...I just didn't know HOW good!

Drinking coffee:

- Reduces your risk of developing cancers of the head, neck, mouth, throat, and liver

- Helps prevent the deterioration of memory

- Reduces women's risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke, and men's risk of aggressive prostate cancer

Quote:

"Americans get more of their antioxidants from coffee than any other dietary source," said Joe Vinson, lead author of a study on antioxidants conducted by the University of Scranton, in Pennsylvania. "Nothing else comes close."

And here's the kicker: The more coffee you drink, the more these beneficial effects develop. So drink up, folks...it's GOOD for you!

given enough time a study showing the harm of drinking coffee will be found.

I loves me my coffee, and hell I may be the only guy in VA who jogs while smoking a cigar. So what do I really know?

...But as Brillat-Savarin has correctly observed, coffee sets the blood in motion and stimulates the muscles; it accelerates the digestive processes, chases away sleep, and gives us the capacity to engage a little longer in the exercise of our intellects. It is on this last point, in particular, that I want to add my personal experience to Brillat-Savarin's observations.

So my pot a day habit is actually a good thing? Not to mention it keeps me regular?

It helps memory? Wow, I guess I'd be a total mental vegetable if I did NOT drink coffee then, as it is I'm already handicapped.

So, If i just drink a little more coffee, red wine, and oatmeal stout, I can afford to pick up a couple more harmful vices, right?
