My first thought was I could have sworn I read something about coffee being bad for you not too long ago. Second thought, I wonder who funded this study. Thirdly, there was research showing that most nutrition research is nonsense.

Everything we were told about cholestoral, fat and food pyramid turned out to be nonsense.

I just ignore most of these nutrition "studies" and just stick to moderation and live my life.

Scientists have been collectively saying coffee is good for you, with more and more confidence, for about 30 years now. If you keep hearing that's it's bad, it means you need to improve your information sources.

To be fair, and maybe it's my bias as a coffee drinker speaking here, but from what I've observed so far, moderate coffee consumption seems to much more often be assessed as positive, health-wise, or at least "not bad".

And this seems entirely in contrast to, say, alcohol.
