Russian doctor: coffee can sometimes threaten human health

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

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

“In fact, we all have these diseases in two latent or advanced stages, since we have been suffering from them since school or university,” he said.

The doctor described drinking coffee on an empty stomach as wrong dietary 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.

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

However, coffee does not 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.
