Hang on, I'm not saying that I think it is harmful, just that I wouldn't be surprised if it were eventually found to be harmful. Thanks for the link anyway.

Edit - A great line from that link:

    Sniffing roasted coffee aromas that have been fractionated by a gas chromatograph is an enlightening experience: one may recognize the aroma of roses, Darjeeling tea, chocolate, vanilla and violets, as well as truffles, soup, cheese, sweat and even what is called cat scent which, if diluted, smells like sauvignon blanc wine but in a concentrated sample is disgusting.

You're saying "I wouldn't be surprised if caffeine were found to be harmful."

I'm saying that people have been trying to prove caffeine is harmful with astonishing frequency and have come up with goose eggs.
