It's one of my few remaining vices but I'm still apprehensive about it because it's been linked to inflammation, which was not discussed in the article, which makes me not take it seriously. I'm sure if coffee is one of your few vices and you're taking care of yourself otherwise it's not a major driver of inflammation. But if you're a typical american who's diet is well documented, and you drink a gallon of coffee a day....ur a plaque machine. And all the "evidence" in that article is statistical in nature, which means it's not worth the paper it was written on and you know it plunkey. You know full well how much a good well paid statistician can make numbers do a waltz....and it all sounds completely legit and above board.
