Drink to Your Health - Fire Side Coffee

"Two to four cups of coffee a day may lower the risk of liver disease, cancer, clogged arteries, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's and diabetes, according to a report presented recently at the New York Academy of Sciences. Coffee experts say that each cup is actually a complex mixture of active compounds, including healthful antioxidants." Editor's Note: This was news to me. I believe the source of this claim isCoffeeScience.org.
