Well, at 54%, it might be time for my imbibing to increase heavily
(currently at about a cup a month, *maybe*).
54% of what? What was the risk originally in the first place? Never
make a health decision based on percentages alone. That goes for all
statistics including all of the ones Bob posted. Not saying coffee is
or isn't healthful, just commenting on the loose use of such statistics.
I wasn't actually serious except to suggest that I won't worry if I
happen to drink a lot at any given time.
