ANOTHER REASON TO DRINK COFFEE

A study at the Harvard School of Public Health concluded that long-term coffee drinkers can cut their risk of developing type-2 diabetes by 30-50 percent, compared with non-coffee drinkers. Of course, that 25% error bar is a little unsettling, since it means the result is a 4 sigma result.

Most dispiriting quote from the article from a coffee-drinker: "Anyway, studies are like opinions. Next week, they'll change."
