Java Time

Like many techies, I love java. It's the one addition yours truly freely admits too, something I have been doing for many years. Seems us addicts may be onto something as seen by a post in the NY Times:

"As expected, the researchers found that the regular coffee drinkers in the group were also more likely to be smokers. They ate more red meat and fewer fruits and vegetables, exercised less and drank more alcohol – all behaviors associated with poor health.

But once the researchers controlled for those risks, the data showed that the more coffee a person consumed, the less likely he or she was to die from a number of health problems, including diabetes, heart disease, respiratory disease, stroke, infections and even injuries and accidents.

Over all, the risk of dying during the 14-year study period was about 10 percent lower for men and about 15 percent lower for women who drank anywhere from two cups to six or more cups of coffee a day. The association between coffee and lower risk of dying was similar whether the coffee drinker consumed caffeinated or decaffeinated coffee."

Since I don't smoke, thank god, and exercise & eat little red meat but a lot of veggies, I guess I'm home free but one never knows do one. :)
