Scientists have just worked out coffee is good for you? We already knew that. Nearly a vitamin.
I wonder how much coffee they drank while they were doing their study.

Thank goodness, I was beginning to worry that 3 or 4 pots a day might affect me in the wrong way.

LOL. I drink at least 1/2 a pot a day and that is no joke, usually more.

Wilhelm, I'm not joking I really do drink that much coffee, with milk and 2 spoons of sugar in each cup. And no I'm not fat. Sometimes coffee is my breakfast, lunch and supper.

I'm drinking right now.

No milk, no cream, no sugar, 1/2 to 3/4 packet of splenda. Actually tanyamm, truth be known, I was being fairly conservative at a 1/2 a pot. I'm concealing my habit. I should know better.
