Health Benefits of Coffee

Coffee provides more than just a morning jolt; that steaming cup of java is also the number one source of antioxidants in the U.S. diet.

Americans get more of their antioxidants from coffee than any other dietary source, consuming 1,299 milligrams of antioxidants. Both caffeinated and decaf versions appear to provide similar antioxidant levels.

Coffee not only helps clear the mind and perk up the energy, it also provides more healthful antioxidants than any other food or beverage in the American diet. Antioxidants are thought to help battle cancer and provide other health benefits,including protection against liver and colon cancer, type 2 diabetes,
and Parkinson's disease.
