The Health Perks of Coffee
By Kelly Young
看到這標題就讓人感到興趣，因為每日早上一杯咖啡已經成為生活的一部份，每天這樣喝，常會聽到「好心人」的建議，這樣會不會骨質酥鬆啊？說真的也很難反駁他們，只能說一日一杯，而且有加鮮奶，應該沒關係啦！
這篇文章讓我心中的大石頭放下了，因為「適量(moderate)」的飲用咖啡對心血管有益或是「至少無害」。可能有益的是，減少缺血性腦中風，減少type 2 DM。此外，用煮(boiled)的咖啡會有LDL, total cholesterol上升的問題，但是過濾式的咖啡(filtered)，則沒有此害處，是因為有濾紙的幫忙，把讓血脂高的因素過濾掉了嗎？(ref 1)
加2 tablespoons (15 ml x 2) of milk 就可以把因為喝咖啡所引起的尿鈣流失補回來，我加的熱牛奶還大於1:1，所以不用怕。然而歐美常用加入咖啡的half-and-half (一半牛奶，一半奶油，ref 2)，則不在此討論內。

From wikipedia (Canada and the
United States. In Canada and the United States, half and half (known as
"half cream" in the United Kingdom) almost always refers to a very
light cream typically used in coffee. The name refers to the liquid's content
of half milk and half cream even though its butterfat content is only about
12.5%.[5] It is widely available in the United States, both in individual-serving
containers and in bulk. It is also used to make ice cream. Non-fat versions of
the product are also available, containing corn syrup and other ingredients.[6]
