- Hmm, I don't know, seems highly speculative. Do you work for a filter paper
- company? Do you use bleached or unbleached paper? If anything, the health
- trend is to less filtering and more roughage in the diet. Besides, I can't
- imagine that chocolate covered coffee beans could be bad for you. I suppose
- you could swallow them whole, but it's much more fun to crunch them when you
- eat them. Don't tell me you don't partake of these? You know, certain people
- have been trying to blame all the world's ills on coffee for a long time, but
- the hard evidence just doesn't seem to be forth comming. If you are really
- concerned about your diet, fat intake is much more important. It's the cream
- and sugar you put in the coffee, not the coffee. Trust me on that.
