Coffee

Is it good or bad? One day I hear this way then I hear this way. It is like the winds of time, they blow this way, they blow that way. Alright, enough of that.

With a extremely intelligent wife, I have begun to constantly here how more and more things are unhealthy. She is closer and closer to everyday pushing me to run every where I go, only eating carrots, organic lettuce, apples, and getting as much sun as possible without letting it touch my skin. Okay, may this is a little far, I mean, being a butcher, I will never give up the meat, but yes honey, I will cut back on the red meat, promise. Well, as soon as all the deer meat is out of the freezer. By the way, she killed that deer. Natasha is having more and more trouble shooting the animals. I blame this on her feeding the calf over Christmas at her dad's farm. It puts you in touch with animals that will later be burgers. That is such a weird wrong feeling I suppose.

So back to the coffee. I like it in spurts. I get to were I will drink for a few months, then I take a few months off. The best thing is that first cup after a few weeks without it. Like a good drug, coffee is there. Wow, that sounds like a State Farm commercial. Like...a...good...drug, Coffee is there. That was fun, back to point. "After analyzing data on 126,000 people for as long as 18 years, Harvard researchers calculate that compared with not partaking in America's favorite morning drink, downing one to three cups of caffeinated coffee daily can reduce diabetes risk by single digits. But having six cups or more each day slashed men's risk by 54% and women's by 30% over java avoiders." By Sid KirchheimerWebMD Feature Reviewed by Michael W. Smith, MD

This article by Sid goes on the exclaim other great things coffee can do. Natasha is a big advocate of WebMD. It has a lot of great information and is a constant contact point for many things. Yet, we have to put this disclaimer in. There are by far to many people in the USA who have begun to self-diagnose themselves. Then they begin to go to their doc for this or for that. Docs don't mind to sell meds for this and for that (yes I use the word sell there, they are the best pharmacy reps out there) That is another post entirely. I will get a lot of Natasha's help for that one. I am excited already to write it, maybe it is the second of coffee though, oh well here is to good health, drink up!
