If you like coffee and it likes you (it doesn't give you migraines, jitters, an upset stomach or off-beat heart rhythms), enjoy. Here's why: Coffee wards off Alzheimer's by releasing a substance called GCSF that helps sweep beta-amyloid deposits out of your brain- the plaque buildup seen in Alzheimer's coffee fends off parkinson's. Why isn't clear, but the finding is consistent; more coffee equals more protection.
Coffee fights diabetes. As coffee consumption goes up, diabetes risk goes down. More is better here, too: Risk drops about seven per cent with each daily cup.
No Time to brew a fresh pot/ No worries. Healthwise, instant holds its own because it starts out as brewed coffee and retains some of the healthy substances in brewed.
Also, there's a bonus. Instant has two- thirds more fibre. And that extra fibre helps your body absorb the other healthy goodies in coffee. So laugh off the coffee snobs. You know what they're missing.

I never knew coffee was actually good for you and can fight Alzheimer's disease! I better drink more coffee then I really like ice coffee with lots of creamy milk in it, I use to drink heaps but it gave me a bit of an upset stomach so I stopped. I guess it's alright if I drink coffee every now and then but not a whole 2 liter carton I love coffee, I simply love the taste and smell of it. That's why I love sitting in cafes to smell all the coffee and chocolate smells. I never realized how beneficial coffee really is, thanks for sharing all these juicy pieces of information. I might make myself a nice cup o coffee now.

Coffee always likes me; I wake up in the morning and I am driven to have coffee; it fills me with that adrenaline rush, that warm feeling that taste when I lift the cup of that warm steaming coffee; that smell is so delicious, I go crazy without coffee I need at least five or six cups a day to keep me happy; if I only have one or two cups a day I have headaches; the coffee is in my life, it keeps me strong and fueled with emotion; I like your post and its good to speak of the things we love ... coffee is great and can't live without it.
