If you are addicted to coffee and doctors warn you to quit the habit, don’t worry and just keep
relishing the beverage, because it is not that bad after all! In fact, according to a new study, the
steaming cup of Java can beat fruits and vegetables as the primary source of antioxidants. Some
studies state that coffee is the number one source of antioxidants in the American diet, and both
caffeinated and decaf versions appear to provide similar antioxidant levels.
Antioxidants, in general, have been linked to a number of potential health benefits, including
protection against heart diseases and cancer, butVinson, a dietician said that their benefits ultimately
depend on how they are absorbed and utilized in the body. The research saysthat coffee outranks
popular antioxidantsourceslike tea, milk, chocolate and cranberries. Of all the foods and beverages
studied, dates actually have the most antioxidants based solely on the serving size, butsince dates
are not consumed anywhere near the level of coffee, the drink comes as the top source of
antioxidants, Vinsonsaid.
Besides keeping you alert and awake, coffee has been linked to an increasing number of potential
health benefits, including protection against liver and colon cancer, type 2 diabetes and Parkinson’s
disease, according to some recently published studies.
The researchers, however, advise that one should consume coffee in moderation, because it can
make you jittery and cause stomach pains.
