Russian doctor: Coffee can sometimes threaten human health

In an interview with Russian radio “Sputnik”, Russian dietician and endocrinologist Alexei Kalinitshev spoke of the risks that coffee can sometimes pose to human health.

The doctor said drinking a cup of the traditional morning coffee on an empty stomach is strictly forbidden and explained that drinking this drink on an empty stomach can cause the exacerbation of chronic digestive diseases, such as gastritis, peptic ulcers and pancreatitis.

“In fact, we all have these diseases in two advanced or latent stages, having suffered from them since school or college,” he said.

The doctor described drinking coffee on an empty stomach as wrong eating behavior, as a person does not face healthy hunger in the morning and does not want to eat and drink coffee just to cool off.

She added: “As for after breakfast, you can drink coffee with anything. You don’t care if your coffee is black, milk or substitute. Don’t be afraid to combine coffee and sweets.”

However, coffee doesn’t stimulate a person all the time. And sometimes it has the opposite effect.

So a person can drink coffee at any time of the day, even at night.
