Coffee's good for you: Norwegian study

[DesertFox]

Drinking coffee in moderation, up to five cups a day, can reduce the chances of contracting cardio-vascular diseases, Parkison's and Alzheimer's, a study by Norwegian researchers showed.

The researchers based their findings on data from 27,000 women in the United States. Those who drank between one and three cups of coffee daily reduced the risk of contracting cardio-vascular diseases and "inflammatories" by between 20 to 25 per cent.

The study, published on Norwegian website www.forskning.no, used "inflammatories" to include diabetes, Parkinson's disease,
Alzheimer's disease and conditions of the lungs, liver and kidneys.

It is not good to get between me and coffee in the morning, that is for sure.

However, the positive effects of coffee are negated with excessive consumption of more than five cups a day.
I knew this was too good to be true...I usually drink a pot of coffee before lunch M-F.

Speaking of coffee

'Juan Valdez' is hanging up his poncho

By TOBY MUSE, Associated Press Writer Wed May 31, 3:29 PM ET


BOGOTA, Colombia - Juan Valdez is retiring. Long live Juan Valdez! Colombia's coffee ambassador to the world, Carlos Sanchez, is finally quitting after four decades of playing the role of Juan Valdez. And the national federation of Colombian coffee producers is searching for a man to inherit his poncho — as well as his trusty mule, Conchita.

Just because some Norskis think coffee is good for you doesn't mean that it is. These people gave the Nobel Peace Prize to Jimmy Carter and they also think lutefisk (http://www.ecst.csuchico.edu/~atman/ic/lutefisk.html) is good (once a year).

[DesertFox]

The people who give the Nobel Prize and the people who drink coffee are very different sorts. Just ax the Wolf counselor.

Go ahead. I double dog dare ya.
