Pros and cons aside, I believe it is important to live. So, if coffee gives you that little happy feeling every day, I say go for it.

Hi to all.....
This is a wonderful thread.
Coffee is one of those delights I look forward to.
I use organic. Since I've got a fairly clean existence, I figure the coffee isn't adding that much to my "total load".
I don't need any justification but it's always nice to read items like the one below.....
"Experts now generally agree that there is no consistent scientific evidence to prove coffee is detrimental to your health ... A recent study at the University of California at Davis even suggests that coffee may be good for you ... freshly brewed coffee contains antioxidant compounds that may carry as much power as vitamins C and E." Denise Webb
And then we all know..... "Behind every successful woman...is a substantial amount of coffee." Stephanie Piro
Wish we could all sit down and share a cup.....

Howdi, i have noticed some people are drinking "organic coffee". I would like to ask, what is "inorganic coffee ?" ?

Organic is better because they use a lot of pesticides and other chemicals in growing coffee plus there are a lot of unfair practices in the coffee world so I have been switching to organic and fair trade coffee. I also have switched to natural process decaf to play it safe. Not sure the caffeine is an issue or not but caffeine is a rare treat for me now.
I also stick with my own home roasted coffee. I roasted up a nice sumatra the other night and had some this morning. A nice caramely, rustic flavor....hmmmm no sugar or cream required. Wish I could share some with you all.
Keep in mind, a study showing that coffee may be okay or even good for people, may not take into account people who are not well or those with Lyme, etc.
I feel the same about supplements. I feel I can get all I need nutritionally from the organic foods I eat, but not with Lyme.
I wonder if the antioxidant content of coffee is only high if fresh roasted as with any food...losses nutrients over time. I doubt most commercially packaged coffee has much antioxidant power remaining.
