Coffee Has Benefits In Lowering Cancer, Diabetes, Liver, Parkinson's And Other Diseases

Coffee is a drink made from the roasted ang ground beanlike seeds of a tropical shrub, served hot or iced.Coffee shows more antioxidants than green tea and cocoa.Scientists have identified approximately 1.000 antioxidants in unprocessed coffee beans, and hundreds more develop during the roasting process.

Coffee contains the essential nutrients like vitamin B2 (riboflavin), vitamin B3 (niavin), vitamin B5 ( pantothenic acid, potassium, manganese, and magnesium.

Roasting coffee transforms the chemical and physical properties of green coffee beans into roasted coffee product.The roasting process is what produces the characteristic of flavor of coffee by causing the green coffee beans to change in taste.Unroasted beans contain similar if not higher levels of acids, protein, sugars, and caffeine as those that have been roasted, but lack the taste of roasted coffee beans due to the Maillard and other chemical reactions that occur during roasting.

Coffee is healthy in two to three eight ounce cups per day considered moderate; heavy coffee drinkers consume four cups or more daily.Remember the amount of caffeine per coffee beverage varies depending on preparation and style of beverage.Eight ounces of brewed coffee may contain as little as 80 to as much as 200 mg of caffeine per cup (an average cup probably contains about 100 mg).
