It is unlcear in this article whether many of these health affects are related to coffee or caffeine.

"Recent research has uncovered additional stimulating effects of coffee which are not related to its caffeine content. Coffee contains an as yet unknown chemical agent which stimulates the production of cortisone and adrenaline, two stimulating hormones.[1]"

The full text of this citation is not available online, and the abstract indicates nothing about unknown stimulants in coffee, which would seem to be a noteworthy thing one would mention in an abstract.

[edit] Athsma and vaso-constriction

Anyone have a footnote for coffee's effect on athsma? From personal experience and anecdotal evidence I know that it helps in the very short term. Should this be part of a larger section on coffee's vaso-constrictive properties? --Zachbe 18:19, 28 November 2006 (UTC) vnnnnnnnnnnbvmvbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[edit] Coffee Alternatives?

The article states that there are coffee alternatives, and to see a list below, but there is no list. Better yet, the list should be a link, I think. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.62.71.77 (talk) 20:43, 28 December 2006 (UTC). shit
