Coffee and tea may protect against stroke and dementia

Drink up on your coffee and tea!  Although one thing that annoys me on these studies is the methodology: what is a 'cup' of coffee or tea? Is it eight fluid ounces, or is it a 'cup' as per the coffee maker, which can vary anywhere from 4-6 ounces?  My current coffee maker has a 10 'cup' capacity, which measures out at 50 ounces.

Gonna live forever!

A cup? In the name of science I put my Keith Richards hat on once and snorted a line of matcha powder. Ought to take care of that pesky stroke for awhile.

Worked with a guy who would drink 3-5 pots a day while at work. Said he also drank a pot before leaving the house and one when he got home. Had a coffee mug labeled "Coffee Pot To Go" which would, you guess it, hold an entire pot. He still fell asleep at work, sometimes while holding the mug, never spilled a drop though. Kept a coffee maker in his work bench just in case the office one broke.

My favorite studies are the ones that point out that whatever I am already in the habit of doing is beneficial to me.  Even better if they promote the idea that a single, slightly implausible change in lifestyle is likely to have widespread benefits to a heterogenous audience.

Also, how strong is the coffee brewed?
And where does the "cups" measure for a coffee maker come from, anyway?  On my coffee maker, each cup works out to 150ml (5 fl oz)
I drink "6 cups" per day, as measured by my coffee maker.  Comes out to 30.7fl oz.  To that, I use 1/4 cup of coffee grounds.

Certainly makes for a popular phd thesis!

There is an ISO standard cup of tea.

ISO3103

there's one for coffee as well.

For our 50 ounces of drip coffee in the Zojirushi coffee maker, I grind 3/4 cup of coffee beans.  I usually roast our coffee to a 'full city plus' level.

Bonus round, can you tell me where to find the standards the control the dimensions and tolerance of TIG torch parts?  In what spec would I find, say, the dimensions of a collet for a type 17 tig torch?

If you have sleep problems, it don't matter how much coffee you drink.

But since I'm feeling generous ...

That is for tea, not coffee.  RTFM.

Due to my heart condition, I can't tolerate any amount of caffeine, but I drink decaffeinated tea.

Unfortunately, the study doesn't seem to mention what component(s) in the coffee and/or tea  provide the stroke protection, so I don't have any way of judging whether or not my tea consumption is helping me.

If we're playing that game...

Manly men like their coffee good and hot. That's why I prefer to drink half of a very small cup at a time.  :P

Meh on this kind of article.  "Spinach can kill you!"  "Spinach extends life 36.7879441% !"

Studies show 63.2120558% of studies are bullshit. 

Coffee ain't coffee less'n you can chew it and have a spoon stand up in it.
