Immune modulation in response to coffee intake: a pilot study
These findings provide novel in vivo evidence that usual coffee and caffeine acutely affects cytokine responses differently in healthy individuals. In conclusion, our study addresses an important gap regarding the immune properties of coffee and suggests that bioactive compounds beyond caffeine contribute substantially to its immunological effects.
