Not yet but give him time.

LOL how right you are brother................... ;D

Allinall has left the building.

This thread hopping is making me dizzy.

There with this post I'm only 50 behind 15th place  ;D

 :o :o  Those numbers are dwindling fast.    ;D ;D

you're right DW, it's just that sometimes it gets so cozy in the forum it's like being in someone's living room just chatting.

We aren't??

yes they are and I have to thank you and DW for helping me, of course not that it's hurting you any.
 ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D

Yep just 12 away.

Yeah 11 posts will be done without my even trying to do them.

Well, I had left the building because I had to work.  Now I'm waiting to go home.  But I would NEVER post things just to post them!   ;D

Not even about coffee!

Not even about my favorite Colts travel mug...

...10 ounces of black gold...

I think so.

Just for the fun of some fellowship.

Hello Christina, in what respect do you mean polling?

Whatever this guys said he won, and got 7th place.

Christina

We're talking about the number of posts that are made. He was in the 7th place for most number of posts made.

ROTF

Allinall, and 2T, 2 Timothy, are just having a little fun on the forum. Allinall was happy he finally got into 7th place, for posting.

Drs are now saying that coffee is good for diabetics so at least you have one thing in your favor.

(http://smilies.vidahost.com/contrib/Bizkit/sweat.gif)

Coffee is good for your teeth, too.

Yep, that it is.

Coffee: The New Health Food?

Plenty of health benefits are brewing in America's beloved beverage.

Want a drug that could lower your risk of diabetes, Parkinson's disease, and colon cancer? That could lift your mood and treat headaches? That could lower your risk of cavities?

If it sounds too good to be true, think again.

Coffee, the much maligned but undoubtedly beloved beverage, just made headlines for possibly cutting the risk of the latest disease epidemic, type 2 diabetes. And the real news seems to be that the more you drink, the better.

Reducing Disease Risk

After analyzing data on 126,000 people for as long as 18 years, Harvard researchers calculate that compared with not partaking in America's favorite morning drink, downing one to three cups of caffeinated coffee daily can reduce diabetes risk by single digits. But having six cups or more each day slashed men's risk by 54% and women's by 30% over java avoiders.

Though the scientists give the customary "more research is needed" before they recommend you do overtime at Starbuck's to specifically prevent diabetes, their findings are very similar to those in a less-publicized Dutch study. And perhaps more importantly, it's the latest of hundreds of studies suggesting that coffee may be something of a health food -- especially in higher amounts.

In recent decades, some 19,000 studies have been done examining coffee's impact on health. And for the most part, their results are as pleasing as a gulp of freshly brewed Breakfast Blend for the 108 million Americans who routinely enjoy this traditionally morning -- and increasingly daylong -- ritual. In practical terms, regular coffee drinkers include the majority of U.S. adults and a growing number of children.

"Overall, the research shows that coffee is far more healthful than it is harmful," says Tomas DePaulis, PhD, research scientist at Vanderbilt University's Institute for Coffee Studies, which conducts its own medical research and tracks coffee studies from around the world. "For most people, very little bad comes from drinking it, but a lot of good."

Consider this: At least six studies indicate that people who drink coffee on a regular basis are up to 80% less likely to develop Parkinson's, with three showing the more they drink, the lower the risk. Other research shows that compared to not drinking coffee, at least two cups daily can translate to a 25% reduced risk of colon cancer, an 80% drop in liver cirrhosis risk, and nearly half the risk of gallstones.

Coffee even offsets some of the damage caused by other vices, some research indicates. "People who smoke and are heavy drinkers have less heart disease and liver damage when they regularly consume large amounts of coffee compared to those who don't," says DePaulis.

There's also some evidence that coffee may help manage asthma and even control attacks when medication is unavailable, stop a headache, boost mood, and even prevent cavities.

Is it the caffeine? The oodles of antioxidants in coffee beans, some of which become especially potent during the roasting process? Even other mysterious properties that warrant this intensive study?

Actually, yes.

Some of coffee's reported benefits are a direct result of its higher caffeine content: An eight ounce cup of drip-brewed coffee contains about 85 mg -- about three and a half times more than the same serving of tea or cola or one ounce of chocolate.

"The evidence is very strong that regular coffee consumption reduces risk of Parkinson's disease and for that, it's directly related to caffeine," DePaulis tells WebMD. "In fact, Parkinson's drugs are now being developed that contain a derivative of caffeine based on this evidence."

Caffeine is also what helps in treating asthma and headaches. Though not widely publicized, a single dose of pain reliever such as Anacin or Excedrin contains up to 120 milligrams -- what's in a hefty mug o' Joe.

Boost to Athleticism

It's also caffeine -- and not coffee, per se -- that makes java a powerful aid in enhancing athletic endurance and performance, says physiologist and longtime coffee researcher Terry Graham, PhD, of the University of Guelph in Canada. So powerful, in fact, that until recently, caffeine in coffee or other forms was deemed a "controlled" substance by the Olympic Games Committee, meaning that it could be consumed only in small, designated amounts by competing athletes.

"What caffeine likely does is stimulate the brain and nervous system to do things differently," he tells WebMD. "That may include signaling you to ignore fatigue or recruit extra units of muscle for intense athletic performance. Caffeine may even have a direct effect on muscles themselves, causing them to produce a stronger contraction. But what's amazing about it is that unlike some performance-enhancing manipulation some athletes do that are specific for strength or sprinting or endurance, studies show that caffeine positively enhances all of these things."

In other words, consume enough caffeine -- whether it's from coffee or another source -- and you will likely run faster, last longer and be stronger. What's enough? As little as one cup can offer some benefit, but the real impact comes from at least two mugs, says Graham. By comparison, it'd take at least eight glasses of cola to get the same effect, which isn't exactly conducive for running a marathon.

But the harder you exercise, the more benefit you may get from coffee. "Unfortunately, where you see the enhancing effects from caffeine is in hard-working athletes, who are able to work longer and somewhat harder," says Graham, who has studied the effects of caffeine and coffee for nearly two decades. "If you a recreational athlete who is working out to reduce weight or just feel better, you're not pushing yourself hard enough to get an athletic benefit from coffee or other caffeinated products."

But you can get other benefits from coffee that have nothing to do with caffeine. "Coffee is loaded with antioxidants, including a group of compounds called quinines that when administered to lab rats, increases their insulin sensitivity" he tells WebMD. This increased sensitivity improves the body's response to insulin.

That may explain why in that new Harvard study, those drinking decaf coffee but not tea beverages also showed a reduced diabetes risk, though it was half as much as those drinking caffeinated coffee.

"We don't know exactly why coffee is beneficial for diabetes," lead researcher Frank Hu, MD, tells WebMD. "It is possible that both caffeine and other compounds play important roles. Coffee has large amounts of antioxidants such as chlorogenic acid and tocopherols, and minerals such as magnesium. All these components have been shown to improve insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism."

Meanwhile, Italian researchers credit another compound called trigonelline, which gives coffee its aroma and bitter taste, for having both antibacterial and anti-adhesive properties to help prevent dental cavities from forming. There are other theories for other conditions.

How does this brew affect growing minds and bodies? Very nicely, it seems, says DePaulis. Coffee, as you probably know, makes you more alert, which can boost concentration. But claims that it improves a child's academic performance can be exaggerated. Coffee-drinking kids may do better on school tests because they're more awake, but most task-to-task lab studies suggest that coffee doesn't really improve mental performance, says DePaulis.

But it helps kids' minds in another way. "There recently was a study from Brazil finding that children who drink coffee with milk each day are less likely to have depression than other children," he tells WebMD. "In fact, no studies show that coffee in reasonable amounts is in any way harmful to children."

On the flip side, it's clear that coffee isn't for everyone. Its legendary jolt in excess doses -- that is, more than whatever your individual body can tolerate -- can increase nervousness, hand trembling, and cause rapid heartbeat. Coffee may also raise cholesterol levels in some people and may contribute to artery clogging. But most recent large studies show no significant adverse affects on most healthy people, although pregnant women, heart patients, and those at risk for osteoporosis may still be advised to limit or avoid coffee.

The bottom line: "People who already drink a lot of coffee don't have to feel 'guilty' as long as coffee does not affect their daily life," says Hu. "They may actually benefit from coffee habits in the long run."

New studies have shown that if you filter your coffee as is done with paper filters in drip makers that there is no cholesterol risk. In fact the free radicals are increased with coffee drinking.


So for good health ......

DRINK MORE COFFEE!

AMEN to that PR

Thanks for the info: I am particularly interested in this because my mom died due to Parkinson related stroke, as did my aunt on my father's side. I already have been diagnosed with several autoimmune diseases and Parkinsons is not only an autoimmune disease, it is also genetic.

Translation: If you are jittery enough, diseases can't see you.

My grandfather died with (perhaps not OF) a form of Parkinson's, and my grandmother had Alzheimers, and their parents had the same things, so I am going to get up and brew some more
 COFFEE!

Right...................... ;) ;D

Your not drinking enought coffee!!! ;D

Right?

Tears from crying.

Thats not crying brother, this is crying..................... (http://bestsmileys.com/crying/2.gif)

Believe it or not .... I've had my fill of coffee for the day. It's time for some hot tea.

Oh sorry about that brother. (http://bestsmileys.com/lol/1.gif)

We should never cry over spilled coffee.
Or was it spilled mlik? Nahh it was coffee.

That's ok

That was spilled milk ...  now coffee that depends on how hot it was and where it spilled.  ;D ;D ;D

 ;D ;D ;D ;D

...on his keyboard.

Oh, well, it could be worse; he could have dropped his digital camera in his coffee.  :P

 :o :o :o :o

The coffee isn't so bad; the creamer is the killer.

Spilled milk is the saying, sister. But if you spill coffee................... :o :o :o

Oops!! :-\ :o

AMEN!! ;D

TEA?? :o :o

Yep a good cup of hot green tea before going to bed helps me a lot.

Okay, I drink coffee before hitting the hay. So I can see where it can help then. ;D

But PR, it's still the middle of the day  :-\

It wasn't when I said that I was going to have a cup of it. It was late at night.

 ;D ;D

Time warping!

Dizzy, I’m so dizzy my head is spinning
Like a whirlpool it never ends
And it’s You girl makin’ it spin
You're making me dizzy

First time that I saw You girl, I knew that I just had to make You mine
But it’s so hard to talk to You with fellows hangin’ round You all the time
I want You for my sweet pet, but You keep playing hard to get
I’m going round in circles all the time

Dizzy, I’m so dizzy my head is spinning
Like a whirlpool it never ends
And it’s You girl makin’ it spin
You're making me dizzy

I finally got to talk to You and I told You just exactly how I felt
Then I held You close to me and kissed You and my heart began to melt
Girl You've got control on me,cuz I’m so dizzy I can't see
I need to call a doctor for some help

Dizzy, I’m so dizzy my head is spinning
Like a whirlpool it never ends
And it’s You girl makin’ it spin
You're making me dizzy
my head is spinning
Like a whirlpool it never ends
And it’s You girl making it spin
You're making me dizzy
you're making me dizzy

Have you ever tried bottled Lipton Green Tea.  It is quite good.  I'm drinking some now.  Hmmm....coffee is only good with alot of sugar.  I like more sugar then coffee.

YUCK!! Sugar!!

No I haven't. The last bottled tea I drank tasted like it had sat out on the counter for a month. That kind of turned me away from any other bottled teas. I make it fresh from now.

Sun tea is good too.  I don't like hot tea.  It has to be chilled.

DW how do you drink coffee without sugar?  :-X

Very easily, but I like my coffee black. ;D ;D ;D

Have to have the strong stuff huh?  Not me.  I'm a wimp and proud of it.

Yup, I like my coffee pure. ;D ;D ;D ;D

Kris, you have a great one, and may God bless you tonight. I am heading off to bed............  :P :P :P

Still, yuck.  About the only time that I drink coffee is after church because they have it out in the commons.  I don't know why I got into that habit.


Ok, good night.  I'll bug you later.

Yah.  The only time I drink coffee is in the morning.  And sometimes in the late morning.  Then maybe a cup in the afternoon.  Maybe some around supper time.  Rarely right before an evening snack.  Never right before bed.  Unless I really want a cup.   ;D

Confessions of an addict.  ;D

True.  Soooooooooooooooo true!  :D ;D

 ;D ;D ;D ;D

Sounds good to me brother, pour me a cup please.

hmmm....another coffee discussion.  Glad I have mine this morning!   :P

Glad I have mine every morning!     ....  noon  ..... afternoon  .......  evening.    ;D ;D ;D ;D

Thank you brother.......... ;D ;D

Hmmmmmmmm another coffee addict. ;D ;D ;D ;D

Yep.

I'm not......................... ::) ::) ;) ::) ::)

Right ....   okayyy.

 ::) ::) ::)

Coffee PR??

Got more on the way.

Well I've got to get started on a sermon brother. I'll need more coffee, so I will see y'all later on tonight. In our section, I am going to leave a message. Now everyone one is going to try and guess what section, I'm talking about............. ;D ;D ;D ;D

Not me.

;D ;D ;D

I like a little coffee with my sugar .... uh ..... yah what I said  ;D

Our neighbor likes peanut-butter coffee. I have never tasted it, but she makes it sound delicious. Milk, sugar, coffee, and peanut butter, I think. (I tried to make some the other day. The blender wasn't screwed in tight enough and coffee leaked all over the counter. BUT it wasn't my counter, it was the counter of the person I'm house-sitting for, AND her mail was sitting on the counter.)
 :o

 :o :o :o :o :o

To me that would be a nightmare.................. :o :o

yeah, especially if it was a notice letting you know you just inherited  millions of $$$$, but you must present the letter.

You're Welcome! Ahem...one lump or two?   ;D  (Yes.  I've been watching Looney Tunes!  :D)

I'm not sure if I want to know how one comes up with such a combination  :D

None for me brother.......... ;D ;D ;D   I like mine black........... ;D ;D ;D ;D

Sounds like a nightmare, doesn't it Amorus. :o :o

Milk, Sugar, Coffee, Peanut Butter?.....a possible nightmare I would agree....but definitly not coffee.  Then again I like mine black as well DW.   Maybe we are just boring  :D

I know a woman who likes chick pea coffee (YUCK)
