    It's a diuretic, which causes you to pee more, which can dehydrate you if you are not drinking enough water.
    Simple science.
    There is NOTHING simple about science.

    How is coffee going to dehydrate you? How many pots a day are you drinking?

    As for coffee's benefits, let's see, reduced risk of Type 2 Diabetes (consumption of 6 cups a day,) reduced risk of stroke, heart arrhythmia, dementia, Alzheimer's, and hypertension.

    nice, I have been staving off diabetes and I didn't even know it

    I have one cup a day. The coffee isn't bad, it's the creamer I put into it. I love french vanilla cream and the fat free kind is 20-25 cals per tbsp. Sugar free is 15 cals so I've recently switched to that. I generally have 2 tbsp per cup (so, 2 tbsp per day). I just bought some Designer Women's Aria Protein Powder and was thinking about putting coffee into that in the AM instead of drinking the coffee separately. Sounds like a good idea. I get the benefits of the coffee still (people don't die), I get the protein and if I add a dash of PB2 I get a little more protein and peanut butter flavor......
    MMmmmm.... coffee-peanut butter-vanilla (or chocolate) morning beverage sounds delightful!

    The pros are it keeps me from killing people early in the morning. The cons? I can't think of any.

    the con is, sometimes people need to be killed

    LMAO!!!!!

    French press is higher in cholesterol. The way it is made it extracts more cholesterol from the beans. Good thing I don't have a cholesterol problem!! Other than that It's not bad, just log the mix-ins and drink plenty water too :-)

    My only problem with coffee is when I have more than 2 cups I turn into Cornholio (Beavis and Butthead) but beyond that I thoroughly enjoy a cup in the AM
