northern alaskan wilderness. he survived 36 hours until the air national guard spotted him using night vision goggles and air lifting him to safety. bear encounters causing people's eyes to drop. a black bear tore through the screen door in florida taking an hour long nap. >> he looked tired because he was sleeping. >> this is the closest i've come to a bear let alone a seven to eight foot bear sitting on my back porch. >> reporter: a similar scene in colorado last month where a bear roamed into a bar filled with customers. >> i tried to holler bear so people could hear me. >> reporter: today wildlife officials are returning tests on a bear they killed maybe about two miles away from where the 12-year-old was mauled ee eed f the dna matches.

they also set traps. when we talk about the why. why is this happening? as we saw the zoo official say we're going out into areas that are the territory of the bear. it's something we could potentially see more often and also this time of year the bears are preparing to hibernate. they are out looking for food. they recommends that if you're in areas where there are bears to be careful, take your bear spray because you could encounter a bear. >> absolutely. thanks. you can watch weekdays at 5:00 a.m. eastern on cnn. we have a new study that says coffee could be bad for you, but is it really the case? we'll take a look next with elizabeth cohen. let's leave the deals to hotels.com. perfect! yep, and no angry bears. up to 30% off. only at hotels.com.

we've all heard the headlines, coffee is good for you or coffee is bad for you. he liz birth cohen is looking at these studies and sorts throughout all the coffee confusion. >> reporter: conflicting studies about coffee and your health are brewing up confusion. >> i don't know is it good for me, is it bad? should i drink it, should i not? >> i find this information confusing but i just drink it anyway. i drink like ten cups a day. >> reporter: a recent study says maybe she should learn to live without it or perhaps not quite so much of it. the study found that people under age 55 who drank four or more cups a day were 50% more

likely to die during the course of the 16-year study and we're talking about eight ounce cups of coffee, not the giant drinks that many people like to order. coffee might hurt you by increasing your chances of getting gastrointestinal cancer plus -- >> the stimulant from coffee with caffeine could cause irregular heart rhythms. >> reporter: but, and it's a big but, several other studies have found that coffee is actually good for you, decreasing the likelihood you will get alzheimer's, type 2 diabetes and other diseases. so what's a java lover to do? >> when you smell coffee, you know it's time to get your day going. >> reporter: some doctors say you can hedge your bets. >> mark twain once said everything in moderation. >> reporter: so maybe instead of ten cups a day, try sticking to fewer than four. >> our senior medical correspondent, elizabeth cohen, joins us. i'm a coffee drinker who is totally confused. i just saw your report. what should i do? >> i think of it this way.

this study is one of the ones that showed that it was bad, but it was bad when it was more than four eight ounce cups a day. maybe just try to keep it to under four eight ounce cups a day. >> is there something about the group here, the coffee drinkers, do we have something in common that might skew the results in any way? >> it is possible that it's not really the coffee, it's just something about people like you. i don't think so. i was going to say, for example, maybe coffee drinkers eat a lot but that's obviously not your issue. maybe coffee drinkers are really stressed out people and that's why they are dying young in this study. we don't know. or maybe it really is the coffee. we don't know. so when you have all these question marks, the best thing you can do is, as i said in the piece, hedge your bet. you don't have to give up coffee but maybe you don't want to drink a ton of it. >> what does caffeine do to your body? >> i think there is some concern that it gets your heart rate going too fast. that's the concern. and that it can mess up that whole cardiovascular system but that's not proven. nobody really knows that.

so even the good things about coffee, we can't prove those either. there's a lot of mushiness here. that's a technical term. there's a lot of mushiness here. so all you can really do is take that mushiness and say gee, what makes the most sense here is i'm not going to drink tons of coffee. four cups a day. keep it down to four cups a day. >> just keep warming up the same one. >> there you go. >> thank you. everything in moderation. appreciate it. coming up, she secretly says she wanted to go to jail. alcohol, her drug of choice. and she admits to being quote, a mess. lindsay lohan comes clean to oprah. i've been doing a few things for a while that i really love-- tdd#: 1-800-345-2550
