Coffee is not only fighting disease, it also may be a mood elevator and headache reducer.  It may even be able to lower your risk of having cavities. 

            Some doctors may warn you that two cups a day is the limit, because caffeine can be harmful.  However, according to recent studies at Harvard, six cups or more a day has cut men’s risk of diabetes by 54% and women’s by 30%.  (WebMd.com). 

            “Overall, the research shows that coffee is far more healthful than it is harmful,” says Tomas DePaulis, PhD, research scientist at Vanderbilt University’s Institute for Coffee Studies, which conducts its own medical research and tracks coffee studies from around the world. (WebMd.com)

            This research has also shown that coffee seems to counteract some damage caused by other harmful acts such as smoking and heavy drinking.  These people have less heart disease and liver damage when they regularly consume large amounts of coffee when compared to those who do not. 

            So next time you pour yourself a cup of coffee, don’t second guess yourself, drink up.
