DRINK MORE COFFEE

On Saturday I posted a blog and then lost it due to problems encountered in publishing so I will try to reconstruct it tonight. I heard in the news last week that a research study has shown that there may be a link between coffee drinking and the prevention of alzheimers. Having been a long time drinker of hot tea with milk and sugar I have mostly enjoyed coffee as a social drink and especially if there was pie involved. Since there is a possibility that coffee may deter the onset of alzheimers I may have to start having a shot of it everyday.

The report that I heard did not say how much coffee would have to be consumed to have a preventive effect. As we know from many studies that have been done with rats and mice it oft times takes a huge amount of something to produce the desired result. Remember the old cancer study done with mice and sacharine? An effective amount of coffee could require a lot of pie. And there is the possibility that it may already be too late to be of any help to me.

    Hummm more coffee, more pie, I think we should make it a law! Should coffee then be paid for by Medicare since it is preventive medicine? The price is high enough to be called a drug. Sounds like something we Democrats should take up, I'm sure we could all agree on it!
