Is one cup of good, black coffee in the morning all that harmful?

Supposedly, that's almost ideal from what I've heard. :Thmbsup:

My new favorite coffee quote.
Edvard:
^Hehe, now mine as well.
^I was curious how coffee is decaffeinated. I find I often dont react well to the dacafs I've tried but that could be more to do with me than the coffee.
Came across this site talking about the various processes - methods are interesting, worth a read:
How is coffee decaffeinated?
(FWIW apparently they're aiming to produce a GMO decaf coffee.)

Yes, there are quite a lot of ways to decaffeinate coffee, all with the aim of extracting the caffeine but not the flavor.
... and the naturally decaffeinated coffee I heard of is not GMO, but a naturally occurring species know as Coffea Charrierianaw. Can't wait to try some.

Some while back - late 2012, methinks, but not certain - there was a blurb about [medical] research redefining the benefits of coffee/caffeine. Seems that two (2) cups a day aids some physical/mental functionality. Been trying to find it ever since :(. The actual paper - at least the part that was published - described the benefits, but, of course, I read it, thought, "Hey that's good," and promptly ditched it.
[Edit]
No, I didn't ditch it. A study finds that older adults who drink java are less likely to die than those who don't. Subjects who averaged four or five cups per day fared best, though it's not clear why. source

However, at the time, I found other resources for validation that I cannot remember now. Obviously, I'm not drinking enough coffee :P.

Same thing, but what I read was related to the relationship between the rate of the loss of cognitive function in diabetics and the amount of caffeine they consumed. (more caffeine = slower rate of loss) I thought "Hey that's good!", promptly ditched it, AND stopped complaining about my husband drinking my tea (unless he becomes excessive or drinks one of my special teas without permission)
And with scientists wanting to call Alzheimer's Type 3 Diabetes, I am thinking it might be a good idea to watch your carbs and drink more coffee/tea (without sugar). :D

I also listened to an interview on National Public Radio several months ago in which a medical study had come out stating that moderate consumption of caffeinated coffee was actually shown to be positively correlated with decreased occurrence of prostate cancer in men.
