Coffee & Health

There are at least five reasons you should keep drinking your daily cups of coffee:

1. Coffee may protect the liver and ward off cirrhosis and even liver cancer.
2. Coffee is a lot more than just caffeine.  It contains antioxidants and other nutrients that make it a veritable competitor to the likes of blueberries and green tea.
3. The long-held myth that coffee acts as a diuretic has been discounted, and although it does cause urinary urgency, coffee now counts toward our total daily fluid intake.
4. Research has shown that coffee may protect against neurodegenerative diseases including Parkinson's and Alzheimer's.
5. Based on the results of 18 studies, involving almost half a million subjects, each additional cup of coffee per day resulted in a 7% reduction in the development of diabetes.
