Study Says Coffee Protects Against Cirrhosis
An anonymous reader writes "Good news for those who like both coffee and alcohol. In a recent study of more than 125,000 people an Oakland, CA medical team found that consuming coffee seems to help protect against alcoholic cirrhosis. The study was done based on people enrolled in a private northern California health care plan between 1978 and 1985." From the article: "People drinking one cup of coffee per day were, on average, 20% less likely to develop alcoholic cirrhosis. For people drinking two or three cups the reduction was 40%, and for those drinking four or more cups of coffee a day the reduction in risk was 80%."
"Flamebait" for telling it like it is. That rules.
You may now flame me; I am full of love.
I got my Linux laptop at System76.
Yeah, I just heard on Fox that Al Gore rapes babies! While drinking tea! And you know what I heard on CNN? I heard that G.W.Bush is a space alien bent on destroying the entire galaxy! And the New York Times has a story about Calista Flockhart lovingly fingering my anus.
Troll.
iPods are for girls.
... and here in the North (Canada), we curse Seattle for exporting Starbucks coffee, the most disgusting, over-roasted crap beans every inflicted on man. I now avoid that chain like the plague due to the fact that *every* time I buy their coffee, light or dark roast, I get a raging stomache ache. I don't know if it's just the stores in this town, but they are TEH SUKC. >-(
