Actually, unlike the classic "eggs" example, coffee is an addictive psychoactive drug (<a class="user" href="http://www.erowid.org/chemicals/caffeine/caffeine.shtml).">http://www.erowid.org/chemicals/caffeine/caffeine.shtml).</a> However, it is the world's second largets commodity and--get this--legal. I love coffee, and like most things, and like most DRUGS, taken in moderation, you will be fine: even if you are addicted. However, the amount of coffee one must take in order to get the benefits are akin to the amount of wine one must drink in order to get *its* benefits. That is, barely a truly full glass a day. And most of us drink more than that--more of both.
I think the study refers to the antioxidants in particular that's why they titled it aptly so. So what they are saying really is that it is the antioxidants in coffee that is good for you. The caffeine that goes with it is an altogether different matter.

Seems like we beat this coffee issue to death. Maybe we can 'digg' a hole and bury it. FYI, in NY we pronounce it KAW-fee. :-)
