You might also want to tell him that drinking coffee decreases the likelihood of getting diabetes, too. ;)
Which, of course, would also lower your risk of getting heart disease. And kidney disease. And losing your vision. And lower your risk of impotence. And peripheral neuropathy....

Coffee is yummy, too! :) Just stay away from too much cream, sugar, and whipped cream, though.
A shot of Irish Whiskey added to all that sugar and cream makes it even better. Oh, don't forget to add coffee.
Decaffeinated! Rats!! I hate decaffeinated coffee.
