note that you're highlighting the bringer of the message, dr. martin. he's not the one conducting all those studies though. don't 'believe' these people, believe in your own rhetoric: that it's true that there is a scientific consensus that coffee poses no risk and if anything, that it helps your health, so it seems to be safe to assume that you can drink coffee. take into account that this is just about black coffee, not that starbucks you're talking about;)
