Uncle Uno (hey, we\u2019re Finnish; we\u2019ve got funny names) is sitting across the table from me as the various dishes are passed around. Uno partakes liberally of the meat and carb dishes, but passes on the salad. He actually swears at the green beans as they glide by. He practically threatens to take up arms against the rutabaga casserole.<\/p>\n<p>Yep, even rutabaga, a Finnish staple!<\/p>\n<p>Uno clearly doesn\u2019t like fruits or vegetables (except for boiled potatoes), yet, surprisingly, he appears healthy. He\u2019s lean, energetic, and he doesn\u2019t have any chronic diseases or ailments, and I can\u2019t remember him ever being sick.<\/p>\n<p>But what Uno does partake of, liberally, is coffee. You rarely see him without a cup in his hand. Most of us think it\u2019s a form of ballast and if you took the coffee cup away from him, he\u2019d float back to Finland, shaking his fist at all of us as he drifted away.<\/p>\n<p>You probably have an Uno or two or three in your life.<\/p>\n<p>That predilection may well be what\u2019s kept Uno and others like him healthy. He doesn\u2019t know it, but coffee is as nutritionally valuable as practically any vegetable, something that should be given the same respect as kale, chard, lima beans, broccoli, or any of the other traditional powerhouse vegetables nutritionists (including me) are always attempting to shove down your throat.<\/p>\n<p>Coffee is probably the main supplier of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.t-nation.com\/supplements\/polyphenols-foods-health-benefits-supplements\/\">polyphenols<\/a> in the American diet, and probably the rest of the world\u2019s diets, too. Accordingly, it\u2019s one of the healthiest things you can pour down your gullet.<\/p>\n<p>Its benefits are diverse, but as is the case with most healthful things, there are conditions attached. Let\u2019s look at some of those benefits first before we start looking at any possible negative attributes (and how to remedy them).<\/p>\n<p>  What Are The Health Benefits Of Coffee? <\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ve probably all heard that drinking coffee can reduce \u201call-cause mortality,\u201d but what the hell does that even mean? Surely coffee can\u2019t protect you from getting hit by a runaway ten-wheeler, your last conscious moments spent watching a pair of speeding chrome mudflap girls flutter away from your flattened body. Neither can coffee keep you from falling into an open manhole cover, can it?<\/p>\n<p>Well, epidemiologically speaking, it can.<\/p>\n<p>All-cause mortality means just that, death from any cause. Granted, coffee doesn\u2019t protect you from accidents, but when you factor in its protective effects from the big killers like heart disease, diabetes, and cancer, it does indeed lower overall death numbers, accidents be damned.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019re also likely aware of new research that suggests drinking coffee was associated with significant reductions in cardiovascular disease (Chieng et al, 2022). Researchers identified three coffee subtypes \u2013 decaffeinated, ground, and instant \u2013 and divided drinkers into<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The List of Health Benefits is Long Having multiple cups of coffee is just as good \u2013 maybe better \u2013 than having several servings of vegetables.
