The latest estimate is that about 50 percent of American adults consume coffee on a daily basis. After oil, it’s the second most traded commodity in the country.  No question that coffee is a big deal. 

But unlike many of our other favorite foods, coffee may actually make us healthier. 

Point of clarification:  We’re talking about straight-up black coffee.  “Coffees” laced with sugar, whole milk, syrup and whipped cream will not do your body any favors.
