a' I have hosen the topi of offee or affeine' /any years ago researhers and
dotors alike felt that the onsu,ption of offee was leading various different
proble,s through out ones body' 0lthough with in the past ouple of years the views
on the onsu,ption of offee has hanged fro, bad to good'
%' What health lai,s are stated in the artiles& suh as drinking offee every day will lower one1s risk
for aner-
a' In all of the artiles that I have read there have been views fro, the past and then
views fro, the present' In the past the onsu,ption of offee was onsidered bad&
researhers and dotors alike believed that the intake of offee was going to ause a
stunt in ones growth& a high risk of heart disease and a high risk of developing
aner' 2oday it is +uite the opposite& researhers and dotors alike believe that the
onsu,ption of offee ,ay atually be benefiial to ones helath' Suh as aiding in
the protetion of ones body against parkinsons disease& type % diabetes and also

artile that I a, using it states that there have been so,e studies on the effets of
offee on pre#al5hei,er and de,entia patients' In so,e ases it was states that
offee and or affeine was thought to stave off the de,entia for a longer ti,e period
than that of so,eone who was not onsu,ing offee' 2his to ,e is a little too good to
be true& but in a way I understand why and how it ould be possible' !offee and
affeine sti,ulate the brain and al,ost give it a kik start and so,e fuel to run on& I
an see where that would help 0l5hei,er and de,entia patients and even help to
stave off either of the two'

ti,es& one in the past and another fro, the present' 2he past theories have either
been disproved or proved to be orret' 2o so,e drinking offee is benefiial to
toehrs it ould hinder and har,' So,e of the theories fro, the present have ;ust
been reated and are ;ust beginning out and have yet to ,ake any real ground
breaking leaps in infor,ation as of ;ust yet'
<' Now that you have gone through the details of eah artile& do you have any reservations about the
infor,ation in either one- If so& explain why' =as the proess of analy5ing the two artiles hanged
your opinion on the topi- "xplain your answer'
a' I feel the sa,e about both artiles si,ply beause both of the, are saying al,ost the
exat sa,e infor,ation' 9oth state that in the past offee was viewed to be har,ful
to those onsu,ing it and today that it ould be benfiial to ertain people' I a, an
avid offee drinker& ,orning& noon& and night I drink offee& si,ply whenever I need
that extra little boost to ao,plish the ,illion things I do in one day& yes it ould be
