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.

I appreciate all forms of comments on my writings. I find that I miss the sponteneity of coming to read them here when they were unmoderated. I believe I wrote less due to the moderation. I have decided to adopt limited moderation. Hopefully the prior problems with unfettered comments will not arise again. Please feel free to comment as you wish about the essays I write. I will maintain those comments that offer kind-hearted and gentle opinion... be it positive or negative. The opinions of your comments will, of course, need to have relevance to the post as well.
