Java. Joe. Mud. That bean by any other name is still coffee. And no matter the moniker, it's the choice for 80-90 percent of Americans. Whether you like it iced, flavored, sweetened or classically black, your favorite pick-me-up has more than just great taste brewing. Here are a few common coffee "myths" that deserve clarification.

Myth: Coffee is bad for your health

Coffee, once thought to be a health pariah, has been the subject of more than 19,000 studies during the past 50 years. All that research has uncovered an array of healthful benefits for those who regularly imbibe. Here's a look at some definite health pluses of coffee:

* May reduce the risk for type 2 diabetes (with long-term consumption)

* May protect premenopausal women against breast cancer

* May reduce colon, liver and bladder cancer risk

* May inhibit inflammation in postmenopausal women, thereby helping prevent cardiovascular disease
