So guys, I just got some great news about coffee! I was reading in my new US News (the Dec. 19th issue...it takes a while to get here), that recent studies have shown coffee to "protect against diabetes, Parkinson's disease, gallstones, and some cancers." It is high in antioxidants - higher than even blueberries and broccoli. It also has anti-depressant effects, and contrary to popular opinion, it does not dehydrate you any more than water. To quote the article, "If its benefits continue to mount, coffee may come to be viewed as a health food." Sweet! You read things like this, and it just gives you such hope for the future. I love getting good news. And I've been inspired to go brew another pot of coffee. Anything for greater health, you know?(Picture: Me savoring my daily health-drink.)
