Green tea is to coffee as salsa is to ketchup.

Pure ambrosia in a cup. I like african coffees the best personally, but a friend of mine recently suggested switching to an asian coffee during the winter. They're richer and have a deeper flavor, but a little overwhelming if you prefer lighter and more complex flavors.

That's not the question, you middle-of-the-road pansy. Things have to be GOOD or EVIL!

I have to say evil, purely from the caffeine content.
My GP suggested I cut out all caffeine to help me sleep, so I switched to de-caff tea (no taste difference) and I can't get excited about instant de-caff coffee so I've just given it up totally. I don't really enjoy caffeine buzz anyway - it feels like my head is big and echo-y and I twitch like a bastard. |

I'm immune to caffeine. I drink diet coke and coffee all day long. I do have occasional problems sleeping but it seems unrelated to caffeine consumption; drinking more or less in a given day does not coincide with sleeplessness, though my stress of that day will.
I mean, we gotta give up cigarettes, and drinks, and pot, and sex, and preservatives and processed flour products, and any food that tastes good. Caffeine will be my last bastion of viceness!

The question is not whether coffee is good or evil....The question is: is asking that question born of pure evil? To cast doubt where none is deserved like that? This is irresponsible slander! Why is this thread so long? What is to discuss here? Is Shawnee good or evil? See how that works?!? I'm going to go see who started this nonsense! Not only is this slanderous- but since it has been posted for the whole world to see on the internet- it is libel! You can take my life and my liberty but I will be damned to the rankest and darkest level of hell before you get my java.

Beats the massive heart attack I could have suffered by now.
~snip~Coffee is Good For Most People – Reduces Risk For Heart Disease Parkinsons And Diabetes – Antioxidants Can Reduce Inflammation A new study suggests that coffee can reduce the risk of inflammation and cardiovascular disease. This is more good news for coffee drinkers. Researchers have known that both coffee and tea are high in antioxidants which help remove unstable molecules in your body called free radicals. Free radicals contribute to the oxidative process and over time can cause inflammation and other unhealthy changes in your cells. This study involved 27,000 postmenopausal women and concluded that by inhibiting inflammation, the drink will also inhibit cardiovascular disease. The February issue of Mayo Clinic Women’s HealthSource examines many beneficial aspects of coffee. Besides lowering the risk of heart disease, coffee, especially decaffeinated coffee, can reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes. Coffee will also provide “brain protection”. Researchers assessed 890 older women and found that coffee can help cognitive skills including thinking, memory and comprehension. This could be because of the long-term caffeine exposure. Coffee can also reduce the risk of Parkinson’s disease. Moderate to high level consumption of coffee decreased the risk of Parkinson’s in women. But this was not the case for all women. For example, the Nurses’ Health Study also showed that high levels of caffeine -- six or more cups a day -- increased the risk of Parkinson’s in women who used hormone therapy. There are some negative consequences to coffee consumption. Too much caffeine can cause restlessness, anxiety, irritability, tremors, sleeplessness, headaches, gastrointestinal symptoms and abnormal heart rhythms. Caffeine can also raise blood pressure. The researchers say that for most people, “it appears that a moderate daily intake of coffee (two to four cups) doesn’t seem to hurt and may even help.

Still waiting for it to cause Anorexia.
And on that note, I think I'll go grab another cup!

Caffeine is how coffee berries resist insect pests: they eat of them and a dose of caffeine blows out their little nervous systems.
If we were the size of ants it'd do the same to ours.
