IV. Discourse Structure 10%Coffee drinkers have traditionally been warned about the ill effects of coffee drinking on one’s health.

Not only that but also many studies have concluded that coffee can actually be beneficial to one’s health. For example, coffee contains substances which can lower women’s risk for estrogen dependent cancer because of the manner in which these substances work upon estrogen levels.Coffee consumption can also lower the risk of many other debilitating diseases such as Diabetes 2, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, colon cancer and gallstones. The reason is that coffee contains caffeine and some of the benefits of coffee drinking are due to this kind of substance.(46) Although it is not a well-known fact, both Anacin and Excedrin, which are popular over the counter headache remedies, contain caffeine. Each dose of either of these has about 120 mgs of caffeine whereas an eight ounce mug of java contains only 85mg of caffeine.
