Headline Telegraph: Coffee ‘gives more antioxidants than fruit and veg’

“Americans get more of their antioxidants from coffee than any other dietary source - nothing else comes close,” said study leader Professor Joe Vinson, from Scranton University in Pennsylvania. He was presenting his findings at the American Chemical Society’s annual meeting in Washington DC.

The findings in the US probably reflect a similar trend in the UK, where people drink about 70 million cups of coffee each day.
