People are shocked when I say I need my cup of coffee after every meal, even after dinner. I even take a last cup just before going to bed. Most everyone said I had an unhealthy habit.

ÒCoffee can be good for you…and the stronger, the better,Ó according to Chiara Trombetti, a dietician of the Humanitas Gavazzeni institute in the northern Italian town of Bergamo.
