Coffee! The New Vitamin!

I was very happy to read in yesterday's newspaper the very beneficial effects of coffee! It is now recognized that coffee has a tremendous amount of anti-oxidant compounds in it. These anti-oxidants are thought to help in the prevention of many forms of cancer. This is wonderful news. Perhaps I shall rethink my coffee drinking limit I wrote about yesterday. Keeping my coffee intake to only 4 - 20oz cups has been workable both yesterday and today, but I would enjoy drinking my usual (larger) quantity of coffee daily. I shall have to contemplate it.

A brief addendum: Yes... those of you with a scientific mindset may wish to jump on me for my title ("the new vitamin"). Yes... I know antioxidants are NOT vitamins. I am an endocrinologist. I simply used the phrase as a bit of literary license to make a catchier title.
