“Coffee contains a number of compounds with antioxidant properties, and previous research has shown that coffee and coffee extracts may reduce DNA damage in colon cells and white blood cells. Findings of this randomized controlled trial detail the effects of daily coffee consumption on DNA damage in healthy adults.”

“When the researchers adjusted for both caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee intake, the timing of coffee drinking still mattered. These findings suggest that drinking coffee earlier in the day offers more health benefits than drinking it over the course of the day.”

“The investigators assessed the participants' flow-mediated dilation and nitroglycerine-induced vasodilation and collected information about their coffee intake. They assigned the participants to one of two groups: coffee consumers and non-consumers.”

“Participants were at least 20 years old and had completed a detailed dietary recall interview. The researchers linked coffee consumption—whether caffeinated or decaffeinated, with or without added sugar and fat—to death records in the National Death Index.”

“Overall, there was no consistent evidence of harmful associations between coffee consumption and health outcomes, except for those related to pregnancy and for risk of fracture in women. Interesting observation that warrants future clinical research to establish causation.”

“The study involved nearly 35,000 women enrolled in the Swedish Mammography Cohort. The women, who had no history of cardiovascular disease or cancer at the time of their enrollment, completed questionnaires about their coffee consumption and other lifestyle habits.”

“Findings from a new study suggest that drinking coffee reduces the risk of colorectal cancer metastasis. Coffee contains a multitude of polyphenolic compounds that appear to exert beneficial health effects, including quercetin, chlorogenic acid, and others.”

“These findings suggest that drinking caffeinated coffee protects against Parkinson's disease. However, coffee is also rich in other bioactive compounds, including polyphenols, alkaloids, and others – many of which exert potent neuroprotective effects.”

“Researchers analyzed data from more than 172,000 participants enrolled in the UK Biobank who had no cardiometabolic diseases at the start. Participants reported their coffee, tea, and caffeine consumption; about half provided blood samples for metabolic marker analysis.”

“Eleven healthy men drank a beverage that contained either polyphenols from tea (catechins) and coffee (chlorogenic acids) or a placebo every day for three weeks. Both beverages provided 119 milligrams of caffeine – a little more than the amount present in one cup of coffee.”
