A cup of coffee a day could keep retinal damage away

Coffee lovers, rejoice! While you may have thought a much-needed energy boost was one of the only benefits of your early-morning (or mid-afternoon) caffeine fix, you may be pleased to hear that you are mistaken.
According to food scientists, coffee can also help prevent deteriorating eyesight and possible blindness from retinal degeneration due to glaucoma, ageing and diabetes. Scientists looked at the impact of chlorogenic acid or CLA, a strong antioxidant that has been shown to prevent retinal degeneration in mice.

To conduct their experiment, mice were treated with nitric oxide, which creates oxidative stress and free radicals and leads to retinal degeneration. Those that were pretreated with CLA developed no sign of retinal damage. On average, raw coffee is just 1% caffeine, but it also contains 7 to 9% chlorogenic acid, which is a strong antioxidant that prevents retinal degeneration in mice.
The retina is a thin tissue layer on the inside, back wall of the eye with millions of light-sensitive cells and other nerve cells that receive and organise visual information. It is also one of the most metabolically active tissues, demanding high levels of oxygen and making it prone to oxidative stress. The lack of oxygen and production of free radicals leads to tissue damage and loss of sight. However, its not yet known whether or not drinking coffee delivers CLA directly to the retina, researchers stress. Future studies could lead to the development of a special brew customised for retinal support, or CLA delivery via eye drops.
The study, published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, is the latest to vaunt the nutritional merits of coffee, reported Hindustan Times.
Another large scale, US-led study published recently in the journal European Association for the Study of Diabetes found that people who drank three or more cups of coffee a day had the lowest risk of type 2 diabetes, that makes it 37% lower than those who consumed one cup or less per day. Coffee drinking has also been associated with a lower risk of lung, prostrate, breast, pancreatic, colon and stomach cancer.

Extra coffee can double stroke risk
(IANS)

14 December 2010
Drinking an extra cup or two of coffee can double stroke risk for light coffee drinkers, says a new study.


Light coffee drinkers - who drink coffee just once or twice a day - are twice as likely to suffer a brain blood clot if they have an extra cup or two, the study found.

The risk of a potentially fatal stroke was greatest in the hour following consumption. After two hours, coffee’s effects had worn off and the risk of a stroke passed, reports the journal Neurology.

But the danger lies in occasional exposure to relatively higher caffeine levels, which made light coffee drinkers more susceptible, according to the Daily Mail.

This could be because coffee-lovers who get through several cups a day become ‘desensitised’ to the effects of caffeine, like raised blood pressure, stiffening of arteries and higher norepinephrine levels, a stress hormone that increases heart rate.

Experts at Harvard Medical School in US studied 400 stroke victims, comparing each one’s coffee intake in the hour before their stroke with their usual consumption over the previous year. Around one in 10 had consumed coffee less than an hour before falling ill.

The consumption was linked with a risk of stroke in the subsequent hour which was twice as high as during the periods where there was no coffee consumption.

Researchers found no such association with caffeinated tea or cola. The risk was mainly confined to those who exceed their normal intake of a cup or so a day.
