    Don't like it. Don't drink it. Don't care if it's good or bad either.

    This study only is about reducing diabetes (three cups reduces diabetes risk by single digits: six cups cut men's risk by 54%, women's by 30%). However the article does mention other research studies that indicate:

    - 80% less likely to develop Parkinson's, with three showing the more they drink, the lower the risk.
    - 25% reduced risk of colon cancer with two cups daily
    - 80% drop in liver cirrhosis risk
    - half the risk of gallstones

    I know nothing about the validity of these other studies, although this one does have a large sample size. Still, there is no comparison of the adverse affects of drinking coffee to balance these benefits. As the article states, coffee increases nervousness, hand trembling, causes rapid heartbeat (higher risk for cardiac arrest), and raises cholesterol levels contributing to artery clogging - among others. Pregnant women, heart patients, and those at risk for osteoporosis are advised to limit or avoid coffee.

    I like my coffee like I like my women; ground up, boiled, and passed through a filter
