Researchers from the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Johns Hopkins University in Maryland and the University of California, Berkeley, found other benefits of coffee. According to them, drinking coffee six times per day can prevent the risk of Multiple Sclerosis (MS).
As reported Dailymail, the study involved 1,620 adults with MS and 2,788 comparison group of people without MS. The second group included 1,159 people with MS and 1,172 healthy people.
In both studies, the researchers then estimated the intake of coffee before the start of the symptoms of MS compared to the healthy group. Experts are not sure why coffee protects against the disease. But caffeine is thought to lower the risk of MS by 30 percent.
"At the coffee may be a neuroprotective properties that have been proven to encourage resposn inflammation in the body," says the researcher.
Multiple Sclerosis, The Thousand Faces Disease
justify;">MS is a neurological condition that causes paralysis. In Indonesia, the disease is relatively rare. The disease is usually diagnosed in the productive age, between 15-50 years. In the last 1.5 years in RSCM there are about 14 people who are diagnosed with this disease.
This condition most often affects women than men, causing loss of mobility, vision problems, fatigue and excruciating pain.
However, research published in the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry is considered just an observational study, so there is no cause and effect conclusions.
"Regardless of whether the consumption of coffee has the benefit of preventing the disease, in this study we see the effects of coffee for 5-10 years," says the researcher.
In an accompanying editorial, Elaine Kingwell and Jose Maria Andreas Wijnands of the University of British Columbia in Vancouver said the evidence about the benefits of coffee for health is still developing. And this analysis adds to the evidence in favor of the coffee.
These findings will also be considered warrants further investigation. Head of clinical trials on MS Society, Dr Emma Gray, said this study provides new evidence of no association between coffee and risk of MS to be tested.
"There are more than 100,000 people with MS in the UK and we do not yet fully understand what causes. Further studies are needed to determine the root of the disease," he said.
