In other news, the small country of huh?WTF was eradicated by secondhand smoke.
Visitors to the country said they thought they smelled cigarette smoke when they were there but didn't notice if the country's occupants were drinking unusual amounts of coffee or not.

Authorities believe that a combination of secondhand smoke and coffee had a negative affect on the hearts of the residents.

My mom told me that coffee would also make me go blind, er...I think it was coffee drinking.

Ongoing, low-level inflammation is thought to be an underlying factor in the development of heart disease.

This is the latest in a long line of putative precursors as yet unsupported by proper medical studies but well enough publicized to lend credence to an otherwise nonsensical conclusion; I think it all came about because some researchers weren't convinced that the blood-thinning property of ordinary aspirin was the primary feature of its use to prevent heart attacks.

Since aspirin is the cheapest off all the miracle drugs, there is no money in the prescription of it and hence little profit for the attending physician.

By incorporating aspirin into the larger group of what are now known as Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDS)and touting new formulas of this class there stands to be huge profits realized.

Class dismissed

The journal wants $8 for the full article, but this abstract is free, and it details the type of people involved in the study and the blood markers that were found. Weight was not mentioned, but it might be in the full article.

I'm sure this research was not sponsored by Starbucks. I wonder what other factors could have influenced the results of this study vs. the others.

This could be hugh and series.

I received a Free Republic coffee mug, with my screen name inscribed on it, for being a dollar-a-day donor. Now, it looks like I'll have to hire John Edwards to go after Free Republic on my behalf, since they clearly are enablers of my dangerous habit.

What are "inflammatory markers" and which ones are we talking about? (Need facts for discussion only; no intention to quit coffee here.)

I've noticed for years that many articles about scientific research that appear in the mass media tend to follow the same formula, like a three-act play:

Act 1: Frighten, enthuse or inflame the public. E.g.:

Although the findings provide a mechanism by which coffee intake could promote heart disease, ...

Act 2: Mention that, with current research, we're not sure yet. E.g.:

... the authors note that not all previous studies have identified an association between the two.

Act 3: Beg for more funding to really find the answer. E.g.:

Hence, further studies are needed to confirm the present findings.

Don't worry, it's an even-numbered year. Coffee is always bad for you during even-numbered years. In 2005, it will be good for you again.

I forget what years oatmeal is good for you.

I heard there was evidence that nearly 90% of all Americans who died in the 2 months following 911 had eaten potatos in the previous year. The main stream media just isn't reporting this!

Can't square this with rodent studies. Coffee drinking rats outlive the control group. There may be other positive effects of coffee that outweigh the inflammation.

Everything is bad for you and nothing is good for you. Go figure.

We're all going to die from *something*.

Make mine Häagen Dazs® Super Premium Coffee Ice Cream (16% butterfat!).
