Read the following passage carefully: 

If you are addicted to coffee and doctors warn you to quit the habit, don’t worry and just keep relishing the  beverage, because it is not that bad after all! In fact, according to a new study, the steaming cup of Java can beat  fruits and vegetables as the primary source of antioxidants. Some studies state that coffee is the number one  source of antioxidants in the American diet, and both caffeinated and decaf versions appear to provide similar  antioxidant levels.

Antioxidants, in general, have been linked to a number of potential health benefits, including protection against  heart diseases and cancer, but Vinson, a dietician said that their benefits ultimately depend on how they are  absorbed and utilised in the body. The research says that coffee outranks popular antioxidant sources like tea,  milk, chocolate and cranberries. Of all the foods and beverages studied, dates actually have the most antioxidants  based solely on the serving size, but since dates are not consumed anywhere near the level of coffee, the drink  comes as the top source of antioxidants, Vinson said. 

Besides keeping you alert and awake, coffee has been linked to an increasing number of potential health benefits,  including protection against liver and colon cancer, type 2 diabetes and Parkinson’s disease, according to some  recently published studies. 

The researchers, however, advise that one should consume coffee in moderation, because it can make you jittery  and cause stomach pains.
