A recent study actually showed a decreased risk of suicide in coffee drinkers.

Obviously moderation is a key here too.

Well I think we're discussing physical health more than mental health. As coffee may be a stress reliever/coping mechanism for someone, that doesn't necessarily make it "healthy"

Checking for dietary deficiencies is not routine and is often not what one would think would occur. For instance, iron deficiency is often simply inferred from an abnormal CBC or a low hematocrit rather than any direct measurement of iron. The problem is that other conditions will produce an identical picture.

In the case of B vitamins, most physicians will assume a patient is not deficient unless the patient is a vegetarian.

It was kind of tongue in cheek and more of a statement about how not everything is black and white.

I had just come across the study today and found it interesting. Another factor to consider in the piles of information out there n everything.

Not that it relates to this thread but from the "which poster have you met in real life thread"

My last blood test, the doctor came back and said "I have some really startling results..."

I figured I finally had super AIDS, but instead I had "the lowest level of vitamin D he's ever come across in an otherwise completely healthy young adult"

I'm on 4000IU a day for a year to see what that does.

If you don't have superAIDS you're not living hard enough.
