Booze Makes You Fat

The World Cancer Research Fund has teamed up with the British Liver Trust to have a pop at booze.  What has booze ever done to those guys?  The Cancer people are attacking from the angle that drinking alcohol adds more weight than you might imagine, while the Liver Trust add their two cents worth by claiming that a quarter of the (British) population may already have some type of liver damage.  

Coffee - Super Health Drink

Coffee is great for your health!  Not just 'good', Great!  It can reduce risk of heart disease (very, very, extremely slightly).   The speedy caffeine stimulates your nervous system and so kind of stops you suffering from depression, because you're too wired to be glum.  Among it's miraculous properties, coffee can ward off Alzheimers, skin cancer, breast cancer, Parkinson's and gallstones.  Some professor from the Harvard School of Public Health says it has more antioxidants than most fruit and vegetables.  So why have I been bothering with all those green things when I could have just been glugging down litres of life-giving coffee?
