How’s this for a study…? After analysing 126,000 people for up to 18 years, researchers at Harvard concluded that having 6 cups of coffee a day cut the risk of diabetes by 54% in men and 30% in women.
And that’s not all…
Several studies have suggested that people who drink coffee on a regular basis are up to 80% less likely to develop Parkinson’s disease than those who avoid coffee…
A two cup a day habit can cut the risk of colon cancer by 25% and liver cirrhosis by 80%…
And regular coffee drinkers can enjoy less tooth decay, fight asthma, and less chance of gallstones. It’s also a great laxative first thing in the morning 
The Best Kind of Coffee
Cutting to the chase, there are basically two kinds of coffee – instant (from a jar) and brewing your coffee from roasted and ground coffee beans. The difference in the two lies in the type of bean used. Instant coffee (the stuff that comes in granulated form in jars from your supermarket) is from the robusta bean, whereas your typical ground coffee beans that go into your espresso machines, drip filter or percolator pots, are from the arabica bean. The robusta has less nutritional value and a higher caffeine content, than the arabica coffee bean. Coffee brewed from the arabica bean is also richer in anti-oxidants and doesn’t contains some (cancer causing) carcinogens that “instant” coffee allegedly does.
So all in all, it seems like the smell of fresh coffee beans should become a permanent feature in anyone’s home.
