Just where do you drink coffee that's not been filtered? I use the
unbleached filters, as do a fair number of resturants I frequent.

You didn't post any studies. You posted links to a press release
and some popular articles, not to any primary sources. Not one
addresses the safety question raised by the clinical study paper
I linked to. You can't reliably say coffee is safe if you only
consider the positive effects and ignore the negative effects.
You have to balance the risk vs. the benefit, and nothing you
linked to takes the cholesterol-raising risk into account in
determining the overall effect onn health.

You could post a hundred irrelevant press releases and
popular articles, and that would not discredit the study
published in the British Medical Journal one bit. There's
a huge difference between a popular article and a peer-reviewed
scientific paper. Quality is more important than quantity.

Virtually all French press and espresso coffee is
not filtered through paper filters. Without that,
the cholesterol risk is present.

OK lets look at it this way, Harvard Medical school did a 18 year
study, found moderate coffee drinking to be no risk to our health,
actually it's got some real beneficial properties.

The American Anti Aging Association representing 22,000 physicians in
105 countries posted the Harvard study.

The Web MD thought it was worth mentioning as well.

After analyzing data on 126,000 people for as long as 18 years,
Harvard researchers calculate that compared with not partaking in
America's favorite morning drink, downing one to three cups of
effeminates coffee daily can reduce diabetes risk by single digits.
But having six cups or more each day slashed men's risk by 54% and
women's by 30% over java avoiders.

Then there were the studies by the American Medical Association, you
do know who they are right? They think moderate coffee drinking to be
acceptable.

The New York Times thought it news worthy enough to put in their
paper as a feature, you know who they are right?.

I wasn't trying to discredit the study published in the British
Medical Journal, but there's overwhelming data to the contrary, so
who's studys is correct?
