I love good coffee! I love the taste…. yum…. and oh the energy. So I am always on the search for articles by the experts that tell us the benefits of coffee. Research shows that coffee protects against a variety of ailments  from cavities to colon cancer. And some studies suggest that the more you drink, the better: The beverage lowers your risk of type 2 diabetes and can protect your liver from damage, too. Caffeine gets the credit for some of coffee’s magic powers, including  protection against Parkinsons’ disease and gallstones. But coffee’s main benefit comes from its wealth of antioxidants. In fact, the coffee Bean, which is technically a berry has one of the highest antioxidant contents of all berries. That’s why, drop for drop, coffee has more of these nutrients than even red wine.  Peets coffee is my favorite and they feature an organic blend. I have only one mug per day made with care in a 2 cup French press. That’s enough to keep me energized and happy and optimistic for about 8 hours. And the best part – it’s a natural food!
