Coffee

I love coffee. The stronger the better. I love the different creamers for coffee, Irish cream, hazelnut, cinnamon dolce, and caramel are my favs. There have been many studies on coffee and it's been said in some research it's good for you and in other studies it's not.


Some researchers found these benefits in coffee:

  • lowers risk of Parkinson's disease, diabetes, as well as colon cancer
  • lifts your mood
  • relieve headaches
  • could lower your risk of getting cavities

Well you decide. Know your body, what works for you, and what doesn't. Most things in life is not a one size fits all. What may be medicine for one person can be poison to the next. It tastes great. But do the benefits outweigh the bad?
