coffee
I have recently started drinking coffee. Prior to this year, I probably consumed three cups, all as a social performance. With all the hype about its health effects, I have broken down and decided to indulge myself some. (Granted that none of that makes any sense, but it speaks to why the following forum question caught my eye.)
This is the question, from a medical forum magazine: "Should we or should we not drink coffee? What are the health benefits? What are the negatives?"
The respondent answers with a series of studies. He concludes, "Overall, it is likely premature to tell patients they can sip with impunity, but the weight of evidence seems to contrast with the supposition that coffee addiction is another bad habit."
So, the questioner apparently intends to decide whether to engage in this particular behavior based on the medical studies, which are mixed and inconclusive. What to do now? How can one live one's life this way?
Rather, all things in moderation. Don't be mastered by anything, except Christ.
