Abstract
Coffee has a long way from cultivation to use, and a history of thousands of years. Its qualities were initially attributed to caffeine, but research has identified multiple bioactive compounds with health effects. Clinical studies seek answers to questions related to the effects on longevity, metabolism, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, neuropsychological and cancer diseases. Future research is needed to recommend consumption and optimal quantity for preventive or curative purposes. This article reviews issues related to the history of coffee, its processing, chemical composition, relationship with gastrointestinal diseases and anticarcinogenic effects.
