10. It would be wrong to say that coffee is the silver bulllet for proper health.

I know, because I experienced the full gamut.

When I ate and exercised poorly, coffee actually sped up the symptoms that debilitated me. I called it blood sugar drops. Maybe I was borderline diabetic, but it never got far enough to require medical intervention. I just recovered on my own by limiting myself to four to six ounces of coffee a day. And then I went on a big health kick, exercising more, taking vitamin supplements and eating better.

Now I am so healthy that I can sip up to four cups of a coffee throughout the morning without any deleterious effects. And, yes, I am more alert and energetic enough to continue my exercise regime. So I agree with the following quote:

"Perhaps coffee drinkers also are more likely to exercise more, drink less alcohol, eat healthier diets or engage in other habits that boost their health."
