Coffee: More Than Just a Stimulant
Coffee is far more than just a vehicle for caffeine. It is one of the largest sources of antioxidants in the Western diet. Regular consumption of black coffee has been linked in large observational studies to a lower risk of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, liver disease, and several types of cancer. The beneficial compounds in coffee, like chlorogenic acid and other polyphenols, have potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. The key is to drink it black or with minimal additions, as loading it with sugar and cream can negate many of the health benefits.
