Coffee is healthy, lastest studies report

Don't we hear this same stuff in the lay press about the reports from "more and more studies" only with "coffee" being substituted with "chocolate" or "red wine" or some other such vice?

I wonder if this is more copy than news.

In article in today's Chicago Tribunehttp://www.chicagotribune.com/features/food/chi- 0407070186jul07,1,1948678.storystates in part:***Though the virtues of coffee drinking may have been debated in the past, now there appear to be new reasons to rejoice over java. More and more studies have linked coffee consumption to a number of health benefits, including a reduced risk of diabetes, Parkinson's disease, gallstones, colon cancer and potentially heart disease."Coffee has much more in it than caffeine," said Dr. PeMartin, director of the Vanderbilt University's Institute for Coffee Studies, which conducts medical research on coffee and is funded by a grant from a consortium of coffee-producing countries. "It's a very complex beverage that contains hundreds of compounds, including many with antioxidant effects."***
