Plain black coffee has, somewhat surprisingly, been repeatedly demonstrated to be very healthy - with substantial reductions in all-cause mortality as well as the chances of developing cardiovascular disease.

Lots of morning-and-day soda and energy drink consumers. More than we even see, assuredly.
