Coffee: Good or bad for your health?

source
I am sure you've heard that coffee was bad for you, and then you heard that coffee was good for you, and everything in between. To put this issue to rest, a new study came out, European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition –Germany study, that looked if there was a link between drinking coffee and increased risk for chronic diseases such as stroke, cancer, heart attack, or diabetes. The study comprised of 42,659 subjects and concluded, thankfully, that coffee  is not linked to any of those chronic diseases. 


This doesn't mean that you should drink 10 cups a day from Starbucks! You are not immune to the calories, sugar, and fat you get from your late or cappuccino. Also, this study is done over seas and weather it would be the same in the US is still uncertain. But for that 1 cup of coffee a day, I think you are ok.
