How useful is it to drink coffee black? Each day, I usually drink one mug full of 3/4 coffee and 1/4 unsweetened-soymilk. Would it be better to drink a full mug of black coffee, not diluted with soymilk?

During the past week or two, my nearest produce store has been selling blackberries for $0.99 per 18 ounces. This is a great price. I've been buying many of these low-price boxes of blackberries, and eating large quantities of them. However, this is a temporary (and very rare) sale. They're usually about $3 or $4 per pound, and frozen berries are only slightly cheaper. Are there some foods with higher antioxidant-to-price ratios than blackberries? Thank you.

A study that draws no conclusion besides "this might happen but we have limited research?" And one last study that talks about Rice bran? Claiming that the extremely minute amounts of inorganic arsenic might harm children dying of malnourishment? I will leave that there and go one with some other points.
