Grounds For Celebration

Since there are so many bad habits to feel guilty about, it's awfully nice when one of those vices actually turns out to be something of a virtue. Take coffee: Over the years, it has been accused of causing everything from birth defects to breast cancer.

Now, with thousands of medical studies showing little or no adverse health effects from coffee, all the decades of nay saying are finally coming to a close. In fact, there are a number of proven benefits to partaking in a quality daily cup or two of joe:

Coffee and colon cancer. Coffee drinking may lower your risk of colon cancer by up to 25 percent because of its ability to help keep you regular.

Coffee and kidney stones. Two observational studies found that regular coffee intake reduced the risk of developing kidney stones.

Coffee and asthma. People with asthma who drink coffee can have up to 25 percent fewer symptoms because one of the compounds in coffee - theophylline - acts as a bronchodilator.

Coffee and skin cancer. Other diseases that coffee may help prevent: cirrhosis of the liver, Parkinson's disease, skin cancer, and gallstones.

Now, this doesn't mean that you should measure your daily coffee consumption in gallons. But research shows that three or four cups a day (under two cups for pregnant women) aren't going to do any harm. And drinking high-grade quality might just do some good.
