Coffee may help the body fight stress and aging through a hidden cellular switch

Scientists may have uncovered one reason coffee is repeatedly associated with healthier aging and lower disease risk.

These protective effects disappeared when the receptor was removed, strengthening the connection. Surprisingly, plant-based compounds such as caffeic acid seemed far more active than caffeine itself.
