    Coffee has a long history dating back to the 17th century when it was brought to the New World and became a large commodity in the 18th century. While coffee can stimulate the central nervous system and improve attention, concentration, and memory, it also causes short term sleep disturbances and withdrawal symptoms like headaches. Research has found coffee may decrease the risk of certain cancers like liver and colorectal cancer.
