I think coffee ANYTHING is BAD>
I feel allergic to even hearing the word - coffee this, coffee that.
If I know coffee is a fake and evil substance to start with, why does a "coffeecake" - ! -
make it any better ?
Just kidding, but why DID they name that snack COFFEEcake ?
Why not Teacake which would sound CIVILIZED, at least !

All those things are sent from the devil, I believe, to lure humans...

Plain bread and greens are healthy and sufficient.

Well, I am not an advocate for coffee by any means, but I would not take things to such an extent, Barbara. Not saying you're wrong, but just that over the years I find it harder and harder to take a black and white position on the small stuff of life. On Religious issues that the Church has defined, yes. But on things like coffee, or was 911 and inside job, or are they really trying to take away american people's guns to prepare for a dictatorship, etc etc, No, I don't think I can make any hard conclusions, though I might feel some valid arguments could be made for various questions on various topics.

I agree. Coffee that is drunk immediately after it is brewed appears to be good for our health as it is rich in antioxidants, but coffee that sits in a pot on a hot burner loses its nutrient value and may even be harmful.

Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me a sinner.
