Abstract
To the Editor.— On perusal, my first reaction to the article, Coffee Intake and Elevated Cholesterol and Apolipoprotein B Levels in Men, 1 was that it would stimulate a flood of letters to JAMA . Such a topic always does. My objections to the article are somewhat different and are directed at JAMA as much as at the authors. I understand methodology and statistics as well as the majority of JAMA readers, and I contend that that majority have not the faintest idea of how to interpret (or criticize) those data. This is not to suggest that the statistics are superfluous; indeed, they are the essence of the article. However, I question their deserving the status of a lead
