on coffee: section 1

"how old is she?"
is there an age limit for coffee now?

here honey, have this 152 oz. cup of soda, with free refills, but don't drink coffee because it's not healthy.

time to hit the science journals...

"one study, conducted by the harvard university school of public health, shows that the risk for developing type II diabetes is lower among regular coffee drinkers."

"predominantly in epidemiological studies, there have been associations between coffee consumption and lowered rates of certain illnesses, like suicide, parkinson's disease, alzheimer's, type II diabetes, colon cancer and heart disease."

"caffeine is also what helps in treating asthma and headaches."

"a study from brazil found that children who drank coffee everyday were less likely to suffer depression."

okay, so let's compare that to soda... do i really have to or is it clear enough? i think it's obvious but i will post sources for the above claims as well as some research on soda just to make it glaringly apparent that me giving coffee to kellyn is not child abuse as some local bakery shop workers would like to imply.

stay tuned...
