But That's Not All...

A grab-bag of other research suggests that coffee intake may relieve dry-eye syndrome by increasing tear production,[35] reduce the risk for gout,[36] and potentially fight infection.[37] Coffee and hot tea consumption were found to be protective against one of the medical community's most concerning bugs, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).[37] While it remains unclear whether the beverages have systemic antimicrobial activity, study participants who reported any consumption of either were approximately half as likely to have MRSA in their nasal passages.
