Takin' a big gulp and refusing to be intimidated!

I may die of heart disease... but at least I'll be awake when I do it, dammit.

[RushCrush]

Guess I'll just chew my coffee beans straight up from now on.

[OldSmaj]

the authors note that not all previous studies have identified an association between the two. Hence, further studies are needed to confirm the present findings...

Why do these morons even bother to present a study if they have disclaim it like this?

In other words, "we got not idea what the hell coffee does or does not do, we just want our fifteen minutes of fame".

[L98Fiero]

Although the findings provide a mechanism by which coffee intake could promote heart disease, the authors note that not all previous studies have identified an association between the two. Hence, further studies are needed to confirm the present findings.

In other words, they don't know any more than they did prior to the publishing of this report. A "mechanism" by which coffee intake could promote heart disease.

I bet we will never hear another peep about this, ever.

Gave up cigarettes; will not give up coffee!

We're not going to get out of this world alive.............

Scientists prove that Saliva causes Disease. But, they reassure that it is only a problem when swallowed in small amounts over a long period of time.

[MrBambaLaMamba]

Were those who consumed more than about 1 cup of the beverage per day the same weight or fatter than those who didn't?

[dawn53]

They can have my cup of coffee, when they pry it from my cold dead fingers!

[muawiyah]

So, they controlled for every factor but one ~ that's the "it's already inflamed" factor!

Coffee has chemicals in it that act similarly to aspirin.

Folks who self-medicate with coffee would need to be identified first!

Hey, who paid for this study? Was it Lipton's, or what?

[mountaineer]

Didn't the last scientific study conclude a cup of coffee a day was good for us? Or was that the one that said a glass of wine, no - maybe it was a kumquat a day, although I could have sworn it was a bratwurst a day. Oh well, everything in moderation!

[uncitizen]

It's Bush's fault!

[Roses0508]

I'm going to ignore this and go get a second cup.

[Psycho_Bunny]

those who consumed more than about 1 cup of the beverage per day

Freakin' weaksticks.

I didn't know one could even be classified has having drank any coffee until halfway through the second pot.

[Libertina]

Nonsense. When I get a headache (inflamed area of the brain) coffee often helps it go away. It tastes great and energizes me. I sincerely hope this was NOT a publically funded "study." These people need to go out and get a job...

[Cinnamon Girl]

B.S.

[Slyfox]

There is an email going around, (I was told about it and did not see it) that claims that soldiers from Iraq contacted Starbucks and inquired as to how they could get some Starbucks coffee. Supposedly, they were sent back a reply that essentially told them that Starbucks did not support the war nor what the soldiers were doing.

Anyone hear anything about this?

[Serb5150]

Coffee lowers your risk of diabetes, Parkinson's, colon cancer, depression, headaches, cavities, liver cirrhosis, gallstones, heart damage...

Given the choice between these two studies, I'll take mine!
