Just a few months ago coffee was getting a bad rap. This month it's looking good when it comes to Alzheimer's and Dementia. Do these studies make you change your coffee habits?

I have to admit that I weaned myself off of coffee many years ago because of the caffeine. I do adore the smell of it though! I could just breathe in the aroma all day.

Are others changing their drinking habits?

coffe is now also getting a good rap for the liver...

i drink decaf every morning.

Fashionkat - that's fascinating! I wonder how coffee helps with liver health!

I looked it up and it does seem to show that people who drink coffee have lower rats of liver cancer!

It can also lower the risk of Parkinson's Disease, colon cancer and type 2 diabetes.

I used to drink 2 pots a day. then thyroid issues ensued and had to go decaff. I adore coffee, the smell, the taste. But give me Brazilian please

Two pots, Wow! It must have been difficult making the switch!

I only have one cup a day, Alzheimer's runs in my family maybe i should start drinking more

I recently heard a news report about some research they have done with coffee. It seems it eases aches and muscle pain in women. They said it didn't show the same thing for men, but i think that part of the research was inconclusive because there wasn't as many men in the study as women.
They have also found that the oils in coffee has one of the highest antioxidant levels of anything they have found. They are emulsifying coffee oil into creams now and soon we may see them in cosmetic products as skin mosturizers etc.
The interesting part is... it isn't the caffeine in the coffee that has the antioxidant and muscle pain products. It's the coffee oils.
Go Coffee!

This may have nothing to do with anything, but I have noticed that many of the people I know who "really" enjoy their cocktails don't care much for coffee. Has anyone else seen this to be true?
Maybe there is something in their body chemistry that makes alcohol appealing but coffee not so much.

On the other hand, I love my coffee but could do without alcohol and never miss it a bit.

Wow msbaby, thats interesting.

I have never been fond of drinking. I seem to be able to drink only one drink (sometimes not even a full one) before I'm sick of it. But I love my coffee.

If that's true... I wonder about people who love Kahlua

Wow Bylen!

That's great.

I always knew coffee had some redeeming qualities--other than raising me from the dead that is! LOL!

Just what you need after being raised from the dead... a good moisturizer!

LOL! What a visual!
