Coffee’s health promoting properties are likely due to the antioxidants naturally occurring in the coffee bean.

• A typical serving of coffee contains more antioxidants than typical servings of grape juice, blueberries, raspberries, and oranges.
• Antioxidants in coffee may also help to reduce inflammation, which in turn can reduce the risk of many related health disorders. 

Most of the above studies showed that caffeinated coffee had the greatest benefits.

This is due to many of the antioxidants being removed during the decaffeination process.
