Does a Cup of Coffee a Day Keep the Doctor Away?

Even though I wake up before the sun rises, I’m not a coffee drinker. If I need a boost, I’ll reach for a Coke. But I’m still intrigued by the confusion about whether coffee has a good, bad or neutral effect on your health. USA Today has a nice round-up of the drink’s “perks and pitfalls” in this morning’s paper. I found it interesting that coffee drinkers are less susceptible to liver cancer.  And also that not only pregnant woman should avoid caffeine, those trying to get pregnant should too.

USA Today got experts from the Mayo Clinic to answer your coffee/health questions via Twitter. The conversation starts at 10:30 EST. To participate use #MayoUSAToday
