There is so much press about Coffee and antioxidants based on a new study that was recently released. However, before everyone goes out and purchases their next ga-zillion pounds of coffee…understand that drinking coffee should not be your souce of anti-oxidants. In part the article reads:
===========================
Presenting his findings to a meeting of the American Chemical Society in Washington, Vinson said this did not mean that coffee was necessarily the best source of antioxidants.
“Unfortunately, consumers are still not eating enough fruits and vegetables, which are better for you from an overall nutritional point of view due to their higher content of vitamins, minerals and fiber,” he said.
Dates, cranberries and red grapes have high concentrations of antioxidants, he said.
But Americans do not eat much of these foods.
