It’s GOOD for you, no it’s BAD for you, and back and forth…
Now, they’re saying coffee is back to being ‘good’ for you (or tea if it has caffeine in it)…
A recent study found that your morning cup of coffee really does make you happier – even if you’re not a caffeine addict.
The study involved researchers from the University of Warwick in the United Kingdom and Germany’s Bielefeld University. It was recently published in the journal Scientific Reports.
The study followed 200 young adults over four weeks and measured their moods.

So now we’ve come full circle… again… Of course there are alway those to ‘question’ the validity.
Carrie Lupoli, a Connecticut-based nutritionist and health coach, said that even after experimenting with decaffeinated coffee, she observed the same positive effects on herself.
Sure, no caffeine, but it still works ‘because’ it’s a ‘routine’… Looking at what she does, I’m not surprised she would be counter to the study.
Interestingly, this was NOT done in US, but in England and Germany.
Me? I’m sticking with my morning routine of a cup or five of coffee in the morning. Otherwise, I’m not ‘human’ to deal with, as my friends know.
YMMV, yada, yada, yada…a
Having my morning beer mug of coffee, and reading my various web sites.

It seems to have been written in English using a Cyrilic alphabet to hide the writings.
Funny how things will just leak out, despite the MSM trying again to scream that it is the guns’ fault.
Like many other things, I believe that whether they are good or bad depends on your body and how much you ingest – moderation is important and so is knowing how your body responds.
A day without coffee is like a day without sunshine.
A day with coffee is like a day with sunshine, even if there isn’t 🙂
According to the three previous chief editors of the JAMA, Lancet and NEJM, less than half of the studies published can be repeated with similar results. Flipping a coin will get you better results.
So stay with what you know is true. A cup of coffee will get you moving in the morning, in both senses of the term.
Sitting here typing this with a fresh cup of coffee on hand. I can live without it but why should I? I don’t care if it is good for me,or bad for me.
I only have two cups in the morning. They are soup mugs, but only two. Yes, I get it. Age has brought on some dietary adjustments and a couple of drug prescriptions. That said, it’s called comfort food for a reason. Possibly I will keel over one day, dead when I hit the floor. But, I’ll smilin’ on the way down.
I had to switch to decaf, which means ordering mine from Amazon. The hunt for an even better coffee never ends.
Eventually got a percolator because a plastic coffeemaker is supposedly bad for you. An unexpected benefit is the glass top where you can see it perking, and always reminding me of when I was a kid.
I can attest that Ye Blogger is not a happy camper when disturbed too early (even by friends bearing a lot a breakfast kolaches). I count myself fortunate to be alive (well, that and hiding behind a larger friend carrying the rest of the kolaches).
All- Agreed. Any ‘study’ is questionable… sigh…
TXRed- Snort…I thought we agreed never to mention that…
ONFO/TXRed:
Tell me more of these kolaches and this “friend”.
A cup of coffee prevents murder and violent assaults.
Trust me on this.
Withhold my coffee and see what happens.
First of all “science” has forgotten what the “scientific method” is. It’s now mostly agenda driven. Second, some things are simply not accurately studied as there are simply too many variables involved. Diet and it’s effect is one of them. None of the test subjects can be counted on to be scrupulously accurrate in their reporting. At most, all they can do is track statistical trends. Almost anything in excess is bad for you. Almost everything in moderation is relatively harmless.
Gerry- Yep!
Dan- Good point!
Μηδὲν ἄγαν (Nothing to excess.)
This covers many things, and seems to be that “happy middle ground” where a lot of things fall into anyway.
Ag- Depends on ‘what’ your definition of middle ground is…LOL Is that Navy middle ground? Or civilian middle ground?
Civilian, one would hope. Some of us have gotten too old to tolerate hardly anything, much less Navy middle ground.
Bought a percolator for camping. Left it on the heat way too long. Now THAT’S coffee. Why is everything vibrating?
OT: the way things are going, I’m thinking of putting my Shellback Card in my wallet. Like AA amends, it can’t hurt to make connections, real or imagined. Except for that one guy who decided we MUST be kinfolks.
I’ll be drinking my 2-3 mugs of coffee every morning. I don’t care what any research says. Something has to kill me, it may as well be something I love. I mean, it’s not heroin or fentanyl or ethanol and it makes me more human.
