For all the coffee lovers out there… here’s some health news that may keep you brewing!

A new study finds that drinking java may reduce your risk of developing multiple sclerosis. Researchers analyzed data from two clinical trials that included patients with MS and people without the disease. One was conducted in Sweden, the other in the U.S.

The researchers found that high coffee consumption in both studies was associated with reduced odds of MS. For the Swedish study, high consumption translated into at least 6 cups of coffee per day. For the U.S., it was 4 or more cups per day.

“There is a growing recognition of potential health benefits of coffee. There are benefits on cardiovascular, or heart disease. There are benefits on diabetes and there even appear to be benefits on other neurologic diseases such as Parkinson’s disease.”
