Coffee is a beverage that has been the subject of much fascination throughout the centuries. It is consumed daily by 90% of French people. Yet many consumers feel guilty because numerous misconceptions still perpetuate a negative bias against coffee, undoubtedly inherited from previous centuries.

Based on numerous well-controlled scientific studies, this book attempts to summarize our current knowledge on the effects of coffee on health. The most recent studies report many beneficial effects from consuming 2 to 4 cups of coffee daily.

Thus, this book shows that coffee:

- increases alertness and attention, concentration, energy but can in turn disrupt sleep in sensitive individuals;
- improves mood and provides a feeling of well-being;
- has an analgesic effect in headaches and migraines;
- maintains better cognition during aging;
- reduces the risk of developing Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, stroke or type 2 diabetes;
- is not bad for the heart;
- is protective against liver, breast, prostate and endometrial cancer;
- does not alter our hydration level;
- can be consumed in moderate doses during pregnancy;
- has beneficial activities in endurance and team sports.

This book shows that coffee can perfectly fit into a healthy and balanced diet. Consumed in reasonable amounts, coffee can safely continue to delight its lovers, without any qualms or guilt.
