According to the latest research, in addition to its refreshing effect, caffeine antioxidants can also fight against harmful free radicals, which is good for human health. Researchers say, experiments show that caffeine antioxidants look for free radicals associated with Alzheimer's disease and heart disease, and then destroy them.

Free radicals are molecules of body cells that attack healthy cells and may cause damage and disease, while antioxidants can fight these free radicals and help health. Coffee is one of the foods rich in antioxidants, but people have limited knowledge about antioxidants against free radicals.

According to Jorge Rafael Leon-Carmona of the University of Autnoma Metropolitana-Iztapalapa in Mexico, there are five different theoretical mechanisms for evaluating the chemical reactions between antioxidants and free radicals in caffeine; they found that the mechanism of "free radical adduct formation (RAF)" is the main mechanism by which caffeine protects against free radical damage, which is consistent with previous animal studies.

The researchers said the results showed that "caffeine is the main source of antioxidants in coffee."
