Interesting. May explain why I started feeling bad from drinking
an occassional cup of coffee after I'd cut way down on my coffee
consumption. Nothing quite like sitting in the shop, smelling the
sawdust, and drinking a cuppa. I don't drink coffee at all anymore,
stick to just water and loads of green tea. Damn, I just knew I
shouldn't listen to those people telling me that all the coffee I was
drinking was bad for me - and I was right. Oh well. I'll start
drinking it again next life maybe.

Just hold out til next week, when there will be another "study" indicating
the exact opposite.

There is another one out, same time, different station. It says coffee
is good for some conditions, I forget what. My feeling is that these
studies are hazardous to your nerves, reading them gives almost anyone
the jitters, affects heart rate, and creates excessive irritation of
the mental faculties. Thus, I almost never finish reading a study
anymore before throwing up my hands, and, by extension flinging the
paper or magazine, and screaming, "Bull****!"

The cardiologist said I 'could/should' have only 1 or two cups a day.

O.K . . .in MY mug. Makes measuring real easy, two ounces absorbed by the
grounds - just use a quart measure to fill the coffee maker.

You must remember that nearly all of these studies are done by people
getting Grant Money. If you say A and I say B then we both have the basis
for another grant to find out which is right and then a grant to refute the
new findings. New events in a few years is reason for a new grant to check
the results of the old findings. and on and on and on, its called job
security.

Interesting. I'm a coffee drinker and recently cut back to one mug
per day. I got headaches until I get used to less caffeine. My
mother had bad heart problems, so I have to watch it but I exercise
twice a day, everyday, slightly underweight, eat healthy which I feel
is better than any drug.

I will continue my caffeine enrichment program until a UN resolution

Well there you have it. Cutting down on coffee consumption is the problem.

Resume previous levels of coffee consumption and life will be better.

Water is OK if you are thirsty, green tea is rather vile swill that should
be avoided if one can get good coffee.

No it is not too late. Start now. Heck why not roast your own and really
have a good cup?

"This was particularly the case when a coffee drinker got little regular
exercise or had three or more risk factors for heart disease - such as
diabetes, high blood pressure and smoking."
Eat healty,excerisize, and don't smoke. Enjoy your coffee.
But then again, I'm baised.
