As a big consumer or sugar in my coffee, this story is a little scary: http://www.futurity.org/soda-brain-1408922/
@FadingAway You expected the adulteration of coffee with foreign substances to be good for you?
@DaveHiggins Perhaps not "good" for me, but I expected sugar would be benign. Now I'm conflicted. Should I give up coffee altogether, or suffer through coffee's natural bitterness?
@FadingAway Tricksy question. If you give up coffee then there's more for the rest of us.
However, it is also a most wonderous thing; so I wouldn't convince anyone to deny themselves.
@FadingAway Good coffee helps if one wants to give up coffee: discovering subtle flavours that the sugar was masking gives one a noticeable positive to focus on from day one.
@DaveHiggins It's my one vice. I don't think I could give up coffee (w/sugar) for more than a month.
