COFFEE drinkers who have more than three cups a day could significantly increase their chances of suffering a heart attack.
Research suggests that some people who carry a particular variation of a gene cannot process caffeine as quickly as other people. Such individuals could be 60 per cent more likely to have a heart attack if they drink large amounts of coffee.
It is not known how common the gene variation is in the British population. Some studies indicate that up to a third of Caucasians may carry it.
Canadian scientists have discovered that people with the slower metabolism gene variation, known as *1F, run a dramatically higher risk even if they drink only two cups a day.
Researchers found that heavy coffee drinkers under the age of 50 were four times as likely to have an attack compared with those who had one cup a day.

Read post #72, it's really good.
Ganging up on me eh?
ROFL!! :-)
You ain't gettin my coffee, and I ain't going to rehab!
And if you think I'm stubborn, wait till you go after the prissy liberal latte' crowd! You clowns aint got a chance.
My Mom fried everything in lard and must have drank 10 cups of coffee a day. It's no wonder she only lived to be 89 years old.
It's time to put down the coffee and only use morally acceptable drugs. Like Levitra.
Free country, have all you want. LOL
Are you trying to sell me drugs, online????
That's a pretty brazen activity and could land you in jail.
Sounds like you need a break from your addictive computer use.
You should give it up immediately before you get caught!
:-)
I drink coffee all day, the coffee pot is never off or empty.
The only drawback is a lot of head calls at night to get rid of it. then back to bed and right to sleep. 160 lbs since about 17 yo. now 72 yo, same weight. Screw the worry warts.
What say we put a smile back on the little ladies face Joe. And it's only about $10.00 per ride; ready to give the old guy another try?
Are you a medical professional??
Are you giving medial advice over your computer??
Are you still drug dealing?
Is this legal or just another of your addictions that in time will get you caught?
You may need counseling. Turn yourself in to the nearest mental health facility and have them check you out. You don't seem well. Please give up your computer, it's ruining you.
"just where have you been all these years?"
I've been long enough to know people like you are FOS.
Now calm down there Joe. We all get upset when things go south in the sack. It's nothing to get worked up about. It happens to all of us. Except me, of course.
Uh oh, I can hear them coming for me...got to get away...find Joe...help him with his ED...
TG I'm safe. I don't drink the stuff.
Instead, I just eat a handful or two of chocolate covered coffee beans five times a day.
Would you mind telling me where you bought your bladder? I could use one like it.
Good luck. Drink deep, eh.
