beneficial to the heart, kidneys, liver and may help relieve hypertension. Coffee is a recognized as the number one source of anti-oxidants by the American Chemical Society.
Coffee can help reduce the incidence of Diabetes, Colon Cancer, Skin Cancer and Liver Cancer. Additional studies have found that risk of Parkinson's Disease, Alzheimer's Disease,
Gallstone Disease, Gout and even Dental Cavities are each reduced by drinking 3 to 5 cups of coffee daily. It has been shown that gourmet coffee enhances mental capacity, physical
endurance and alertness.
Tomas DePaulis, PhD, research scientist at Vanderbilt University's Institute for Coffee Studies, was quoted in a WebMD special report saying, "Overall, the research shows that coffee is
far more healthful than it is harmful" and "For most people, very little bad comes from drinking it, but a lot of good."
Coffee has been observed to reduce symptoms of Attention Deficit Disorder in children and adults. A recent German study demonstrates that soluble fiber in coffee has proven health
benefits as well, with fibers called "polysaccharides" in the coffee which serve as food for beneficial bacteria in the human digestive system. The stronger and more plentiful the good
bacteria are in our gut, the less room there is for harmful bacteria in the digestive system.
