A thread on my favorite beverage? Wow.
I still have my native colon, and yes - all I have to do is smell it in the AM and it sends me right to the bathroom.
However, coffee is jam-packed full of antioxidants and flavonoids that function to help prevent/lower your cancer risk (of most GI-based malignancies). Head to www.pubmed.org and put the words "coffee cancer" in the search field. The results are very impressive.
Two cups a day for me, at least.
