Benefits of coffee: Lowering disease risk
The various ingredients in coffee add up to a drink that is greater than the sum of its parts. Drinking java on the regular has been shown to decrease the risk of several illnesses:
Type 2 diabetes: Multiple studies found that regular coffee consumption lowers the odds of developing Type 2 diabetes. That’s true for decaf as well as the high-octane variety.
Neurological diseases: Regular daily caffeine intake — like the kind you get from your daily cuppa — is linked to a lower risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease as well as Parkinson’s disease.
Liver disease: Coffee seems to protect against liver cirrhosis in people at risk of the disease, such as those with alcohol use disorder or fatty liver disease.
Cancer: Researchers have found that coffee drinkers have a lower risk of liver cancer and colorectal cancer — two of the leading causes of cancer deaths in the world.
Depression: That pick-me-up you get from a foamy cappuccino may not be a figment of your imagination. Several studies have found that the more coffee a person drinks, the lower their risk of depression.

In December 2022, Phase I of the GCPS Discipline Task Force brought together a cross-section of internal and external stakeholders charged with providing recommendations for midcourse corrections to Policy JCDI implementation.
While this information was shared with teachers and school staff before students returned on Thursday, January 5, we want to ensure that all members of Team GCPS are aware of this work and the updates that have been made to the Handbook Information for Students & Families on our website:
The primary GCPS Discipline Task Force goals were to:
- Ensure that stakeholder feedback and voice are heard and reflected in any decision regarding Policy JCDI moving forward.
- Identify strengths and challenges of policy JCDI.
- Review the current rule-level assignments and provide recommendations for changes as needed.
- Provide recommendations for professional development regarding policy JCDI.
The Task Force’s feedback will be used to develop a matrix for the five levels.
Thank you to those of you who participated on the Task Force, provided feedback, or had staff, community members, parents, and/or students represent your schools and clusters. The insights provided were highly beneficial and solution-oriented, and it was a perfect example of what we can accomplish when we make intentional efforts to work together! We have included a list of top themes from the Phase 1 Task Force Recommendations on our website.
