Not to be a Danny Downer- because I love my coffee (Philz Ambrosia!) - but drinking lots of coffee greatly increases your chances of colon cancer - especially as you approach your mid 30s. Enjoy that cup a day but learn to like tea too.

What's the source of that? I found an article on WebMD (http://men.webmd.com/features/coffee-new-health-food) that claims that moderate coffee consumption can actually reduce your risk of colon cancer.

Source is my personal doctor told me to cut back cause it was bad for me.

But also from personal experience, when I drink a lot of cups per day for several days, my shall remain nameless parts start feeling odd. Doesn't really start till you're in your 30s and later though.
