Coffee, like other beans, is loaded to the hilt with antioxidants, particularly once it’s hyper-concentrated, and the roasting and brewing process eliminates all the mechanisms beans normally use to avoid animals wanting to eat them. | ||

- coffee seeds are not actually 'beans' - caffeine is the main mechanism it uses to deter pests like insects, definitely not removed in the roasting and brewing process - like many fruits, they're sweet and nutritious, encouraging larger animals to eat it - the stuff marketed as dietary antioxidants still hasn't been shown to improve anything what are you talking about | ||
