Coffee is good for you

George Q. Cannon on the subject of the WoW in the Journal of Discourses:

He was way ahead of his time.

The culture of fish has been alluded to. Physiologists say that fish contains more of the elements necessary to strengthen and build up the brain than almost any other known substance. It would supply a great want if we had it in abundance. But our supply of this article of food is very limited, and hence we are taught at the present time to take measures for its increase. I see no reason why we should not raise our own fish as we do our eggs or chickens. This Territory is better adapted to the raising of fish, in consequence of our system of irrigation, than any on the Continent we know anything of, and I believe that the time is not far distant when our farmers will raise fish for their own tables as they now raise beef, mutton, pork, fruit or any other article of diet now in use. It can be done easily by bestowing a little attention, thought and care on the subject.

I believe that we enslave our women; we crush out their lives by following the pernicious habits of our forefathers in this respect. We sit down to table and, especially if we have friends, our tables are covered with every delicacy and variety that we can think of. I believe in variety at different meals, but not at one meal.

I do wonder why some studies suggest some health benefits. It is a diuretic and acidic.

that's pretty funny, topper

A way to make a change without making it a change is to remove the question from the temple recommend interview. They could substitute it with an alcohol question.

that doesn't change much, especially because the WoW isn't uniformly against alcohol.

Another Large-Scale Study Just Justified Your Coffee Habit

Go ahead and pour yourself another cup of coffee.


A new, large-scale, long-term study adds to the growing body of evidence that coffee consumption is, in fact, good for you.


Published today in the American Heart Association journal Circulation, the study found that moderate coffee drinkers (which the researchers define as those who consume three to five cups a day) experienced a lower risk of deaths from cardiovascular disease, neurological diseases, Type 2 diabetes and suicide. In addition, coffee consumption was not associated with cancer deaths.

"This study provides further evidence that moderate consumption of coffee may confer health benefits in terms of reducing premature death due to several diseases," senior author Frank Hu said in a statement. "These data support the 2015 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Report that concluded that 'moderate coffee consumption can be incorporated into a healthy dietary pattern.'"

What's perhaps most impressive about the study is its scale – the findings are based on data from three ongoing studies, comprising of a total of more than 200,000 participants who filled out validated food questionnaires every four years, some for up to 30 years. During the follow-up period, more than 31,000 participants died of various causes. (Analyses took into consideration potential confounding factors such as smoking, body mass index, physical activity, alcohol consumption and other dietary factors.)
