It is evident today that many of our cancer
are related to a dominance of estrogen. In a world flooded with estrogen and
estrogen like compound, it is important for our body to have as low an estrogen
load as possible. In a clinical trial conducted, about 500 women between the ages of 36 to 45
were studied. These women were not pregnant, not breast-feeding or having hormonal
treatment. They were interviewed regarding their diets, smoking habits, height
and weight. Their hormone levels during the first five days of their menstrual
cycle was also measured.
The results showed that women who consumed
more than one cup of coffee a day had significantly higher levels of estrogen
during the early follicular phase of their menstrual cycle. Those
who consumed at least 500 mg of caffeine daily, the equivalent of four or five
cups of coffee had nearly 70% more estrogen than women who consumed less than
100 mg of caffeine daily.
Caffeine intake from all sources was associated with higher estrogen levels
regardless of the women's age, body mass index (BMI), caloric intake, smoking
habits, alcohol and cholesterol intake. Coffee consumption increases estradiol
levels. There are three different forms of estrogen in the body - estrone, estradiol,
and estriol. Estradiol is the form that is pro-cancerous. Women should
limit their intake of coffee to not more than one to two cups daily to decrease
their risk of having more serious health problems.
Chronic high caffeine intake can also leads to adrenal gland exhaustion and the reduction if production of progesterone. The proper progesterone to estrogen ratio is therefore not maintained, resulting in further estrogen dominance.
Coffee
(especially when accompanied with sugar) also creates an acidic internal environment.
The body will try to neutralize the acid by withdrawing valuable minerals such
as magnesium and calcium from the bone. This leads to mineral depletion if chronic
and ultimately osteoporosis.
In summary, coffee consumption can lead to increased estrogen, adrenal gland exhaustion, and osteoporosis.
