Okay, you guys might crucify me for this, please delete it if it is insensitive to intellectual property laws. I can’t link to it, because it is just a photocopied page that my co-worker had hanging in her cubicle. I googled and came up with nothing. I have no idea if Health Coach Systems is a crackpot organization, or what. The article sounds pretty hokey to me, but uses large scientific-sounding words. ; )

Anyway, here’s what they say:

The phrase “some speculate” when making claims should be a warning bell in and of itself. If someone’s speculation is the best evidence they can drum up for a point, it’s a good indication the article is biased and unreliable.

Coffee is more than good for you. It is absolutely vital to health and bien-etre.

One cannot live without coffee.

Agree 100%.

I used to drink tea (I’m English y’see) on holiday in the USA about 15 years ago I tasted REAL home brewed coffee, black and bitter.

Ever since that first taste I’ve been hooked on the beautiful stuff and you can shove tea where the sun don’t shine.

So there. :cool:

Yeah. When I was in Japan they told me that drinking soft drinks would give me “melty bones.”

checks bones

Nope, not melty. whew

26

Check the other bone.

I suspect there’s no yes/no answer to this, or related ones about alcohol or dairy or whatever. There seems to me to be a variety of effects, some positive and some negative, and which set wins out will probably vary with each individual and with time for that individual.

Todays study is tomorrows bull. The experts have changed position on coffee once a month. Salt. alcohol and others have same rgythm. There is no definitve knowledge. Listen to Franklyn,everything in moderation. Only drink 8 or 10 coffees a day. Good for you.

You and me both. If coffee is hazardous to my health, lack of me having coffee can be hazardous to the health of everyone else.
