Coffee is good for your heart

In a report on tonight's TV news, the "health experts" have done one of their famous U turns. From telling us that coffee is evil, and we should avoid it at all costs as it will cause heart problems, they are now saying the opposite. Now, three cups of coffee a day is acceptable and in fact can even help ward off heart disease and stroke.
I love my coffee, and I intend to keep drinking it any way, but it's good to know that it now has the official tick of approval ... at least, until the "experts*" change their minds again.
(*What's the definition of an "expert?" Well, an "ex" is a has-been, and a "spurt" is a drip under pressure.)

I used to love coffee but when I had a stroke several years ago, I suddenly went off it and now I can't stomach it at all. On the other hand, I had never liked tea and now I really enjoy a good strong cuppa. The continual conflicts of expert opinion are not helpful. I like to think that all things are okay in moderation.

I love coffee and don't have a heart condition. Both my late father-in-law and my husband have a heart condition. They both can't drink coffee. It has a bad effect.

I do drink coffee but not too much. There are some days when I don't drink it.

Yes my father went for years eating only egg whites after a heart attack. Now they are a super food!

I think certain foods do not affect us all the same way. If I decided to drink coffee at night I would be up all night - but a friend of mine has it strong and black and it does not seem to affect her. I have one cup of decaf mostly - but the health experts say that whether decaf or not - coffee can cause digestive problems.
