The Benefits of Coffee

Women who avoid coffee increase their risk of breast cancer.  Studies show that women who drink 5 cups of regular or decaf coffee daily are 57% less likely to develop a difficult to treat type of breast cancer known as non-hormone receptive breast cancer than those who rarely drank coffee.  The study was in the journal Breast Cancer Research.  Not every woman enjoys coffee nor may drink 5 cups daily, but the study shows even small amounts have a strong protective effect.  Coffee is loaded with antioxidants that protect cells from free radical damage.  Don’t like coffee?  Try ¼ to 1/2 cup berries daily or pure grape juice concentrate.
