Are you a coffee lover? How many cups of coffee you take a day? What does coffee has to do with arthritis ? Read on ....Regular coffee drinkers may face a higher risk of arthritis, an increased possibility of heart
disease and problems caused by excess caffeine. Researchers at the National Public Health Institute in Helsinki, Finland, measured the rheumatoid factor – an immune protein present in three-quarters of patients with rheumatism – in 7000 people with no clinical evidence of arthritis and analysed their coffee habits. Participants on four cups a day or more were twice as likely as occasional drinkers to test positive for arthritis. Those drinking 11 or more cups a day were almost 15 times as likely to develop a positive rheumatoid factor.Sources : The Independent, London.
