Coffee - Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down?

Coffee � Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down? | Christianpost.com- Christian News Online , Christian World News: "In terms of health, there are pros and cons of drinking coffee. Let�s examine the pros first. A recent study funded by the American Cocoa Research Institute, says coffee drinkers appear to have higher levels of antioxidants. Antioxidants protect the body against various types of cancers. Another research study conducted in 2004 showed that regular coffee consumption lowered the risk of type 2 diabetes. The mechanism as to why this occurred is unclear and further research into this area needs to be conducted. Other studies have shown that coffee may reduce the risk of developing gallstones, it may prevent the development of colon cancer, it can be beneficial for people with Parkinson�s disease and it may improve cognitive function.

But, there is a downside to coffee consumption."
