Quoting Ralph Shumaker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
One thing they didn't spell out, and I wonder about, is if the food choices made by the heavy drinkers of coffee were affected by their heavy drinking of coffee. Fruit is appealing unless you just ate some chocolate. I wonder if the high levels of caffeine (or other substance from the coffee) affected their food choices.
What you're asking sounds a lot like those articles that came out a few months back with the headlines like "Drinking sodas linked to health issues" and such. If you actually read the article, what the conclusions seemed to say were that people who tended to drink soda, tended to have other habits that often lead to health issues (metabolic something). But that the soda (including diet) wasn't a cause. But the couple of articles I read all seemed to start out with something like "if you drink soda (even diet) you're more likely to have health issues..." which seemed to imply a casual relationship, likely on purpose to grab readers' attention.
