It’s such good news. Last week The New York Times published an article debunking every myth about coffee that has had me covertly wincing with my daily second cup of beloved joe. I love coffee, as in head over heels, light of my life, can’t live without.

Although coffee’s high level of antioxidants has given it a boost in the PR department lately, there have still been those lingering whispers of “heart disease, hypertension, cancer, bone loss”–yikes. So in a broad gesture of denial, I have celebrated the antioxidants and dismissed the rest. Now the time has come for some whole-hearted embracing. Here’s the dish, as reported in The Times: An analysis of 10 studies of more than 400,000 people found no increase in heart disease among daily coffee drinkers, whether their coffee came with caffeine or not.

thanks for stopping by....Well that is good to know. I have a little bit of blood pressure issues...but coffee never affected it...that I know of!

They could come out with a study that says that ingesting 3 cups of coffee per day would result in facial fungus, and I'd still keep on chugging the stuff. rolleyes It seems like people are always trying to rain on everyone's parades, ya' know?

It's the same bullshit they came out with a few years ago that said that we shouldn't stuff our turkeys prior to cooking them. My Granny was stuffin' the turkey long before these stupid studies came out, and she lived to be older than dirt. I'm going to keep on stuffing the ass of the bird every November no matter what they say.

Mmm hmmm I totally agree Karen! We can't go living our life worrying about every LITTLE thing that someone decides to do study on! I want only GOOD studies.

Vent and change the subject all you want. It makes life interesting!

Speaking of turkeys...do you name your Thanksgiving turkey or is it just my twisted family that does that?

coffee

JDjrd2498 Saturday, August 16, 2008 2:53:41 AM

We dont name our turkeys at my family. But usually we dont have turkey. bigsmile

KarenNerak Saturday, August 16, 2008 3:14:45 AM

Hmm...what do you eat instead of turkey?

JDjrd2498 Saturday, August 16, 2008 3:30:24 AM

well mostly a lot mexican food, like: ham, posole, tamales, carne asada, and much more.

KarenNerak Saturday, August 16, 2008 7:12:08 PM

I think I'd enjoy that MUCH more than turkey. I'll see ya' in November! lol

JDjrd2498 Monday, August 18, 2008 2:18:12 AM

Well in my case, i am not a big fan of Mexican food. SO most of the time i only eat the Ham. smile Man all this talk of Thanksgiving is making me hungry.

Sarah angel292005 Monday, August 18, 2008 10:26:05 PM

No.......we don't name our turkey at Thanksgiving. Usually when I eat meat of any kind I say a prayer like this, "Thank you God for the animal that gave his life so that I may eat him." Or something to that effect.

Jose, when you grow up and get married you can have Turkey and Ham in your own house with your wifey and kids. bigsmile up

Sarah angel292005 Monday, August 18, 2008 10:26:58 PM

Oh! And see the coffee press thingy above? I have one of those and the coffee is mmmm mmmmm good! up

Hey, Karen

(I knew I'd find you here)

My doctor told me to cut down on my caffiene> He said it was making me jumpy & irate.

I ripped his lungs out... yikes

But seriously-- the most recent study I read, and it was a very big study, said that-- and I quote-- "people who drink LARGE AMOUNTS of coffee every day are at a lower risk later in life for Alzheimers, Parkinsons and Type 2 Diabetes!

So THERE!!!

Yaaay!

Robert Hurleyrfhurley Thursday, February 5, 2009 1:26:27 AM

Yeah, but this time of year it's so full of tourists!

KarenNerak Thursday, February 5, 2009 1:32:52 AM

Well, I'm a full-time resident, so I don't really let them bog me down much. I just kinda kick 'em out of my way. left

Robert Hurleyrfhurley Thursday, February 5, 2009 1:37:32 AM

I give 'em faulty directions, and then laugh at them when they get lost...

KarenNerak Thursday, February 5, 2009 1:39:31 AM

arwena Wednesday, September 30, 2009 2:19:24 AM

oh i was going to write something about this subject, after reading everyones blog, i lost my train of thought... faint

anywho, i have heard also the too much coffee causes bone loss, i guess it's all in moderation. i can't handle more than a cup of fairly strong coffee with milk, my stomach tells me it's enough.

turkey anyone? lol oh i mean coffee anyone? coffee

Ubuntunerd ☠ubuntunerd1 Wednesday, September 30, 2009 8:53:32 PM
