		<description>Salam,

I&#039;d like to point out my disagreement with some of your statements.

It is incorrect to say that &quot;Recent studies have shown that drinking more coffee can lead to better health by reducing chances of heart disease, and thus, eventually, lead to a longer life.&quot;

The study was conducted as an observational study. Data were collected through questionnaire. There&#039;s no causation can be concluded. In fact, the researchers emphasized that &quot;the study design does not allow them to make definitive conclusions about coffee&#039;s value in protecting against heart disease. They believe other factors may play a part in protecting coffee drinkers and that further study is needed.&quot; When a study is not designed as a randomized experiment, other factors (other than coffee) are very easy to enter the scene to interfere with the results.

Another issue is about water, &quot;Too much water can be deadly&quot; only if you drink to a degree that your stomach cannot hold any more and then explode.  For most of us, we&#039;re not drinking enough water every day.

In my opinion, if one follows the main-stream media&#039;s advice, one can get sick very quickly. Isn&#039;t it true that most of us are sick and take pills at a very young age?</description>
