  „This study expands on a Dutch study done last year that found that heavy coffee drinkers had a substantially reduced risk of type 2 diabetes. However, that study did not separate out caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee, included fewer people over a shorter span of time, and was less rigorous in measuring coffee intake.“

  „But doctors at the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston, discovered that men drinking four or more cups of caffeinated coffee a day had the lowest risk of developing gallstones. No effect for tea-drinkers Those who favourite drink was tea, decaffeinated coffee or low-calorie soft drinks with caffeine such a colas did not have the reduced risk. Gallstones are caused when liquid stored in the gallbladder hardens - these can obstruct the bile duct, a narrow tube which leads from the gallbladder to the intestine. Bile, a liquid which helps the body digest fat, can be trapped and cause inflammation, and if blocked over a period of time, the patient can suffer from persistent pain, fever and jaundice.“

  „Six were habitual coffee drinkers and nine either abstained or drank coffee only occasionally. The volunteers were given either a full strength triple espresso, a decaffeinated version, an intravenous injection of caffeine or a placebo. Both types of espresso stimulated a significant jump in blood pressure among those who were not regular coffee drinkers. Advice Dr Corti said the lack of blood pressure elevation in coffee drinkers suggested regular consumption may help to reduce its potential for damaging health - at least among people who were not vulnerable to high blood pressure.“

  „Red EyeSomeone who can 'drink' (ie, choke down) a Red Eye deserves your respect. This drink is basically a cup of coffee (already well caffeinated) with either one, two, or three espresso shots added for good measure. People that drink these are either clinically dead and need resurrection, or are writing a doctoral thesis or something equally mind-numbing. You may want to think twice before ordering this drink.“

  „So world coffee prices halved and have remained volatile ever since. Was this break-up of the coffee-makers' cartel good news for coffee drinkers? Not immediately: It took four years for the supermarkets to slash the price of coffee, and then only by 20%. And when prices bounced back in 1994, up 50%, the retail price rose immediately and stayed high despite another fall in world prices in 1995.“
