Coffee A Health Drink?
Yocto Yotta wrote to mention an article from The Independent which would seem to indicate that coffee has numerous health benefits, and could be construed to be a 'health drink'. From the article: "'A study has found that coffee contributes more antioxidants - which have been linked with fighting heart disease and cancer - to the diet than cranberries, apples or tomatoes...[antioxidants in coffee] have been linked to a number of health benefits, including protection against heart disease and cancer. Studies have associated coffee drinking with a reduced risk of liver and colon cancer, type two diabetes, and Parkinson's disease.'"

Now I only wait for the scientists to confirm my lifelong suspicion, that chocolate (especially chocolate covered wafer bars) is a healthy vegetable product (chocolate is made from fruit, isn't it?) that should be a cornerstone of a healthy diet.
That's funny because everytime I drink coffee, I feel like my heart is going to explode.

Junk food does not make you fat, it's all down to fresh OJ, smoking can help you to live longer (assuming you do not get lung cancer) and being in a road accident helps reduce the signs of aging.
