Hi George,

Coffee comes from the coffee 'bean' and like any other bean, the
coffee bean does contain nutrients including vitamins, minerals, fiber,
and antioxidants.

There was a report a few years back that said coffee was the leading
source of antioxdiants in the American diet. However, the reason
this was so is not because coffee is such a rich source of antioxidants
but because many Americans consume lots of coffee and very few
fruits and vegeteables. Coffee won on quantity not quality.

Here are some of my discussions on coffee..
