Tasty super drink fights cancer and cirrhosis

While here at BNL, I learned from my safety test that 50% of Americans will contract some form of cancer and 1 in 5 Americans dies from cancer.  Luckily for me, I may already be imbibing a dietary supplement shown to reduce the risk of cancer and heart disease (heart disease is the #1 cause of death in Americans).  A study has found that coffee contributes more antioxidants -which are linked with fighting heart disease and cancer- to the diet than cranberries, apples and tomatoes. According to the article, other benefits of coffee include increased alertness, postponed muscle fatigue, reduced risk of cirrhosis, and alleviation of asthma syptoms in some cases.  I never knew I was being so healthy.  Drawbacks do exist such as increased irritability, insomnia, heartburn and high blood pressure.  My friend, Ryan, recently posted a link that calculates the number of caffeinated drinks it takes to kill you– around 112 espressos for me.  So long as I can moderate my coffee intake, I should be doing fine.
