New reports have been released on several research results about the antioxidant benefits of Coffee. For years now there have been multitudes of cautions about the consumption of Coffee and the caffeine content it has. Here is just one, found on Wikipedia; 1 cup of coffee a day is good for you because it has anti-oxidants in it but more than 1 cup has disadvantages since it's a stimulant and a diuretic meaning you'll always be in a fight and flight mode meaning your body is constantly tense and the latter means you'll be losing more water in your body... it can also stain your teeth making it yellowish.
First to address the issue of the effects Coffee has on an individual’s teeth, consider drinking your Coffee through a straw, which assists the avid Coffee drinker by sucking this wonderful aromatic drink past the teeth, towards the back of the mouth. This will alleviate some of the staining issues, while allowing your taste buds to enjoy themselves to the fullest extent.
According to Bottom Line Secrets, http://bit.ly/zysLht reports recently released tout that 5 or more cups of Coffee is actually healthy for you. *“The reason being is the antioxidants found in Coffee. People who drink coffee regularly are less likely to have a stroke or get diabetes or Parkinson’s disease than those who don’t drink it. There’s even some evidence that coffee can help prevent cancer, although the link between coffee and various cancers is preliminary and still being investigated.”
Despite the cautions by many in the Medical industry regarding caffeine, researchers have showed that the caffeine found in Coffee plays a role in lessening the risk factors for Parkinsons Diesease, and Alzheimers Dimentia related diseases. The study quoted consisted of 1,400 individuals involved in this study over the course of about 20 years. The results indicated that by consuming three to five cups daily, that there was a marked reduction of dimentia and Alzheimer’s by 65% compared to individuals that consumed little or no Coffee at all.

Although Coffee contains many bioactive compounds in it’s makeup, the most essential active ingredient is Polyphenols. Polyphenols can be found in fruits, vegetables and Green Tea, and have healthful properties that Science and the Medical industry does not dispute, but confirms the validity of these findings.
