Coffee, again

In June, LifeEthics reported that coffee drinkers are likely to live longer - or are at least less likely to die of heart disease.

Today, a new study on Swedes and Finns reports that 3 to 5 cups of coffee (I drink nearly a quart a day) when middle aged (I am) decreased the chances of Alzheimer's dementia by 60 to 65%.

Not only will I live forever, I'll know it!

Too bad they chose illustrate the story with a stock photo of cigarette smoker with a cup of coffee.... but wait, isn't there evidence that smoking helps prevent Alzheimer's, too.

I'll take my coffee without cigs, thank you

A quart of coffee a day? Are you serious?

If I drank that much, you would have to peel me off the ceiling.

Hey, a quart's not even a full pot. And it works great to treat my ADHD.
