So..... where is the sighted study showing that coffee causes weight gain? :head: This looks like one of those A causes B. B causes C. Therefore A causes C. D contains A therefore D is bad. Caffeine causes stress which causes high glucose levels, the glucose doesn't get used, then the glucose goes back into the body and becomes fat...... Huh? Coffee contains caffeine therefore coffee makes you fat. Salt causes high blood pressure, high blood pressure causes heart attacks. Therefore salt causes heart attacks. Then a study shows that people that have a slightly higher intake of salt have a lower rate of heart attacks. Being over weight causes many different health issues. Therefore you should within the "healthy range". Yet another study comes out and finds that people that are slightly above the "healthy range" have a lower mortality rate.. Stupid article.
