Not so contoversial anymore -- panel says moderate coffee drinking reduces many risks

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'C')offee is among the most widely consumed beverages in the world, and Dr. Coughlin says that the preponderance of scientific evidence - some by the panelists - suggests that moderate coffee consumption (3-5 cups per day) may be associated with reduced risk of certain disease conditions, such as Parkinson’s disease. Some research in neuropharamacology suggests that one cup of coffee can halve the risk of Parkinson’s disease. Other studies have found it reduces the risk of Alzheimer's disease, kidney stones, gallstones, depression and even suicide.

More thorough analyses and the accumulation of evidence suggest no negative effect on the incidence of colon cancer, and possible protective effects for adenomas of the colon as well as for rectal cancer and liver cancer.

...This study, brought to you by the good folks at Star Bucks...reminding you to follow the doctor's orders...a caramel mocha-chino with your organic blueberry muffin every day keeps the doctor away...

Remember, coffee is a bean and an antioxidant.

In fact, coffee is the largest source of antioxidants for the average American.

Just something to think about with your morning cup of I-Don't-Want-To-Fall-Asleep-On-The-Job-And-Get-Fired-Today.
