Coffee - the new wonderdrug
So. Turns out all of our fears about coffee being bad for you (e.g. stunts your growth, causes irritability, messes with your adrenal glands etc etc) is completely backwards and false.
In a study published last year by Harvard university, the coffee-drinking habits of 126,000 people were analyzed, and it was determined that large "doses" (i.e. 6 or more cups a day) actually reduced the risk of diabetes in men by a staggering 54% and in women by 30%.
It also found that people who drink a lot of coffee are about 80% less likely to develop Parkinson's, that coffee can offset the negative effects of other harmful habits like smoking, that it can help treat asthma and headaches, and that it may even help prevent cavities! Screw brushing my teeth before bed, I'm gonna have me a cup of joe!
