How Do the Antioxidants in Coffee Measure Up?

You may have heard by now that coffee is full of antioxidants, which provide the benefit of neutralizing free radical damage in the body. Simply put, this has the potential to stop disease and illness, and also prevent wrinkles and premature aging.

To break it down for you, the average American drinks 1.64 cups of coffee per day. This simple coffee consumption offers 1299 mg of antioxidants daily, which is compared to the same amount offered by tea at only 294 mg. It is recommended to eat a diet rich in antioxidants, which includes whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. Still, bananas only provide 76 mg of antioxidants, dried beans at 72 mg, and corn at 48 mg. That is a significant difference when you compare it to the generous health payoff offered by your daily cup of Joe!

The numbers don't lie...
