I’m printing this one out and taking it to my oncologist next time I see him. He’ll wet his pants!

I was born with caffeine in my system and I will die with caffeine in my system and between the two I will live with caffeine in my system! Viva la caffeine! Viva la me!

My family lives to the late 80’s, even while smoking. Some of them drink so much they don’t know how old they are. But, my mother never drank, never smoked, and ran 30 minutes 2-3 times a week to avoid osteoporosis until the paraneoplastic syndrome from her thymic carcinoma hit. We obviously don’t have the killer caffeine gene. Pass the Venti latte with an extra shot.

I’m going with Woody Allen here. Someday we’re going to find out that all that low fat stuff is poison, and we’ll be eating chocolate for our health! I’m just starting early. /nod

Won’t the medical community decide whether coffee/caffeine is good or bad for you once and for all? Last I heard, coffee was touted as a great source of anti-oxidants. It certainly makes my life as a student possible!

mchebert… it’s coffee that we are talking about. I quit smoking finally because they said it gave you heart disease and cancer (I got the cancer any way, but am well on the way to licking it) I gave up sugar because they said “empty calories” I gave up booze (ok, not that hard because who likes feeling out of control and hung over), I gave up fatty meats because of cholesterol. Give up coffee, now they’ve quit preaching about whats healthy and gone to meddling. Can’t, won’t, not gonna give up my morning joe.

I’m with you doc… Just Say No to the naysayers.

I can’t seem to figure out the “devastating consequences” link. Yeah, but non-fatal? I’d just keep drinking, occasionally pounding my chest like da bears’ fans.

Eshew all coffee! Come on, O.C., go back and re-read the article.

It says “NON-fatal” heart attack.

What are you worried about?

Going to laughing quietly to myself each time I think of this post! People will think I've lost my noodles, and try to correct the situation for me ...
