Employees who want to look after themselves at
work might benefit from using the office
coffee machine.
According to Professor Michel Lucas, a
nutrition specialist at the Harvard School of Public Health, the
notion that drinking coffee is "bad for your health" is not true,
the Kansan reports.
Indeed, he insisted that it is actually "more
of a benefit", since it can help stave off conditions such as
depression.
However, Professor Lucas suggested that these
advantages are only offered by coffee that contains enough
caffeine.
As a result, decaffeinated drinks may not be the best option for
those who want to experience the complementary benefits of coffee
consumption.
Professor Lucas added that it would be
"interesting" to carry out further tests to find out if there is a
strong relationship between health and drinking the hot
beverage.
This comes after research by Harvard Medical School and Brigham
and Women's Hospital found that drinking a minimum of three cups of
coffee a day can cut the risk of developing basal cell
carcinoma.
