I have become wary of coffee research, because every year or two a new study is announced with findings that are in total opposition to previous findings. I never know what the real story is, if there is one. That being said, your post does make me think.

BTW, I just heard about a study saying that drinking coffee is associated with lower risk for alzheimer's. Supposedly this is a good study, because it was a prospective longitudinal study of over 8000 people's overall lifestyle and health. They followed them for many years, and tracked all types of health measures. It was a specific population--Japanese Americans in Hawaii--which may not necessarily be generalizable to other populations, but because of the study design, is considered good research. The association between coffee and not having alzheimers could be attributed to a few things besides causality, of course, like maybe people who are averse to drinking coffee because of the stimulant effects might also be more prone to alzheimers, etc.
