Via productivity weblog DumbLittleMan comes this pretty comprehensive list of The Pros And Cons of Coffee Drinking. Most interesting to me:

Antioxidants. Coffee is loaded with antioxidants like chlorogenic acid and melanoidins.

But you need to balance the potential good with the potential harm, especially dehydration during cold winters, which will have you reaching for the skin moisturizing cream.

I am defintely addicted at this point. It’s worth it though. I quit once for awhile but then I just figured, “what’s the point?”
