That reporter really got an explosive scoop.

The oddest part of the report is the bacteria only making up 1%. And that is the part that smells. Either my dad had great volume, or his percentages was off

As a longtime heavy drinker of coffee, I am always encouraged some when I see these reports . .



Another Study Suggests Coffee Is Really Great for Your Heart.

Still unsure if Arabica beans are nature’s way of saying humans are supposed to live forever? Well, in addition to maybe preventing liver disease, cancer, and erectile dysfunction, scientists say there’s exciting new proof coffee might make your heart healthier. In findings presented to the American Heart Association yesterday, University of Colorado researchers say they essentially stumbled upon this great news by digging through an important, very-long-running data set on American eating patterns and cardiovascular health.

The plan was to find dietary habits that help mitigate the risk of heart disease — and, according to Time, “one stood out after the analysis.” Per their findings, drinking coffee daily was linked to less heart failure, less stroke, and less coronary heart disease. Subjects who consumed an eight-ounce cup every day lowered their risk of each by 8 percent, 7 percent, and 5 percent, respectively. Moreover, the reduction repeated again with every new cup — all the way up to six.

Coffee is one of those things I really want to like, but I can't. It smells so good, but I cannot for the life of me acquire a taste for it. I've tried it black, with cream, sugar, without sugar, all sorts of flavorings, hot, cold - you name it. It just doesn't work for me no matter how it's prepared, and it makes me sad.

I'm not sure what's more disturbing, the fact that it happens or the fact that no one seems to care. Bravo to the writer for getting so many puns into the story.

You know that disappointing feeling you got as a kid when you bit into one of those giant chocolate Easter bunnies only to find out it was hollow rather than one big solid piece? That's how scientists would feel once we get the resources to try to dig into the Earth's core only to find that it's hollow.
