Is Coffee Healthy with James Hoffman and Professor Tim Spector

Is Coffee Healthy with James Hoffman and Professor Tim Spector



"Coffee’s earliest consumption dates back millennia when the tribesmen of Ethiopia used its ground-up berries to help aid concentration during prayer. 

Arriving in Europe in the 17th century, Coffee quickly began to replace beer and wine as a favourite breakfast drink. 

In the 20th century, coffee was blamed for high blood pressure and heart attacks, and more recently linked to a rising epidemic of poor sleep. 

None of this has prevented coffee’s relentless rise. Over 2 billion cups of the stuff are drunk each day. 

So, is coffee a guilty treat as many of us suspect? Or is it a health drink feeding your good gut bacteria? 
 
In this episode, Jonathan speaks with James Hoffmann and Tim Spector to find out. They discuss how coffee affects your gut bacteria, your hormones and your heart, whether decaffeinated coffee is healthy, and discover some of coffee’s most surprising side effects – which could come in handy if you find yourself in the jungle.

James Hoffmann is a  leading coffee expert and author of the World Atlas of Coffee and  co-founder & chairman of the Square Mile Coffee Roasters.
Tim Spector  is a co-founder at ZOE and one of the top 100 most cited scientists in the world.

It says on the Big G's website: ‘We do not sell your personal information to anyone’” The truth is, they ARE SHARING your personal and sensitive information, and being compensated handsomely in return. But what’s ACTUALLY going on in this exchange is far WORSE that you can possibly imagine. Naomi Brockwell chats with Bennett Cyphers from EFF, and Johnny Ryan from the Irish Council for Civil Liberties, about what is actually being done with your personal information and real-time location data.
