Coffee healthy coffee can increase the level of estrogen

Many women regard coffee as a good helper for refreshing and increasing the mood of life. However, did you know that coffee not only raises estrogen levels in your body, but also causes nutrient loss due to diuretic effect?

Coffee raises estrogen levels

Fan Zhihong, an associate professor in the Department of Nutrition and Food Safety at the College of Food Science at China Agricultural University, said research has shown that coffee has a strong effect on increasing estrogen. Women who drink 4-5 cups of coffee a day consume more than 500 milligrams of caffeine. This raises estradiol levels by as much as 70% during the follicular phase of their menstrual cycle (days 1-5 after the start of menstruation), when high levels of estrogen are particularly dangerous. The study found that drinking just two cups of coffee from a small coffee cup significantly increased estrogen levels. The more you drink, the higher your estrogen levels.

Many women know that high estrogen levels increase the risk of breast and endometrial cancer, as well as endometriosis and breast pain. Therefore, women with these worries should drink less coffee. Women with a family history of breast and ovarian cancer should be extra careful and pay more attention to controlling estrogen levels in their bodies.
