Coffe is good for you! New tests show that coffee is full
of antioxidants. Way more than anything else - even tea.

This is really good news for me. I love my Starbucks red eye every morning - thats strong brew with two shots of espresso.

Wakes you up and keeps cancer away at the same time.

1. Well imagine THAT!
This is good news to coffeeholics like myself! Is decaffinated included in that good news? That's about all Greekspeak will drink as far as coffee goes. Me? I like the regular ol Folger's Gourmet Supreme. Black.

4. I like my coffee really strong.
I have trouble with brainfog so coffee is just a necessity for me in the morning.

I like green tea, too. But not like coffee.

5. Yeah. An irresponsibly disseminated report, IMO.
Caffeine raises blood pressure. :shrug:

6. I don't have blood pressure problems so I guess it
doesn't matter for me.

9. that's just it - lots of folks don't know they have BP problems
Not saying you're among them, lefty.

The report should be balanced by the guy who put it out, saying that caffeine can be dangerous for some. That's all.

10. Juan Valdez, I think.
I tried to post the new report on Dr. Weil and they took it off. He doesn't believe in coffee drinking at all.

I, however, am a great fan of coffee. People have been drinking it for hundreds of years - so how bad could it be.

And I need the pick-up.
