Many people believe that dark roast coffee is not good for them as it contains more caffeine, however this is incorrect as the amount of caffeine depends on both type of bean and roasting process. Arabica beans typically have one to five percent caffeine in them while Robusta beans typically contain two percent or more, or between 232 to 800mg in caffeine content based on weight.

Though all types of coffee contain antioxidants, light and dark roasted beans have different concentrations of them. Dark roast coffee beans boast higher concentrations of chlorogenic acid (CGA). This powerful polyphenol antioxidant can reduce inflammation while supporting weight loss by blocking certain enzymes that digest fat. Furthermore, CGA has other benefits as well – strengthening immunity, improving complexion and even decreasing heart disease risk! While drinking coffee daily may be important, be wary not to exceed the daily recommended caffeine consumption which stands at 400mg.

If you’re concerned about potential side effects associated with coffee consumption, such as high blood pressure or nervousness, try cutting back to no more than 4-6 cups a day so you can still reap its positive health benefits without experiencing negative ones. This way you’ll still benefit from all its positive attributes without worry over potential side effects.

Dark roast coffee is an excellent source of niacin (vitamin B3) which helps control cholesterol levels while supporting proper nerve and digestive function. Niacin can be found in foods such as whole grains, nuts, fruits and vegetables.

Dark roast coffee may also help decrease your risk of type 2 diabetes, according to research published in Diabetologica journal. Researchers tracked nearly 124,000 individuals over four years and discovered those who drank one cup daily had 17% lower risks of developing the condition than those who didn’t consume coffee at all.

Dark roast coffee may help lower your risk of gall bladder disease, liver cirrhosis and Parkinson’s disease. Plus it contains lots of riboflavin for cell growth and development!

Finally, drinking dark roast coffee can also boost both energy and concentration levels. It increases glutathione and vitamin E concentrations – antioxidants which protect cells against oxidative stress and contribute to healthy skin – as well as aiding weight loss, improving digestion and preventing heartburn or acid reflux. If you suffer from stomach issues like indigestion or acid reflux, dark roast coffee contains N-methylpyridinium compounds that suppress stomach acid production from cells lining your stomach; in addition, dark roast is less acidic due to being roasted longer with higher percentage of soluble fiber content present than light roast counterparts due to longer roasting times as well as higher percentage of soluble fiber present due to longer roasting times being more acidic.
