research shows coffee bad so where is the FDA?

[peterforpats]

just saw on yahoo that researchers have discovered that lots of coffee drinking under the age of 55 leads to health problems an early death. so when is the FDA going to announce their plans to regulate and ban coffee in public places? where are hearings on how to prevent caffeine from falling into the hands of non-adults? why do they allow flavored coffees if it isn't a gateway trap to lure in the unsuspecting drinkers. we must take action-petition starbucks to ban coffee within 25 feet of their premises. all internet sales of coffee must be regulated and heavily taxed- you can by coffee on amazon and they don't even require proof of age to purchase! i was looking to start up an e-coffee site with some kiiler products(I love my coffee drippers).now it looks like my upper end procoffi will never be for sale. you know THE MAN is never going to stop. c'mon people let's stop this before it starts- I need your help.......

You can take our guns, tax us at 60% of our income, Strip any and all expectation of privacy from our lives, Sell out the American workers buy encouraging manufacturing to go over seas, but mess with our coffee and there will be rioting in the streets!!!

If coffee was that bad for you I'd be dead by now.

QFT!

Yep coffee must be bad for me, gee maybe I should sell my coffee maker in the classifieds - NOT.

 

[VprNomi]

Ok, I've already (almost) given up my cigarettes - if you get them started trying to take away my coffee too, life won't be worth living anymore.

And I would be dead as well. My coffee is ridiculously strong, and I drink outrageous quantities!

Most of us have already guessed this Eddard;-)

The article says drinking over four cups of coffee a day could be hazardous to your health.

I knew an old man that smoked. I didn't see him the last 10 years of his life but he made it to 103. He started smoking and drinking coffee at 12. From what I hear, no one can recall seeing him without coffee or a cigarette or both.

Whatever...get a life, writer. I will go down in a blaze of caffeine!

Whew! I only drink one cup. It just happens to be the pot that it's brewed in.

I drink a pot before I leave for work. Another 48 oz after that. Iced tea all afternoon....

Coffee calms me down. I have ADHD, so I kinda need it to function.

I think if they were to do honest, valid research, they'd find that it's the LACK of coffee that's dangerous. Because I WILL kill in the morning if there's no coffee.

Here, here. Well said, sir. Nobody wants to see me coffee free...

Again information we already knew;-)

Caffeine and nicotine.

That article is BS. I saw the same story on the news last night. Tell that to all the 80+ year olds that are still alive and kicking all while drinking their coffee. I drink a pot (of coffee) in the morning.

Seems like years ago they tried to scare people away from coffee with about the same tactic. Funny how this is coming out when we are making the comparison of nicotine to caffeine hmmmmm ? Nah.... Has to be a coincidence.....

Gasp! Those evil flavored coffees and creamers! Think about the children!
