    Hmmm. Good find Beanz. Apparently coffee and tea are the largest source of dietary chlorogenic acid but there are many others, including tobacco.

    Questions arising is whether the 2% of chlorogenic acid in an apple is more or less than the 4% in a cuppa and should we always drink black coffee rather than milk ... or should we give it up (reading , that is ).

      Data can be manipulated and collated to prove anything. Is this peer reviewed?

      Best takeaway from this is that light roasted coffee trumps dark roast, so delicious light roasted filter coffee has the best health benefits. Cheers.

        It follows logically from the function of milk in coffee which is to fine out the phenolics (the proteins in milk (caseins) bind irreversibly to many phenolics which is why skim milk was a popular fining agent in white wines).
