Here's an article about the benefits to the gallbladder and liver to be had by consuming coffee because it contains Chlorogenic Acids.

However, if you want an easy way of getting this substance, apparently you can buy Chlorogenic Acid tablets.

“coffee drinkers may be less likely to develop type 2 diabetes, stroke, depression, death from any cause, and neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s”

What's ironic is that I know a dozen people with type 2 diabetes and Alzheimer’s and these people won't start the day without a cup of coffee. Most of the articles I always read about the benefits of coffee is from 4-5 cups, which I think is just an over stimulate at that point.

I honestly don't know many tea drinkers at least here in the USA, so it's hard to compare.

I know quite a few people with type II diabetes and they won't start their day without a bag of fast food.

I start my day with a cup of coffee with heavy cream, followed by cottage cheese and blueberries.
