Coffee contains over 1,000 different compounds that have health benefits and reduce the risk of dying.

One of these compounds is a powerful antioxidant called Polyphenols, which has the amazing ability to control gene expression. This means most of the fundamental processes of a cell are regulated by polyphenols, including when to react to chemical signals, when to replicate and when to die. Some of the chemical signals include tissue repair, homeostasis and immunity. Impaired signaling can cause type 2 diabetes, cancer, stroke and heart disease.

Chlorogenic acid, a polyphenol abundant in coffee, reduces chronic inflammation related to aging, such as atherosclerosis and diabetes. A recent study on deaths from stroke and coronary heart disease showed a significant reduction by those who consumed coffee.

Another benefit from chlorogenic acid is protecting cells against damage which can lead to cancer.

In America the second leading cause of death in women is breast cancer, which studies have shown receptive to coffee consumption. Those who drank 5 or more cups a day showed a 57% reduction of high risk breast cancer, estrogen-receptor negative.

Chlorigenic acid also protects men against prostate cancer, the second leading cause of death in men. Studies show men who consume 6 cups a day showed an 18% reduction of prostate cancer and a 60% decrease in fatal and aggressive cancer.

Other Polyphenols found in coffee help with the function of fat cells and liver, reducing the impact of diabetes and obesity. Studies have shown coffee is the largest source of antioxidants and beneficial polyphenols in our diets.
