ABC: Coffee Extract Linked to Weight Loss

I am so glad to read that, because besides beating the tiredness and putting an extra spring in my step, it gives me another justification for taking in more of this dark brown, taste bud-pleasing liquid.

Not that I needed one, but some hypochondriacs would like to see a total abstinence of coffee and I don't know where I would be without this energy drink, especially in the early morning hours and when the afternoon fatigue sets in.

It all comes down to moderation, but that goes for practically everything we eat and drink in this day and age. I don't think a few daily cups would/could hurt, but the potential risk for health problems, of which some are rather severe, is ever present.

So, now I am faced with contradictions whether coffee has benefits, or is just another drawback to my physical well being. This uncertainty is not a comfortable place to be in and all these studies coming up with opposing results are of no help at all.

I guess I have to weigh the pros and cons and trust my own reasoning concerning the matter. Let me ponder on that for a bit, while I pour myself another cup of Java!
