Two cups a day, and I'm good to go. I've got employees who drink ONLY Coke or Pepsi, all morning, afternoon and evening. Yuk! Must be that *caffeine buzz* or something. Evil, evil stuff.

Coffee won't kill you...

Red wine is good for you ...

Thanks. The anti coffee industry should be dropped kicked daily until they slither away forever.

These smug little food nazis were among the first in America to gain fame and probably a lot of money with their lies about coffee going back to the 1960's.

Good news - I'm good for a quart of coffee before 6:30 every morning.

ROFLMAO - where did you get that picture of me?

[Mr. Blonde]

I have decided to not care if something is good or bad for me. If some study comes out saying it is bad, I will only have to wait a few weeks and a different study will say it is fine. Either way, I don't get a prize for returning my body in good shape.

I remember when this started back in the 50's based on some studies that showed countries such as Finland and Sweden that had the highest per capital coffee consumption rates had the highest rates of coronary disease. From that causal but incorrect correlation it went on from there.

I remember a medical study posted on Free Republic a while back that showed a correlation between sanity and coffee consumption.

Probably a lot of variables involved but I think the study showed how coffee drinkers tended to stay out of the loony bin.

I try to avoid Peet's Coffee.

That stuff is ROCKET FUEL.

MORE BLACK COFFEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

My favorite, but in small quantities, once a day.

..of that subgroup, I've narrowed it down to Italian roast using triple filtered water in a Braun (higher brew temp. 200F, extracts more flavor components).

My brother told me about a cartoon he saw a few days ago where a guy said,

"My mission in life is to transport large quatities of coffee from the coffee maker to the urinal."

This study appears to deal with coronary disease as artery blockage - but not the aspect of arrhythmias (irregular heartbeat) which may result, if severe, in instant death.

If you experience the latter, you don't go back and write a rebuttal to the researcher(s). Moderation remains the guide for the long haul.

The newest models in general health are pointing in a different direction.

Many of the diseases that plague folks are now thought to be caused by constant low-level inflammation. Cholesterol isn't the problem, it's the fix. And arthritis, even diabetes and insulin resistance are starting to be seen as almost autoimmune diseases.
