Is coffee good for you or is it still bad for you?

We've been told coffee is bad for a long time.  That is causes the jitters, keeps us awake and can lead to high blood pressure.

Now new studies are showing coffee might actually have some good effects.  Those range from helping us avoid  centain cancers to just making us feel better and happier.  So which is it?  Is coffee bad or good for us?

We can laugh at all the studies and their seemingly lack of science back up with facts, which seems to often be the case.  However, some  of the new studies may be on to something.

They are pointing out there are some good things in coffee that can be beneficial such as potassium, magnesium and vitamin  E and perhaps some acids that could be antioxidants.  Those can help protect against cell damage.

All I know is I love it.  Knowing a cup awaits me helps me get up every morning at 5:30 AM Central Time.  And I really do look forward to that afternoon cup.
