What Are The Benefits Of Coffee, Green Tea And Scotch In Moderate Levels? Do They Help In Fighting Cancer?
OK, so I'm "beverage confused" - research I've recently stumbled across is praising the benefits of drinking one cup of coffee a day and several cups of green tea as a means of reducing risk of stroke and heart attack. Another study shows that moderate consumption of single malt Scotch with its high levels of elligac(sp?) acid are is a solid antioxidant to thwart cancer cells. I've got mild ED and I've also read that alcohol, coffee and green tea and counter-productive for ED. So, where do we go from here?

Dear Sir,
Thank you for asking your query at HCM. There are many trials which have been carried out to evaluate the role of beverages & cancer but none of them have conclusively proven the beneficial role and the exact amount to be consumes. Excess of anything is bad and these beverages might help in reducing some ailments but predispose to certain others and it is very difficult to strike the right balance.
Hoping for the best
