In reply to the discussion: Study Finds More Evidence Coffee Can Be a Life-Saver [View all]rjsquirrel
(4,762 posts)For years my doc has been telling me I drink too much coffee (5-6 cups a day). He has never been able to cite evidence for this view so I push back because for me it is an anti-depressant as well as a stimulant and I love even the crappiest gas station sludge. (I actually don't like frou-frou over-roasted and over-priced fussy espresso or coffee snobs who say milk or sugar are unacceptable and all the rest of that nonsense, a sign of not enough real work to do in my opinion if you obsess over the authenticity of what other people like to drink, now get back to work.)
In the last two years I've hit my doc with four major studies showing coffee is good for you even in large doses, and maybe REALLY good for you.
He has stopped mentioning it.
