Dr timspector, has been explaining that coffee is possibly one of the healthiest drinks out there – even beating green tea.
“What we thought was a nasty thing that gives you heart flutters… new science is telling us that coffee is actually one of the things that we should be prioritising. We should kick orange juice out of the health range… it’s just sugar like Coca Cola, whereas coffee is right up there, even above green tea as health drink.
“Everything is a bit personalised,” Dr Spector says – meaning that there’s no one-size-fits-all answer to nutrition. After three strong coffees, some people might experience heart flutters. “It doesn’t mean this is for everyone, but for a vast majority of people, [coffee] should be preferable toCoffee is packed with fibre and polyphenols, which is why Dr Spector says we should start thinking of it as a health drink.
Dr Spector’s own story is a good reminder that nutrition is hugely personal, and that even when we’re doing everything ‘right’, it can still not work for us. On the programme, he says that doctors “are taught very little about nutrition at medical school or as junior doctors” and that he was one of those doctors who used to think that they knew all the there was to know about health and nutrition. And then, 12 years ago, he suffered a mini stroke at the top of a mountain in Austria.
Spector’s father died at 57 from a heart attack while seemingly fit and healthy. Worried about following him down a similar path, he reevaluated his diet and looked on the internet for advice. “And the majority [of information on official websites] was wrong. That’s how I realised that what I’d been eating for breakfast – posh museli, orange juice, low fat milk, the occasional low fat yoghurt, tea and porridge oats was not actually good for me. I was horrified.
