Subject: two sides to coffee

NPR has a report that coffee has an extremely high level of antioxidants,
which makes lots of us coffee drinkers happy. I have had several inquiries
about it. I heard the same report on NPR, and I know it is correct that
coffee contains lots of antioxidants. However, on the downside, it appears
to cause damage to at least one part of the circulatory system.

Look at the link to the article by Charalambos Vlachopoulo et al - Chronic
coffee consumption has a detrimental effect on aortic stiffness

I indulge in up to 2 cups of coffee per day, and then try to go to tea,
especially green tea. Tea also is full of antioxidants and has some
caffiene, but is full of other molecules that are great for us.
