The Shocking Link Between Office Coffee and Heart Health

Yes that darn bombshell

I am so tired of every headline looking like it is coming from the Enquirer or the Daily Mail

[ProtectOurFreedom]

The problem isn’t the coffee measure. It’s that the filter and cup are opaque — can’t see how much water is going into the mug. I used to get not enough or overflow until I thought “Measure the weight, dummy!”

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Did you scrub the stains off his teeth, too?

[Blood of Tyrants]

Have you taken your Keurig apart and cleaned the lines from the tank to the spout? They are generally filthy and full of black slime.

The Euros have this great powder espresso machine cleaner called Cafiza. It is *great* for removing coffee oil residue from stainless steel, works great on regular coffee makers, too. Recommended.

[bosco24]

Nonsense.

[quilterdebbie]

Same here!

[TexasGator]

Oxyclean on this side of the pond

[FreedomPoster]

I think of that as a laundry product. Both white powders though.

“and don’t get me started on messing with their coffee mugs..”

Really. Never EVER wash someone else’s coffee mug! Especially if he writes your performance review.

When I worked for a big pharma company in CA, the coffee in all of the break rooms and food courts was complimentary Seattle’s Best. I loved it!

“Your anti-science bias led you to the wrong conclusion.

You quote shows the credibility of the study. They are declaring that their study makes no conclusions as to the effects on LDL levels.”

---

I quoted the study saying it doesn’t know “the precise effect [of office coffee] on LDL cholesterol” (ie on heart health). Yet the same study claims that it has found “the shocking link between office coffee and heart health.” Which means the study is full of gaslighting and has ZERO credibility.
Still don’t get it? The study is telling zilch about “heart health”, contrary to what it claims loudly in its headline. All it does is to make some uncontrolled measures on a compound-cafestol- suspected to raise an unknown amount of another compound-LDL cholesterol- suspected to influence an unknown amount of heart health, influence which has been debunked thouroughly (see eg studies on fat adapted people, especially on lean mass hyper-responders who have LDL over 400 and yet zero plaques). It’s indeed a load of bovine manure.
So before talking about science or anti-science, get some basic junk science decoding skills.

I clean our Keurig by running white vinegar through it. They say it does a good job but I don’t know if it’s true.

“Yet the same study claims that it has found “the shocking link between office coffee and heart health.”

The study makes no such claim.

[TexasGator]

“contrary to what it claims loudly in its headline.”

Dude, the authors of the study have ZERO say as to what goes into the headline.

It was written by some jock who has never read the study and probably didn’t read the whole article.

He is only thinking about how he can word it to jerk off the most people.

I hope you learn from this.

[Seruzawa]

I learned in the 7th Fleet that the worst crime an E4 can commit is to make weak coffee. It needs to be strong enough to melt spoons.

[miniTAX]

Don’t be so dense, will you?

“Most of the coffee samples contained levels that could feasibly affect the levels of LDL cholesterol of people who drank the coffee, as well as their future risk of cardiovascular disease.” David Iggman, co-author of the study, who is also full of it.

[TexasGator]

Stop digging. You already embarrassed yourself by being jerked by some dude at a keyboard.

Nonsense. An author can perfectly ask corrections from the magazines and even demand retraction or cancel the publication of the article. If he lets make fake news from his “study”, it’s because he is a dishonnest attention whore and his study is bunk, like 99% of nutrition “science” papers. I have reviewed science papers, I know something about the publishing and the vulgarisation processes.
