Plenty of health benefits are brewing in America's beloved beverage. By Sid Kirchheimer WebMD FeatureReviewed by Michael W. Smith, MDWant a drug that could lower your risk of diabetes, Parkinson's disease, and colon cancer? That could lift your mood and treat headaches? That could lower your risk of cavities? If it sounds too good to be true, think again. Coffee, the much maligned but undoubtedly beloved beverage, just made headlines for possibly cutting the risk of the latest disease epidemic, type 2 diabetes. And the real news seems to be that the more you drink, the better. Reducing Disease Risk After analyzing data on 126,000 people for as long as 18 years, Harvard researchers calculate that compared with not partaking in America's favorite morning drink, downing one to three cups of caffeinated coffee daily can reduce diabetes risk by single digits. But having six cups or more each day slashed men's risk by 54% and women's by 30% over java avoiders. Though the scientists give the customary "more research is needed" before they recommend you do overtime at Starbuck's to specifically prevent diabetes, their findings are very similar to those in a less-publicized Dutch study. And perhaps more importantly, it's the latest of hundreds of studies suggesting that coffee may be something of a health food -- especially in higher amounts. In recent decades, some 19,000 studies have been done examining coffee's impact on health. And for the most part, their results are as pleasing as a gulp of freshly brewed Breakfast Blend for the 108 million Americans who routinely enjoy this traditionally morning -- and increasingly daylong -- ritual. In practical terms, regular coffee drinkers include the majority of U.S. adults and a growing number of children. "Overall, the research shows that coffee is far more healthful than it is harmful," says Tomas DePaulis, PhD, research scientist at Vanderbilt University's Institute for Coffee Studies, which conducts its own medical research and tracks coffee studies from around the world. "For most people, very little bad comes from drinking it, but a lot of good." Consider this: At least six studies indicate that people who drink coffee on a regular basis are up to 80% less likely to develop Parkinson's, with three showing the more they drink, the lower the risk. Other research shows that compared to not drinking coffee, at least two cups daily can translate to a 25% reduced risk of colon cancer, an 80% drop in liver cirrhosis risk, and nearly half the risk of gallstones. Coffee even offsets some of the damage caused by other vices, some research indicates. "People who smoke and are heavy drinkers have less heart disease and liver damage when they regularly consume large amounts of coffee compared to those who don't," says DePaulis. There's also some evidence that coffee may help manage asthma and even control attacks when medication is unavailable, stop a headache, boost mood, and even prevent cavities. Is it the caffeine? The oodles of antioxidants in coffee beans, some of which become especially potent during the roasting process? Even other mysterious properties that warrant this intensive study? Actually, yes. Some of coffee's reported benefits are a direct result of its higher caffeine content: An eight ounce cup of drip-brewed coffee contains about 85 mg -- about three and a half times more than the same serving of tea or cola or one ounce of chocolate. "The evidence is very strong that regular coffee consumption reduces risk of Parkinson's disease and for that, it's directly related to caffeine," DePaulis tells WebMD. "In fact, Parkinson's drugs are now being developed that contain a derivative of caffeine based on this evidence." Caffeine is also what helps in treating asthma and headaches. Though not widely publicized, a single dose of pain reliever such as Anacin or Excedrin contains up to 120 milligrams -- what's in a hefty mug o' Joe.

I like Sumatran coffee and Kona coffee the best. I think they impart the most flavors. -Jojo

Kona Coffee Kona coffee is a gourmet, highly-prized coffee grown only on the island of Hawaii, in the Kona region. There are only a small number of Kona coffee plantations -- most of them family-owned for many generations. The volcanic soils and heavy rains of the region help to create the magic of Kona coffee. Kona coffee has a wonderful full-bodied flavor and and a delightful aroma. Types of Kona coffee After being hand-picked, Kona coffee is graded according to size, shape and color. The various grades are more or less prized and expensive based on their perceived quality. Pearberry is the very best type of Kona coffee. Only 5%-10% of the annual harvest is of the Pearberry variety. Top grades of Kona coffee in descending order are extra fancy, fancy, No. 1, and prime. Kona coffee marked as "Kona blend" contain only 10% real Kona coffee (and the cheapest beans at that). These blends are simply not comparable to the real thing. What makes Kona coffee special? The environment of the Kona district is what makes the coffee so special. The combination of rich volcanic soils, lots of rainfall, the mountainside geography combined with afternoon cloudcover create the unique flavor that is Kona coffee. Where to find Kona coffee Kona coffee is available at nearly every gourmet coffee supplier. It is highly valued, though, and the best Kona coffee commands premium prices. You can order Kona coffee online. Remember to pay attention to the grade and make sure you're getting the very best -- or at least that you're getting the grade of Kona coffee you're paying for.
