Superfood?

[vanzandt]

It would be useful if the researchers could arrive at a relevant dosage range. Perhaps such a study is, or will be, in the works.

In the works?!
Dude... they have been studying caffeine for like 50 years and still have not come to a definitive conclusion.

A diet of pesticide free fruits only is extremely healthy. You can add some nuts and/or olive oil if you need extra energy. Animal meats and fats contain too much hormones, but they are ok once in a while.

studying caffeine for like 50 years and still have not come to a definitive conclusion.

The conclusion is that it helps longevity, they just don't exactly know why. The latest guess is anti-inflammation. But FF was wondering about the dosage.

I say 2 lattes...

"showing that higher coffee consumption (2–4 cups per day) was associated with a reduced risk of death by all disease causes."

There still could be no direct causation effect, just might be coffee drinkers are more chill and not stressed thus die less often, but still, just drink coffee and chill...

Now I wonder if getting caffeine in other forms like tea or coke has the same effect?

Sure, but what size?!

You forgot to mention the study was sponsored by Starbucks!

I don't believe in superfoods either. It's important to have a good diet in general. If you have a bad diet (i.e. potato chips and soda) then adding so-called superfoods won't compensate for it.
Just eat like your granny said by eating your fruits and vegetables. Nothing's changed and there's nothing new.

Actually there is a lot NEW! And superfoods do exist.

Here's a few:

sitting all day long is the new equivalent of smoking. Stand up and move.

Cacao is probably a better alternative to coffee. It has more antioxidants, less caffeine (which I assume is better for you) and is less dehydrating.

Its better to drink it with warm water also because excessive heat can reduce the antioxidant level.

Love the stuff. I add unsweetened baking cocoa to my 2 daily milkshakes and my twice weekly oatmeal.
