I would have reacted the same way if someone had claimed health benefits for e.g. Coca Cola. :-)

It just haven't reached the public conscious yet that coffee weirdly seems to be such a good lifestyle choice.

Strait coffee might be good for you. Starbucks style 800 calorie drinks use coffee is probably bad for you.

"A glass of wine a day is generally healthy. But what if you pour that daily glass into the sauce of a 5000 calorie dinner?!"

Then I realized your point -- in the US, lots of people think of 800 calorie drinks containing coffee as "drinking coffee"?

Well... there are certainly even weirder advertisement effects on my home culture. :-(
