This morning there was a news item about three cups of coffee a day being good for the keeping the arteries unblocked! ::)

Sorry I didn't read your link having seen the coffee causing cancer assertion elsewhere.

It's just my gut reaction.

Reading the article tells me that the risk, if any is unknown at present. I'll consider given g up coffee when somebody has properly researched and quantified the risk.

I just have two mugs of instant coffee each morning, two cups of tea in the afternoon, and apart from that I drink water from the tap.

Don't eat it, it shortens your life, this lot'll be forgotten next week and then the week after it'll be something else, I've always thought of rice pudding as highly suspect food, especially when it has a spoonful of black treacle added to it, because black treacle is a form of slightly burned sugar and as you know anything burned like slightly burned fried onions with similar slightly burned bacon is no good due to the delicious carcinogens.

Had to finish there I'm too hungry to carry on and also need to clean up the dribble off of my keyboard.
