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.

According to a press release.

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

They are not a reputable organization. Their website advertises
Caracol cream, if you know what that is. (Quack medicine
made from snails.)

If that's the best support you can find, it just shows
the poverty of evidence you've got.

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.

If you only look at diabetes risk and ignore cholesterol risk,
then you may conclude that coffee is good. That is a lot
different from analyzing overall risk. When the negative
effects of coffee are ignored, of course it would look good.
That's true of anything, if you ignore the negative effects.
It's true of tobacco, for example.

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.

Yes, I know who the AMA is. They are a professional
organization for doctors. They do not conduct research
studies. They publish studies in their journal, but
there's no such thing as "studies by the American
Medical Association" on the health effects of coffee.

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

Yes, they are a newspaper. They also do not conduct
research studies. One may as well cite an article
in _Reader's_Digest_.

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?

There is not "overwhelming data to the contrary".
That is your ignorant delusion because you lack
the ability to tell the difference between good
data and bad. You don't know the difference between
a study and an article in the popular press.
You are a fool.
