I usually drink a pint of espresso every morning. Seeing articles such as this one is always heartening.
"Coffee, it seems, prevents or somehow leads to the repair of damaged
DNA, at least according to the findings of some researchers from
Bratislava. Their paper, published in The European Journal of Clinical
Nutrition, reported that drinking 500 ml of freshly brewed, dark roast
coffee every day for 4 weeks resulted in a 23% reduction in DNA "strand
breaks" (1).
Their study involved 100 healthy men and women recruited from a
general Central European population. The subjects were randomized into a
coffee group and a water group. (No double-blind placebo design was
necessary because we're all going with the assumption that DNA isn't
susceptible to the placebo effect.)
The scientists concluded that "...the regular consumption of a dark
roast blend has a beneficial protective effect on human DNA integrity in
both men and women.""
