Coffee May Ward off Lethal Prostate Cancer
May 23, 2011

Coffee is rich in anti-oxidants, so the information is not surprising, but hardly constitutes a good study. The results are encouraging, however. There was a randomized, blinded, prospective study involving consumption of blueberries in childhood lukemia (in addition of course to regular treatment) that showed positive results.

There is very little harm to consuming anti-oxidants and hedging one's bets is probably wise.

I had a sip of it once and found it disgusting. If it has some health benefits just find out which active ingredients are needed and turn it in to a pill.

I got so tired of using instant coffee and decided to try out a Keurig brewer that so many people like. It's been a more delicious experience.
