Yeah I can't imagine being permanently high on a drug being bad for you...this study funded by the Institute for Coffee Studies is probably right, everyone should take more of this drug!
I agree that being permanently high (and thus being out of touch with the body and with emotions) is unhealthy -- however, perhaps some drugs are less unhealthy than others.
[from the article]
>That there were no major differences in risk reduction between regular and decaf coffee suggests there's something in it, aside from its caffeine content, that could be contributing to these observed benefits
It could merely be that people who drink coffee eat less food, and that food is a less healthy drug
So your argument is that these people are actually having a more healthy diet by eating less food and drinking more drugs? Did you think out this point before making it?
That doesn't seem impossible. What's the baseline for the food and the coffee? A lot of people's diet these days would be healthier simply by eating less of everything.
