Subject: BS: Harvard finds coffee maintains health From: Donuel Date: 20 Aug 12 - 04:18 PM Both the Mayo Clinic and Harvard have findings that daily coffee consumption is a valuable tonic to maintain good health. Proper filtration of the coffee to reduce grounds is recommended. Mayo on the other hand is not a good daily habit. |

Perhaps the Starbucks lobby has simply been rewarded. An active brain is a better brain. Crainial stimulation with positive electrodes on the left posterier and negative on the right anterior lobes will produce profound improvement of certain tasks normally found only in experts. To produce these "hats" for the public is easy and inexpensive. I will call them electro coffee hats. ECH for short. |

Subject: RE: BS: Harvard finds coffee maintains health From: Bill D Date: 20 Aug 12 - 06:22 PM gnu... not everyone gets the reference to "Tim's" (I think I do...) |

Subject: RE: BS: Harvard finds coffee maintains health From: Leadfingers Date: 20 Aug 12 - 07:45 PM So I can now justify my mugs of strong coffee !! |
Subject: RE: BS: Harvard finds coffee maintains health From: Bill D Date: 20 Aug 12 - 08:05 PM 200,000,000 Americans have never ever seen a Tim Horton's... *grin* We have Dunkin' Donuts, which tries to be known for coffee, and is sorta similar. |
Subject: RE: BS: Harvard finds coffee maintains health From: JohnInKansas Date: 20 Aug 12 - 09:27 PM tommorrow they might announce a link to pancreatic cancer ... There have been several separate reports by a number of different agencies recently touting the "probable" benefits of coffee drinking, with specific suggestions that reductions in colonic, prostate, and pancreatic cancers may be among the benefits. Cautious analysts continue to say the "results are suggestive" rather than conclusive. I'm a bit puzzled by references in a couple of the reports about "moderate drinkers who consume one cup per day" vs "heavy drinkers who consume 2 or 3 cups per day." I'd probably fall in their heavy consuming category, if they'll allow me to measure it with a 30 oz cup. The note on "properly filtered" may or may not refer to removing the grounds in the original reports, since a couple of the analyses found that filtered brew was slightly "safer" than espresso because the paper filter absorbs most of a minor free-radical oxidant that's left in the steam brew and that's considered to be weakly carcinogenic.

Subject: RE: BS: Harvard finds coffee maintains health From: Q (Frank Staplin) Date: 20 Aug 12 - 09:52 PM I credit my long like to coffee. I have a single cup coffee maker in my bedroom. When I wake up in the middle of the night, I brew myself a cup. Always sleep soundly after drinking the coffee and eating a biscoti. Thanks to Starbucks for stocking a variety of good beans. They have greatly improved North American and UK tastes. Tim Horton's? Phooey! |
Subject: RE: BS: Harvard finds coffee maintains health From: gnu Date: 20 Aug 12 - 10:47 PM Q!!! How dare you offend the pigeons! |
Subject: RE: BS: Harvard finds coffee maintains health From: Ed T Date: 21 Aug 12 - 02:01 PM Does this mean that gov't workers who take more coffee breaks will live longer? Or, will they just stay awake more than folks who don't drink coffee? Starbucks is fine, and I do buy their beans cause it is cheap at Costco. But,many other fine coffee shops were there blazing the coffee trail long before Starbucks, delivering very fine (and much cheaper) brew. This does not including Tims, the Dunkin' Donuts folks and others who (consistantly) offer "bilge water" quality coffee. |

Subject: RE: BS: Harvard finds coffee maintains health From: lefthanded guitar Date: 21 Aug 12 - 06:05 PM coffee eggs chicken soybean products coconut olive oil Each of these have been demonized and lauded by the latest study of the last decade or so. How can anyone trust the 'latest study?' I say, eat your chocolate and you'll live longer, and if not longer, well certainly: happier. |
Subject: RE: BS: Harvard finds coffee maintains health From: Q (Frank Staplin) Date: 21 Aug 12 - 07:28 PM I often see a advertising link here with a banana- Five foods one should never eat. I linked on and got an extremely long blurb, with some good nutritional information and some that went a step too far. The blurb exceeded my attention span and I never did find out why I shouldn't eat bananas. |

Subject: RE: BS: Harvard finds coffee maintains health From: Q (Frank Staplin) Date: 22 Aug 12 - 06:35 PM 999, no bone! See the song, "I Like Bananas Because They Have No Bones." Thread 60159: I Like Bananas |
Subject: RE: BS: Harvard finds coffee maintains health From: Ed T Date: 22 Aug 12 - 06:51 PM I once knew a girl who was so bashful that she would never eat a banana in public straight on-always ate 'em from the side. |
Subject: RE: BS: Harvard finds coffee maintains health From: GUEST,leeneia Date: 23 Aug 12 - 02:35 PM I didn't drink coffee until halfway through college. I had to because the work was so ridiculously hard and time-consuming. We routinely pulled 'all-nighters,' going without sleep from 7 am one morning till 9 or 10 pm the next day. By the end of my senior year I had only one goal for my life - to get enough sleep. That's about what I've achieved, I'm afraid. I'm not surprised that Harvard is in favor of coffee. If they had to revise their curriculum and teaching methods to the point where students got a healthy amount of sleep, the university would probably fall to pieces. |
