Resumo (PT): Coffee is widely consumed and appreciated all over the world, both for their stimulating effect and organoleptic characteristics. Due to its complex chemical composition and the factors involving brews preparation, the consumer is exposed to a wide range of chemical compounds. Several investigations aimed to clarify and understand coffee health effects. There is no evidence that moderate consumption could be harmful. On the contrary, some benefits and possible protective effects against several pathologies have been suggested. This review compiles the main conclusions related with the “coffee and health” topic, reporting, when possible, the chemicals involved. <br> <br> Keywords: coffee; health; review. <br> <a target="_blank" href=" http://www.scielo.br/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S0100-40422009000800031&lng=en&nrm=iso&tlng=pt"> Texto integral </a> <br> <br>
