Coffee is Healthy

[David Triche <dtriche@LAUSD.K12.CA.US>]

I gotta help Maribel...a coffee bar in the library is a wonderful idea.  I
give my student helpers coffee in my middle school and they love it.  It
makes them feel so grown up.  Anything that has them spending more  time in
the library sounds good to me.

Also, I would like to dispel this commonly held myth that coffee in
unhealthy.  Coffee is, in fact very beneficial.  Out side of some individual
sensitivities, there are no known lasting negative effects of coffee on the
human body.  It is actually beneficial to digestion, is used to treat
migranes in some, can help with depression. It has shown some anticancer
effect in the warding off of tumors of the colon. It has also been linked to
lower rates of liver disease.  This was in the New York Times magazine on
3-14-99.

Go for in Maribel....Don't listen to the naysayers and poor me a cup of that
deep, dark rich brew...
