Coffee is the most misunderstood modern addiction! It takes a heavy toll on
our health and yet it's totally ignored by health researchers! When I stopped
drinking coffee, everything about my health improved!

Quoting "Jareoslaw G. Wechowski" <[log in to unmask]>:

> There is much talk about trans-fats, cholesterol, salt and simple sugars.
> Interestingly, little is ever mentioned about population health effects of
> coffee "addiction". In the Ottoman Empire coffee was banned as a potent
> drug. Some years ago coffee was considered to be an occasional treat, not
> worth any public health worries. But coffee is not just blood pressure and
> peptic ulcers. I am aware of studies linking coffee consumption and
> mutations in sperm DNA. After all, coffee contains mutagenes and
> carcinogenes resulting from the roasting process. Chemical additives and
> pesticides might also play a role.
>
> Meanwhile, the global reader may learn from WebMD, promoted by Hotmail, that
> coffee is not only health food but possibly a miracle cure.
