Now there's new research from The Journal of Nutrition identifying that drinking coffee provides more antioxidants than and is just as helpful as eating fruits and vegetables to help reduces the risk of major chronic degenerative diseases.
"The objective of this study was to determine the contribution of various food groups to total antioxidant intake, and to assess the correlations of the total antioxidant intake from various food groups with plasma antioxidants." The results they found in the study were significant.
"The intake of total antioxidants was significantly correlated with plasma lutein, zeaxanthin, and lycopene. Among individual food groups, coffee, wine, and vegetables were significantly correlated with dietary zeaxanthin, β-carotene, and α-carotene. These data agree with the hypothesis that dietary antioxidants other than the well-known antioxidants contribute to our antioxidant defense. Surprisingly, the single greatest contributor to the total antioxidant intake was coffee."
They also found that regular coffee consumption delays the onset of Alzheimer's disease and protects against type 2 diabetes.
So folks who have been drinking coffee, keep your cup of java close to hand daily! for those how have to drink it with all the additives, give a straight 'hightess' try and you just may enjoy it even better while your body thanks you!
