There was an interesting article in Scientific American a number of years ago contributed by the chief scientist at Illy. he pointed out that any number of studies have been done to prove that coffee in general and caffeine in particular are bad for you, and every single one of them has found some sort of positive (albeit often negligible) health benefit.

Now on the one hand, this is the chief scientist at Illy. It's kind of like trusting the chief scientist at RJR when he tells you that cigarettes don't cause cancer. On the other hand, he had a lot of data to back him up.
