The next time you enjoy a cup of coffee, enjoy the fact that it may be protecting your health.
If you're sensitive to caffeine, there's no doubt that drinking coffee, especially multiple cups of coffee, may have some adverse effects, such as nervousness, restlessness, stomach upset and insomnia.  And if you're a long-time, heavy coffee drinker and you suddenly quit, you may experience withdrawal symptoms like headaches, fatigue, confusion, and mild depression. These are all symptoms associated with caffeine, however, and they are likely to affect you only if you are sensitive to caffeine.
Coffee contains many chemicals other than caffeine, including some that appear to be good for you, such as disease-fighting antioxidants and anti-inflammatory substances. If you drink several cups a day without suffering side effects, you may well be reaping a variety of health benefits. Coffee does a few things you may not know about, such as:
Lowers blood sugar. And as a result, at least eight clinical studies have shown that heavy coffee drinkers are less likely to develop type 2 diabetes than nondrinkers and those who limit themselves to just one or two cups.
Protects against dementia and Parkinson's Diseases. Since type 2 diabetes is linked to dementia and coffee lowers the risk of developing diabetes, this may be the link.
Increases your resting metabolic rate. Your resting metabolic rate is the rate at which you burn calories when you're doing nothing more than sitting around breathing.

YAHOO!!! There are health benefits to my morning cups of COFFEE; which I love and hate. After all, Yes, I know about Caffeine sensitivity, because I have it to some degree, which is why I usually must limit drinking any cafeinated beverage to the am hours or else I better be able to 'burn off' the caffeine or else I will pay for it later, when the caffeine comes back to 'haunt' me: otherwise known as I can/ will fall asleep, but I will not stay asleep. When this happens, I usually wake up around 1-2 am and not be able to go back to sleep, which I really hate doing, because then I risk drinking too much coffee the next day to make up for it and risk the same thing happening the next night and then I am stuck in a most vicious cycle, which I have found to be easier to avoid than to get off of.
