According to an AP syndicated art tickle, my favorite beverage - which I consume rapaciously - has been found to reduce my odds of liver cancer.
Yes that's right, you heard right, the secret word for tonight is COFFEE! (And for those of you who still have the mudshark in your mythology, I don't know if anyone has composed a Coffee Arpeggio, which would undoubtedly be a marvelous little arpeggio.)
Not only does coffee appear to be an effective liver cancer deterrent, it finally comes out that coffee contains oodles of Auntie Oxidants.
Auntie Oxidant has been long recommended by the Health Fringe, but generally from health nutty type sources like skunkwort, dryer lint and green leafy vegetables. Who knew you could fill up with the internal power to eliminate Free Radicals by schlurping down the requisite daily Pot o' Joe? And the benefit appears to accrue to those who drink 2, 3 and 4 or more cups! YIPPPPEEEEE!
Next week they'll probably counter this positive report with some grim finding that coffee grounds cause global worming, but until then, you wonderful scientists, this mug's for you!
*schlurps*
And there was much rejoicing! (yaaaaaaaaaay)
Pass the espresso!

This is excellent news, because with the money we spend at Starbucks and CC's, we wouldn't be able to afford cancer treatments!

Wouldn't that be a hot cup of "validation?"
Not being a coffee drinker myself, I'll celebrate when they tell me that beer cures something. Anything.

"some grim finding that coffee grounds cause global worming"
I heartily resent that.

Great news CC.... There have been over 60 studies that have proven that beer is as effective as wine in preventing heart disease. Additionally, they are chock full of B vitamins. If you REALLY want to get technical.... an average beer is approximatley 92% water. So, it is really, pretty much water, isn't it? And you KNOW what all nutionists say.... drink AT LEAST 8 glasses of water a day! hee hee hee
