Espresso and instant coffee also provide substantial protective effects at moderate consumption levels.”

“and overall health. Filtered coffee methods eliminate cholesterol-raising compounds while preserving antioxidants that actively repair DNA and reduce inflammation. And while caffeine offers unique neuroprotective and cognitive benefits, even decaf coffee contributes powerful bioactive compounds that nourish our gut microbiome.”
