Whether Dunkin' Donuts, McDonald's, or the infamous giant Starbucks serves up your favorite cup-o-joe, the war of the coffee brands isn't over yet. Folgers, who has been quietly but steadily selling on supermarket shelves for years, has introduced a new "stomach friendly" decaffeinated coffee.

Simply Smooth came out last spring and is geared for those people who suffer heartburn or other stomach problems when they drink coffee.

Some experts seem to think it's all just myth when it comes to coffee causing stomach issues, and there seems to be conflicting data (as always, of course!) on where the truth really lies -- guess you'll just have to decide for yourself.

I swear, the news about coffee just keeps getting better and better! I hope it's not all too good to be true... Anyway, the latest is that coffee may actually be packed with soluble fiber.

Spanish researchers tested instant coffee, regular coffee, and espresso, and discovered that all contained measurable amounts of water soluble fiber -- with instant coffee containing the most at 1.8 grams per cup.

So, the good news is that your cup o' joe is helping your diet more than you had realized. But the bad news is that you can't count on coffee to contribute all that much to meeting your daily fiber needs, unless of course you plan on drinking 17 cups per day of the stuff.
