study entitled "Prospective study of coffee consumption and the risk of symptomatic gallstone disease in men" and published in the June 9, 1999 edition of the Journal of American Medical
Association reports a correlation between the consumption of coffee and the reduction of risk for symptomatic gallstone disease in men. The study involved some 46,008 men ranging in age
from forty to seventy five years old and reporting no history of gallstone disorders at the time the study was initiated in 1986. These men responded to a carefully
constructed questionnaire. The researchers conducted 404,166 years of follow-up on these subjects between the studys initiation and its completion in 1994. They determined that men who drank two
to three cups of regular coffee per day ran an adjusted relative risk of 0.60 ((95% confidence interval tCI], 0.42-0.86)) of developing gallstone disease. This compared to a relative
adjusted risk of only 0.55 (95% Cl, 0.33-0.92) for those that regularly drank four or more cups of regular coffee a day. Analyses of results involving decaffeinated coffee did not
yield a similar correlation. Far from utilizing a randomized subject base, this questionnaire-based study relied on the input of professional males
such as dentists, veterinarians, optometrists, osteopathic physicians and podiatrists. This choice was presumably made not only to improve the rate of return for the biennial questionnaires around which the
study revolved, but also to improve the reliability of the results. The researcher obviously assumed that professional males who had some connection to the medical field were better suited
for such a study than the many other choices which they had at their disposal. In addition to the biennial questionnaires, diet
