Coffee, Writing & Longevity

Good news, all you java junkies! A news article from Reuters states that "long-term coffee drinking does not appear to increase a person's risk of early death and may cut a person's chances of dying from heart disease" according to a published study.

Most of us morning writers require an IV or two of full-bodied, dark Columbian brew to grease our mental wheels. Over the years, veiled warmings from the medical community would hint that too much coffee - say, over 6 ounces a day - would gradually work it's evil way on our chances for longevity. Now you can put that worry behind you and enjoy

Still, if your resting pulse rate goes above 125 or so, you might want to cut back by a quart or two.



Happy, wide-awake writing~
