That is all.
Oh except this little piece I found in my weekly Health Newletter....
Swill away.

Drink to Your Health – With Coffee

Heavy coffee drinkers -- those who drink more than four cups a day -- may cut their
risk of dying from cancers of the mouth and throat by nearly half, according to new
research. "We examined coffee drinking habits in nearly 1 million men and women,"
says Janet Hildebrand, epidemiologist with the American Cancer Society. "Those who
reported drinking at least four cups per day of caffeinated coffee incurred about half
the risk of dying from mouth and throat cancers compared to people who did not drink
caffeinated coffee daily or only drank it occasionally." The study found the risk
reduction of nearly half was similar for those who drank four, five, or six cups of
caffeinated coffee daily. Beyond seven cups, Hildebrand says, there weren't enough
people to gauge the effect on risk accurately. On the other hand, the study found only
a suggestion of a link between those who drank more than two cups of decaf daily. No
benefit was found for tea drinkers.
That link held even when the researchers took into account smoking habits and
alcohol use which are among the strongest risk factors for oral cancers.
About 35,000 new cases of oral cancers are expected in the U.S. this year, with 6,800
deaths, according to the American Cancer Society. Previous research by others has
linked drinking more than four cups of coffee a day to about the same risk reduction in
getting a diagnosis of oral cancer.
