Why is there resistance to the idea that coffee benefits your health?
Here’s why.
Almost thirty years ago researchers at Harvard University announced a connection
between coffee consumption and cancer.
A few years later they retracted the study and recognized that the findings were flawed.
However, since that first study and the media frenzy that followed, coffee has been
labeled with the stigma of being unhealthy.
In fact, nothing could be further from the truth.
As you can see from the links to other pages at the end of this page, coffee can help in
the prevention and treatment of diseases and illnesses as varied as Alzheimer's
disease, diabetes, liver disease, skin cancer, Parkinsons's disease and more.

Coffee Health Risks: For the moderate drinker, coffee is safe says Harvard Women’s
Health Watch.
Despite 20 years of reassuring research, many people still avoid caffeinated coffee
because they worry about its health effects. However, current research reveals that in
moderation—a few cups a day—coffee is a safe beverage that may even offer some
health benefits. The September issue of Harvard Women's Health Watch weighs the
pros and cons of this popular beverage and eases the concerns of moderate coffee
drinkers.
The latest research has not only confirmed that moderate coffee consumption doesn't
cause harm, it's also uncovered possible benefits. Coffee may reduce the risk of
developing gallstones, discourage the development of colon cancer, improve cognitive
function, reduce the risk of liver damage in people at high risk for liver disease, and
reduce the risk of Parkinson's disease. Coffee has also been shown to improve
endurance performance in long-duration physical activities.
