I meant to write more earlier, but was wallowing in self pity with a heavy cold...interestingly enough, when I was feeling totally bunged up, a quick shot of coffee made me feel better...more than max strength lemsip. Actually, although this is not widely known, some pain killers have up to 120 milligrams of caffeine in them..as much as a strong coffee!
Back to the facts and figures...at least six studies have shown that people who regulary drink coffee are 80% less likely to develop Parkinson's Disease, with three studies showing the more you drink the lower the risk. Parkinson's drugs are now being developed that contain a derivative of caffeine based on this evidence.
I don't know..I'm not a scientist, but coffee has been around for a thousand of year (as a hot drink since A.D. 1000), all over the world.:?:

Started researching July's coffees for the club...not a Brazilian in sight this month!!!
