Lift your coffee mug to good health!
According to a recently released study of over 130,000 people, run by Kaiser Permanente, those folks who drink four cups of coffee each day have an 18% lower instance of being hospitalized for heart rhythm conditions that include irregular heartbeats. The lead researcher is quoted as saying that moderate coffee drinkers should feel safe that they are not doing their hearts any harm by enjoying that cup o' Joe. If you are concerned about caffeine, I'm looking into carrying a coffee with 1% caffeine called Opus One. I'll let you know when I start carrying that.
Yay! I just love reading the science behind coffee. Don't overdo anything, but enjoy what you love is my belief. And I love when science backs me up. I also just read about a British study that says that coffee reduces the odds of getting a stroke too.
Obviously, there is a lot more information behind both these studies than I can go into here, but I think it's safe to say that enjoying coffee in moderation is proving to have benefits beyond the delicious taste and enlivening effect.
Is there a down side?
Well, consider the Massachusetts woman who was recently charged with assault and battery for throwing the contents of her hot coffee at a meter maid who was writing her a ticket! First of all, this is taking road rage to a new degree (she wasn't even driving). Secondly- what a waste of coffee!
Hmm..maybe she was disappointed in the poor quality of her coffee and that's really what set her off. If only she'd been drinking our Brazilian Bourbon Santos, perhaps the whole ugly incident could have been prevented! She could sign up for our coffee club and get regular gourmet coffee deliveries. I bet the meter maid would be happy!
So the moral of the story is to drink great tasting Brown and Jenkins coffee and you can stay in good health, and out of jail!
Until our next cup,
