Wow, Bill's link provides various coffee links in one neat package and brings back memories.
It's really worth clicking on it (he did such a smart search, so thanks, kid):

I've only been here for a few of these discussion over the last couple of years, so it's interesting to see that they've gone on forever.
I remember one thing that stuck with me, even thought the studies in favor of coffee abound.
That one thing bugged me and was discussed way too little, in my opinion. It was posted here by a young fellow named GraniteKonig:

So although there's an abundance of studies suggesting coffee may be beneficial, I don't know if they take into account that people who are treating are often on painkillers.
Susan, soccer day and wondering what to drink....
(For those who suggest coffee may have minimized their fibrosis over decades, I should add to the mix that I'm not a coffee drinker because I get too wired. Despite not benefiting from it, I didn't have much fibrosis. So the lack of coffee in my diet didn't negatively affect me, despite having the virus for forty years.)
