In an article written in 2007, it is shown that in the past 60 years, coffee consumption has declined by about half as soft drink consumption has quadrupled. This is an interesting fact, as it suggests that folks are replacing coffee with soda. This information is quite troubling to me and I could argue that this large increase in soda consumption is involved in our country's rapid increase in obesity and diabities, but I will leave this discussion for another time.
I am sure most have heard someone say the phrase "Everything is good in moderation". Well, as it may not be exactly true with everything, Harvard Health states that research has proved that this stands true for coffee consumption. In fact, instead of health risks, it may contain some health benefits. Check it out for yourself.
For a bit more detail, take a look at this article on WebMD.
Just remember to buy the Organic kind and even Hawaiian if you are feeling truley American!
