Oh, puleeze, doctor.....your logic is even worse and non-convincing as the nutritionist who had insisted my husband go to decaffeinated coffee, after some horse-ass study said regular coffee was bad for ya; shortly thereafter, the study was discredited; hubby asked the nutritionist a question about it and she said that while she realizes the study was disproved, she thought it still made good sense. Upon hearing this, hubby told her that when she started footing the bill for her nonsense, he'd continue drinking decaf...he went back to regular coffee.
Doctor here doesn't even have a study that once upon a time suggested an increase in babies getting hepatitis!
Personally, if I'm drinking it, I don't want an 'imitation'. And there have been recent studies showing that coffee's NOT the horrible no-no they said it was. I guess folks just want to believe 'experts' too much. They should realize that living and breathing is a DEFINITE cause of cancer/death/illness/disease.
