Coffee, a popular and social beverage all over the world, particularly in the West, is a drink made from roasted bean from the Coffea plant, native to tropical Africa and Madagascar.

According to Tel-Aviv University, Tel-Aviv, even though coffee consumption have linked to a reduced risk of skin disease, but coffee intake showed no significant association to the risk of psoriasis.


In the study of 43 patients with various forms of psoriasis (excluding pustular and erythrodermic psoriasis)selected and answered a questionnaire about their eating habits in the first visit, with special attention to the consumption of several products, researchers found that intake of coffee accompanied by black tea, chocolate, yerba mate, pepper,... showed reduced scaling and erythema, milder outbreaks during the year and improved quality of life in 88% of patients.


Unfortunately, 11.63% (5 patients) did not notice any effects on the skin


These result demonstrated that besides receiving proper scientific advice, education of patients in chosen of better eating habits and suspended use of alcoholic drinks and tobacco. are necessary for improving the quality of life, in injunction with the use of medical therapy.


Dr. Festugato M said," Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory systemic disease,....(and) As a systemic disease, which shares the same pathophysiological substrate with other comorbidities, diet also leads to worsening of comorbidities".


Other in the study of a total of 82 539 participants free of psoriasis in 1991 included from the Nurses' Health Study (NHS) II7 and observed until 2005, with incidence of psoriasis ascertained by self-report on questionnaires in inquired about the clinician-diagnosed psoriasis and the date of diagnosis, researchers after analyzed the returned questionnaires showed that

1. Risk of psoriasis is moderately elevated with increasing coffee consumption in the age-adjusted model.

2. Intake of decaffeinated coffee implied no insignificant risk of psoriasis

3. Risk of psoriasis increased linearly was also observed with higher caffeine intake in the age-adjusted model.

But after adjusting to smoking status, researchers indicated that The association became null after adjustment for smoking.


Dr. Wenqing Li, the led author said, "Smoking appears to be the major confounder underlying the observed significant association between coffee and caffeine intake and risk of psoriasis in age-adjusted models".

Taking all together, there is no doubt, coffee and coffee caffeine do not have any implication in elevated risk of psoriasis excepted long term smokers.
