Are You Drinking Enough Coffee?

Are you drinking enough coffee?...Probably not. The nation's top panel on nutrition  says drinking moderate amounts of coffee has very real health benefits. The Washington Post reports, coffee has often gotten a bad rap, with people saying it's bad for your health. This latest report says the opposite is apparently true. The panel determined "Moderate" (3-5 cups per day) consumption of coffee can actually reduce the risk of both  cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. Nutritionist Tom Brenna, with Cornell University said,  “I don’t want to get into implying coffee cures cancer -- nobody thinks that, but there is no evidence for increased risk, if anything, the other way around.” The average American drinks 2-3 cups per day. I drink 4 cups per day. It clears the cobwebs out of my brain in the morning & helps keep me regular. I'm drinking one as I write this.
