Addressing both the benefits and side effects of drinking coffee, this article written by January W. Payne explains that for some people, a moderate amount of coffee a day isn't so bad for you. Under the circumstances though, decaffinated may be the better decision. Approaching those who enjoy including a up or two of coffee in their daily routine, Payne was able to achieve her purpose that it is okay to drink coffee if it's a moderate amount of caffeine. But if someone is consuming a ridiculous amout, it could lead to insomnia, nausea, muscle tremors, or even an irregular/fast heartbeat. Also, a person with diabetes should probably switch to decaffeinated. On the plus side, coffee consumption can also prevent skin cancer and decrease the risks of strokes. Proved by research, coffee drinking may also offer a protective effect against Alzheimer's. Paranoid coffee drinkers, for whom this article is meant for, can now either relax a little bit about their daily habbit, or have to face a new challenge of breaking it.
January W. Payne is a writer for US.NEWS. and has already published several different articles. Proving that she is credible through her valid points, she appeals to both logos and ethos. (ethos because she proves that as an author/speaker, she is both credible and trustworthy.) She appeals to logos because behind her reasoning, she has facts. Each argument she proposes is backed up with research. For example, she mentions a review from Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism relating to diabetes and also a review published in Neurological Research about the protective effects coffee may have against Alzheimer's disease. By appealing to logos, Payne is able to achieve her purpose offering clear and rational ideas. As a daughter of a coffee drinker and just as a regular reader, I believe that Payne acheived her purpose. She reaches out to coffee drinkers and displays that coffee drinking can be beneficial but also have side effects.
