Coffee is good for all kinds of things! Parkinsons, tooth decay and memory.

Coffee miracle elixer

This doesn't make sense.

I understand that caffeine increases the production of insulin, which goes right into the bloodstream and turns to glucose. Too much of a good thing can tip you over that line.

Any of the low carb dieters heard that?

Not that I'm going to quit my 3 cups of morning Starbucks expresso, mind you...

Hillary will have to regulate them. And heaven forbid if you try to see them directly without getting the approval of you primary care coffee physician. Not everyone will get to see a specialist like Starbucks.

No. Then, the drug companies will lobby the FDA to regulate coffee and you have to pay $150.00 for a quater of a pound of it, of which your insurance or medicare will cover the majority.
