Because coffee is a healthy beverage why don’t more of us drink it?

An interesting article in this regard in The New York Times posed a question. “I Don’t Drink Coffee. Should I Start?”

Counting yourself out from the 64 percent of Americans who drink at least one cup a day can invite bewildered responses from dedicated coffee drinkers.

To them, the benefits are clear, the drawbacks minimal.

Being in the minority, it’s easy to wonder:

Have I been making a mistake? Should I and other coffee abstainers start now?

“This is kind of an individual decision.”

The point the doctors make in this article is that we know that coffee is not bad for you and has lots of positive health effects including living longer.

But, should we all drink coffee? In other words should we treat coffee as a medicine like those that people take to treat high blood pressure or too much cholesterol?

Those folks would need to consider how much discomfort they would be willing to undergo in order to experience the benefits of drinking coffee. And, what are those benefits again?

More recent work shows that the reduction in the incidence of Alzheimer’s goes up with the number of cups of coffee that a person drinks each day.
