Welcome to Street Prophets Coffee Hour! Thermal for the warmth of a good cup of coffee or your preferred beverage, as well as the warmth of a more progressive religion and community. Feel free to share what you’re drinking (or eating) in the Comments, if you’re so inclined. This is also an Open Thread for you to connect.
I recently ran across an article for the New Year recommending giving up caffeine and sugar. Bwah-ha-ha-hah! Not going to happen. Who am I to argue with the Nutrition Experts at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine?? Of course there can be too much of a good thing. But according to them, with the right amount of coffee you can live longer; resist diabetes, heart failure, Parkinson’s, colon cancer, Alzheimer’s, and stroke; and improve liver and DNA health. Take that, would-be abstention gurus!
