R: A study from Harward says 'Coffee may actually be a really good thing especially for women'. It could reduce depression in a long term.
Let me join now Dr. Alberto Ascherio ... Professor of .. and Nutricion at the Harvard School of Public Health and senior author of the study, so, good morning to you.
So, let me clear it we're talking about the coffeine in the coffee is good for you, not necessarily the coffee itself, is that a correct?
P: Yes, good morning, yes, decoffeinated coffee is not associated with depression. That is how we know that is coffeine
R: All right, now, how many cups of coffee are we talking about and over how longer period before you actually saw an impact?
P: Well, we follow the fifty thousand women for ten years and those who drank four cups of coffee per day have twenty percent lower risk of developing depression. So, I would say up to four-five cups of coffee per day is okay.
R: Well, sir, that sounds like a lot of coffee. Er, what's the ... I guess, what's the downside of drinking that much coffee? The coffeine may be good for you but could you also get some negative side effects?
P: Well, some people do have some intolerance. That is really an individual response. But in the long term there is no adverse effect of coffee for people
R: Oh
P: who drink it regulary.
R: Now, you said three - four cups may be. Now, the more you drink .. is that a greater decrease of your chances of this long term depression. So, if you drink three or four cups, your chances decrease a certain percentage. But if you drink six seven eight cups, do you have a greater chance of not getting depression?
P: No, certainly not.
R: ... not like that
P: four to six are the highest .. there the highest level that was consumed in our population. Yes, I would certainly not recommend one to increase their coffeine
R: That is the good ... thing should you make? We're talking about coffee specifically here but, of course, there're other sources of coffeine specifically soft drinks. But, is it specifically coffee here that you has expected this impact because there so much more coffeine in coffee than other soft drink?
P: Yes, a cup of coffee has much more coffeine than a soft drink or even a cup of tea. So it's difficult to reach this level of coffeine by drinking other beverages
R: And what about men? You st... women in this study but can you expect that can have the same effect on men?
P: Most likely a small study in Finland .. .. suggested the senior effect on men. So, we hope to be able to examine this question in men also
R: Have you found in .. you have been studing it over years, have you found some beneficial, er, some benefits of coffein? Have we seen anything, erm, that you would warn people to stay away from coffeine? I guess, how is it bad for you?
P: Well, not really for a regular .. in take of coffeine. There is really no adverse effect. But I would warn people who never drink coffee or coffeine, you know, we're not recommended people to start because people who don't drink coffee they may (have) reason and they may have intolerance of ... anxiety. So we're talking about regular coffee drinkers here, yes.
