Coffee: Bad Reputation, Good Health
Coffee has long had a special place in my heart. Although I am not too fond of American brewed coffee — it’s too weak, in my opinion — even that is a variety I am learning to like.
Nothing beats the smell of a freshly pulled shot of espresso. It livens the senses in every way. The rich inviting aroma wakes you up instantly and the taste embraces you like a warm hug.
The reputation of this popular drink is not always a positive one. Blamed for yellowing of teeth and a wide array of health issues, many do not know of the health benefits associated with drinking coffee.
Studies have shown that coffee is filled with large amounts of antioxidants and may actually lower your risk of cancer.
In a study conducted by the Mayo Clinic, CBS News reported that the “study found that, among the 20,000 women who participated, those who drank more than two-and-a-half cups of coffee daily were less likely to develop uterine, or endometrial, cancercompared to women who did not drink coffee at all.”
