Description

  • Instant coffee increases dry age-related macular degeneration risk nearly sevenfold compared to other coffee types, according to genetic studies
  • Each cup of instant coffee causes equivalent of 0.38 years additional biological aging by shortening protective telomeres on chromosomes
  • Instant coffee contains more contaminants like acrylamide, lead, and advanced glycation end products due to intense heat processing methods
  • Filtered coffee using freshly ground beans shows no harmful effects on telomeres or eye disease risk in research studies
  • Experts recommend completely avoiding instant coffee and switching to organic, shade-grown filtered coffee to protect long-term health
