These studies are pretty much useless. There are far too many variable factors that affect mortality. You can invent any condition and monitor it as far as a study group goes and infer some percentage of benefit or not. Like people eating corn flakes on Friday were 13% less likely to die than people eating corn flakes on Monday.

Government or MAGA or anyone in the DC Swamp would not have many troubles if they EVER told the truth about anything. I have not followed any epstein nonsense but you can bet there is only ONE truth to the whole situation. It will never be discovered because as usual politicians and big time muckity mucks want to protect their false reputations.

hey, y'all, I love my 2 cups of black coffee every morning & just celebrated my 75th bday, happily &, I believe, mentally alert...

I've loved using y'all for many, many years; have seriously debated the fact that it does, indeed, make the most sense when referring to plurals. btw, I grew up in CO. I now live where "y'all" is very common

Coffee has benefits in medical situations and social and creative avenues. More benefits than I can list here!! Best to find authentically grown, managed, and utilized. Of course, really can go without saying because wise people are also wise consumers! Makes life an adventure and significantly Joyful to be present.

I just received my new Moccamaster coffee maker earlier this week as my old OXO Barista Brain maker needed to be replaced. While I loved the coffee from the OXO the Moccamaster is even better! It is also simpler to use and the caraf keeps coffee warmer longer. Mmmm…

I guess Education Secretary Linda McMahon will be out of a job soon - unless she is moved to the defense secretary or secretary of health and human services. Or, she could head up the Epstein coverup. /s

I pity anyone with student debt these days. That is one huge cloud hanging over that whole destruction of an entire department. Congress has turned itself into such a joke. Also, someone made the comment that the supreme court had no trouble finding President Biden’s student debt relief programs unconstitutional but completely eradicating an entire governmental department is just A-OK with them. Make it make sense, someone please!

I have to wonder if they studied only people who drink coffee but do not smoke or use illicit drugs. A lot of coffee drinkers also enjoy lighting up their morning cigarette. Were smokers excluded from the study? What about those who are genetically predisposed to heart disease or cancer? Someone once said there are three types of people: Liars, damn liars and statisticians.

Reminds me of Woody Allen’s movie Sleeper where he woke up in the future to find that cigarettes and chocolate pudding are healthy. Just comedy, so please take it that way.

I suppose it is fitting that the Donald is going to do himself in by biting the hand that feeds him on such a non-issue. This despite the incessant, calculated efforts of Left mob & neo-progressive cult.

While I am not a fan of the Donald per se, it has been enjoyable observing meltdown after meltdown of the more hypocritical side...

Melting clearly occurs on both sides. And if this were a non-issue he could quickly prove it by releasing everything.

‘Per se’ is a Latin term which literally means, “by itself”, “in itself” or “of itself”. This means you’re taking something out of its context to describe it in its own right. It is often misused in everyday speech It has become a conversational buzzword. It’s a way for people to fill in gaps between ideas. This is then subconsciously adapted by many people without fully considering the meaning.

non sequiter is also Latin. It means you are off topic and only care about your own narrative.

You opened the door with your choice of grammar. The rest of my comment was pertinent. We can agree to disagree, then we no longer have to argue which is really what you are looking for.

Even if the facts disagree, I am impressed by your confidence.

I know you like pointing out when I am correct, as in my use of "per se" in this case.

Can’t argue with nonsensical and obtuse ; it is a boring endeavor. I’m done with your silliness for today. Enjoy the last word.

It’s not the “left mob” that 47 or anyone should be concerned about but the truly mobbed up current occupant of the golf course inhabiting president. Those roots go deep too; like as far back as his old man so he learned from his daddy’s knee. Then he got in with the Russian mob. That’s when things really get interesting.

Black coffee drinker here for sure. Am so very lucky too. My coffee is grown three hours from me so what I get is fresh and delicious.

As for that new Russian, I hope he rots over there.

Had to look up Eswatini. It’s in Southern Africa and used to be called Swaziland. This “administration” is renditioning, not deporting, people in our name. I’d almost bet that after they’re gone, this bunch here no longer cares what happens to anyone they kick out. My question is, who will they do this to next?

And the last story about Y’ALL did my Southern heart good. Lord knows I’ve been saying y’all for decades! You’ve made my day with this bit Bill.
