AS GOD INTENDED:
Coffee Fights Disease and Extends Your Life, Especially if You Drink It This Way: Coffee is the ultimate superfood, especially if you know the right way to drink it. (Geoffrey James, 8/02/18, Inc.com)
As I explained last month, a meta-analysis of 127 studies revealed that drinking two to four 8-ounce cups of coffee each day results in enormous health benefits. The consensus of these studies is that coffee:Reduces your risk of cancer up to 20 percent.Reduces your risk of Type 2 diabetes by 30 percent.Reduces your risk of Parkinson's disease by 30 percent.Reduces your risk for heart disease by 5 percent.That alone is enough to qualify coffee as a superfood, but there's more to it than that. Almost all of the 127 studies tracked coffee-drinkers versus non-coffee-drinkers without regard for HOW the coffee-drinkers take their coffee.In other words, some percentage--probably a pretty large percentage--of the coffee-drinkers in those studies drink coffee with sugar, creamer, and artificial flavorings. As a result, the potential reduction in heart disease is probably much, much larger than 5 percent. [...][I]f you gradually accustom yourself to drinking your coffee black, the health benefits go through the roof.
