I’ve always been confused by the “new agey” health food fanatical activists who polemicize vociferously about the evils of coffee, linking it to all manner of health problems based on spurious or non existent “studies” when there is really nothing more “natural” the a naturally growing coffee bean. What I’ve come to conclude that the hatred many in the “new age health food world” feel for coffee is really a projection of their hatred for “big business” which obviously controls the entire coffee industry.

Or is the “new age health food” constituency so elitist that they only believe they should be allowed to reap the benefits of this natural wonder with real scientific credibility to back up the claims? I suspect it’s both a dislike of big business and elitism.
Well the evidence is incontrovertible:
