Research published in The European Journal of Preventive Cardiology says drinking coffee everyday reduces your risk of heart disease or death. They found that of the 449,563 participants, those who drank two to three cups had the least risk of heart disease or death compared to non-coffee drinkers. All kinds of coffee were beneficial, but ground coffee was the clear winner, reducing the death risk by 27%. While most of us drink the brew for a shot of the last legal mind-altering drug caffeine, the finding suggest coffee’s non-caffeinated compounds are primarily responsible for its health-boosting benefits.
The best part is that a home brewed cup of coffee that costs between 30 and 40 cents is just as effective as a $12.00 venti mocha half-caf Americano long black macchiato with a flat white affogato cappuccino colonic. So brew a cup at home and leave the posh coffee for egomaniacal would-be influencers that boost their self-worth by berating a starving actor barista for too much foam, not enough whip or forgetting the second shot of peppermint.
Besides, according to the #1 authority on coffee I make a better cup than Starbucks and Linda is completely impartial and has no reason to lie!
