That is the best news I've heard all night, as I drink a Sierra Nevada Torpedo.

It's all starting to make sense now...Irish coffees are good for you, and floating a coffee bean in Sambuca is purely for health reasons!

For years I've been drinking about two cups of coffee a day with no concerns, but not because some guest on a morning TV news show suggested it's good for my liver. Here are a couple of books worth reading before buying into something you've heard from a perceived expert or authority figure.

Moderation is important: not too much beer, not too much coffee. Of course, it's difficult to control your beer consumption, once you get drunk. But as you get older and become wiser, you will achieve the balance.

I have become skeptical of "scientific" findings regarding food and medicine. There seems to be scientific studies backing every cockeyed conclusion both for and against.

I saw an infomercial on TV that was selling mega dose vitamin B shots. It claimed that we would need to drink something like two gallons of millk just to get the right amount of vitamins. Perhaps, if all one eats is milk.
Regardless of wether one belives man was created by God or Evolution, it makes no sense that after so many millenia of getting our daily nourishment from ordinary food, humans now need to inject ourselves with a commercial blend of vitamins or swallow fish oil caplets imported from Iceland just to be healthly.
What changed and when?

I think there's value in getting the information, but I take it with a grain of salt, and it "shades" my decisions. I also look for moderation, whether things are good, or bad, for you.
