they sometimes produced slivers or “cores” of silicone, which could be flushed into the patient’s body with adverse results.
Although 20 manufacturers produce the needles, only those made by Nipro were found to frequently result in coring.
“We will continue to work with manufacturers to address coring issues as quickly and thoroughly as possible,” said Jeffrey Shuren, director of the FDAs Center for Devices and Radiological Health.

Flame-retardant chemicals found in many household consumer products may reduce fertility in women, researchers reported Tuesday. Their study joins several other papers published in the last two years suggesting that the chemicals, polybrominated diphenyl ethers, or PBDEs, affect human health.
PBDEs have been used as flame retardants for four decades and are found in foam furniture, electronics, fabrics, carpets and plastics. The chemicals are being phased out nationwide, and certain PBDEs have been banned for use in California. But they are still found in products made before 2004. Californians may have higher exposures compared with residents of other states because of the state’s strict flammability laws, according to the study authors, from UC Berkeley.
Most of the previous research on the chemicals has been in animals. But a 2008 study linked the chemicals to disrupted thyroid levels in men, and a study published this month tied PBDE exposure in pregnancy to neurodevelopmental delays in young children.
“These are association studies. You can’t show cause and effect,” said Dr. Hugh Taylor, an expert on endocrine-disrupting chemicals at Yale University who was not involved in the new study. “But we have cause-and-effect studies in animals, and we have association studies in humans. I think that is fairly convincing.”
In the study, published Tuesday in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives, researchers measured PBDE levels in blood samples from 223 pregnant women. The women, who were primarily Mexican immigrants living in an agricultural community, were asked to recall how long they had been trying to become pregnant, which was defined as being sexually active without the use of birth control.
Women with the highest concentrations of the chemicals experienced a longer delay before pregnancy. Each tenfold increase in blood concentration of PBDEs was linked to a 30% decrease in the likelihood of becoming pregnant each month.
“It’s a pretty strong effect,” said Kim Harley, the lead author of the study and associate director of the Center for Children’s Environmental Health Research at UC Berkeley’s School of Public Health. “They can all become pregnant, but they all had very different amounts of time it took them to become pregnant.”
Previous studies suggest that 97% of Americans have detectable levels of the substances in their blood. PBDEs are also found in some foods, particularly dairy products and higher-fat meat and fish, but household products are considered a major source of exposure.
“PBDEs have the ability to just leach out of these products into our environment,” Harley said. “We’re thinking the routes are probably ingestion or hand to mouth. But it seems that the larger route of exposure is house dust.”
How the chemicals might impair fertility is unclear, she said.
“One of the strongest associations of PBDEs is with thyroid hormone,” Harley said. “Thyroid hormone does seem to play an important role in fertility. Either too low or too high levels can impair fertility. PBDEs also seem to mimic estrogen. It could be through a hormonal mechanism. But we need more research on that.”
Fertility may be one of the first biological processes affected by chemical exposures, said Taylor, director of reproductive endocrinology and infertility at Yale.
“Fertility is easy to perturb,” he said. “Miscarriage is another thing that may be related to environmental exposures. We also have to ask: What are the effects on the next generation? We know these endocrine-disrupting chemicals can affect the next generation’s fertility. Is it due to the mother’s exposure?”
Last month, the Environmental Protection Agency and the two largest manufacturers of one type of PBDE agreed to phase out the chemical. However, the substances will be in the environment a long time, Harley said. And understanding their effects is important.
“The thing is, they are used in these durable goods that we have in homes,” she said. “Couches, chairs, TVs, carpet padding. These are things that will stay in our house for years to come.”

Detectives are investigating a Queens clinic where a 37-year-old woman was fatally injured while undergoing an abortion, officials said Tuesday.
Alexandra Nuñez began bleeding heavily during the procedure at A1 Medicine in Jackson Heights on Monday, officials said.
One of Nuñez’s arteries was inadvertently severed and she went into cardiac arrest, according to police sources.
She was taken to Elmhurst Hospital Center, where she died a short time later.
Detectives have interviewed the staff at the Roosevelt Ave. clinic, but no charges have been filed, police said.
“There is an investigation going forward,” said Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly, “but as of yet, there’s no indication of any criminality.”
Nuñez, a single mother of four who lived in Plainfield, N.J., underwent the procedure at 3:30p.m., police said.
She had told her family that she was going to a doctor’s office in Newark to have a cyst removed – and her death stunned her eldest daughter.
“I’m upset because I never got a chance to say goodbye,” said Daisy Davila, 19. “She didn’t want anyone to go with her. I made dinner and lunch [yesterday] hoping she would come back.”
“We’re not angry. We just want to know what happened,” said Davila, who insisted that her mother did not believe in abortions. “She was a strong woman, always happy. I looked up to her.”
An employee at the clinic – a one-stop gynecology and plastic surgery clinic that was still seeing patients yesterday – insisted that everything had gone well at the second-floor medical facility.
“The patient was transferred to the hospital, she didn’t die at the clinic,” said the woman, who refused to give her name. “Nothing happened here.”
A1 Medicine was accredited in July to do office-based surgery that requires moderate or deep anesthesia – and that includes abortions, according to a spokeswoman for the state Health Department.

US President Barack Obama says the latest audio tape said to be from Osama Bin Laden is an indication of how “weakened” al-Qaeda has become.
In the message, the speaker praises the attempted bombing of a transatlantic US airliner over Detroit on 25 December.
Mr Obama told ABC’s Good Morning America the failed attack had not necessarily been directed by Bin Laden.
And he said security measures introduced since the 11 September 2001 attacks had made the US “much safer”.
The BBC’s Paul Adams in Washington says despite the fears generated by the Christmas Day attempted bombing, the US administration is at pains to play down any suggestion al-Qaeda is a growing threat.
The voice recording – which said it was from “Osama to Obama” – claimed al-Qaeda was behind the plot, and warned of further attacks.
Broadcast on al-Jazeera TV on Sunday, it said a Nigerian man, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, who is charged with attempting to blow up the airliner, was a “hero”.
But in the interview which aired on ABC on Tuesday, Mr Obama said: “Al-Qaeda itself is greatly weakened from where it was back in 2000.
“Bin Laden sending out a tape trying to take credit for a Nigerian student who engaged in a failed bombing attempt is an indication of how weakened he is, because this is not something necessarily directed by him.”
On Monday, the US state department’s co-ordinator for counter-terrorism said the “Bin Laden” audio tape was an attempt to bask in “reflected glory” of the plot.
The Yemen-based regional wing of al-Qaeda has said it was behind the attempted attack.

Despite having several other pressing issues to address, Mr Obama was summoned by the Bridgeview court in suburban Chicago.
The summons arrived at the Obama’s home on Chicago’s South Side.
However, a White House official said the president had alerted the court three weeks ago that he would not be able to make it.
“The president won’t be expected to show up, but I’m sure he has already received his summons and responded,” a court source told the Chicago Sun-Times. “The jury summons contains his Kenwood address and is for a jury trial on Monday.”
With his first State of the Union speech set for Wednesday, Mr Obama has a busy week ahead. He is also fighting strong opposition to his proposed health reforms and is preoccupied with improving the American economy.
A 1991 graduate of Harvard Law School, president of its law review and later a professor at the University of Chicago Law School, Mr Obama was a US senator from Illinois before he was elected to the White House.

The police commander heading security at the World Economic Forum in Switzerland was found dead on Tuesday, local authorities said, adding that his death appeared to be suicide.
Markus Reinhardt, head of police in the Swiss canton of Graubuenden, was found dead in his hotel in Davos, police said in a statement on their website.
“All indications point to a suicide,” the statement said.
WEF founder and executive founder Klaus Schwab said in a statement that the organisers appreciated Reinhardt’s professionalism and kindness over years of co-operation.
“The Security Forces continue to have our full confidence and trust in their work,” the statement said.
Reinhardt, 61, had headed the canton’s police force since 1984.
