Coming on the heels of my 3-cups-a-day coffee confession Monday, we learn from a University of Utah study that four cups of coffee a day appears to reduce the risk of oral cancers.
Refill, please.
Granted, there's the caveat that too much caffeine can increase the heart rate and blood pressure. However, there's evidence that some of the chemicals in coffee -- reportedly over 1,000 -- include antioxidants, which can protect against cancers.
Even better news? Another study shows that beer is one of the healthiest beverages available -- in moderation, of course.
I'm a little suspicious of the second study, given that it was released by The Beer Academy. I've downloaded the report and will read it with an eye toward deeper analysis. And by deeper analysis, I mean while I more closely examine the properties of the beer I'll have in one hand while I hold the report with my other.
