Are you enjoying a cup of coffee in the morning, while reading your favorite newspaper or just relaxing after working eight-hours? Well, keep on sipping, because its not just a simple beverage to buzz you up, it has health benefits.According to a WebMD report, coffee is a rich source of disease-fighting antioxidants.
This type of antioxidant, along with the magnesium found naturally in coffee, affect blood sugar levels and are thought to be responsible for the link to a lower risk of type 2 diabetes.
The study ranked black tea as second source of antioxidants, and bananas as third, in the average American diet.
Tomas DePaulis, PhD, research scientist at Vanderbilt University's Institute of Coffee Studies said that their research shows that coffee is far more healthful than it is harmful.
The studies have shown that regular coffee drinkers can reduce their risk of Parkinson's disease by 80 percent, the risk of colon cancer by 25 percent, the risk of cirrhosis of the liver by 80 percent, and cut the risk of gallstones in half.
People who drank two cups a day of decaf coffee had half the risk of rectal cancer, compared with tea or caffeinated coffee drinkers.
De Paulis added that it only gives a very little bad effect, but a lot of good.
Coffee becomes the number one anti-oxidant in America, WebMD said.
But researchers pointed out that caffeine can also be found in coffee. Caffeine is a drug, can be abused when use in place of a good night's rest or a healthy diet.
The report said that an eight-ounce cup of drip coffee has 85 milligrams of caffeine.
It was learned that a standard dose of pain reliever with caffeine usually has 120 milligrams.
