So true moses, but how would you rate the health effects of drinking several cups of coffee a day? Eating lost of fatty foods? Living a sedentary lifestyle?

Great topic. Let's look at coffee first. If you do not have hypertension or cardiac arrhythmias, there is not much evidence that coffee is dangerous. (I only drink 1-2 small cups a day. If I wanted more. I'd drink it.)
Poor diet and a sedentary lifestyle can be a deadly combination
if they are associated with obesity or coronary vascular disease.
Rather than reading every medical report to figure out how to live your life, people should tailor their lifestyles based on their personal and family medical histories. If your family is filled with diabetics, avoid obesity and a carbohydrate-rich diet. If early heart attacks plague your family, you might be a candidate for cholesterol lowering meds, aspirin, etc. If your family has a history of sedentary smokers that live to be 100 years old, then do whatever the hell you want.
