i have the general idea that burned things are not good for you (burned meat, acrylamides in toasted grains etc.) maybe nature intended animals not to eat burned stuff after a forest fire
 so what about coffee, which is roasted? |

There are over 1000 different chemicals in coffee. only 26 have been tested.. 13 of those 26 cause cancer in rats... that means that 50% of those chemicals cause cancer..
----------------------------------------Coffee cant be good for you. I dont drink coffee because of it. [Edit 1 times, last edit by Nick-MMX at Jan 28, 2009 10:02:12 AM] |

Studies show coffee is good for you, studies show coffee is bad for you.... studies show coffee increases the risk of cancer, studies show coffee decreases the risk of cancer.....!
I think it's like everything else in life: moderation. |

It sure smells good. I just can't stand the taste.
A cold glass of iced tea beats coffee any day |

The biggest immediate concern I can think of for your average person is that coffee stains your teeth, might create dependence and we live in an age of physical, emotional and spiritual health of optimization.
There is never any truely good excuse for addiction. Coffee might be safe, but probably not good for you. Note: If your have a pre-existing condition like mitral valve prolapse, insufficiency, high blood pressure too much caffiene could induce atrial fibrillation sooner or later. This is probably never going to be a concern for your average coffee drinker. |

There is never any truely good excuse for addiction. Coffee might be safe, but probably not good for you. How about this one. Without my morning coffee, it would be much more dangerous for me in the morning traffic. I've been wondering, is it just in Italy where you drink only these espresso based coffees? In Venice we had to order American coffee to get familiar cups 
to infinity and beyond

I think it's like everything else in life: moderation. Totally agree. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coffee_and_health See Benefits and Risks. |
