Coffee

CONFESSION BOX
Father, you've got to believe me. It wasn't my fault. This overworked office worker went on an espresso binge. Now his doc's accusing me of increasing his risk of high blood pressure, heart disease and headaches? Who told him to drink 10 cups a day? The fool. I'm so worried. My mum's going to freak. Help me Father.

THE GOOD WORD
Son, I know it's against your nature, but you've got to relax. It's not your fault this clown drank you to excess. In moderation, caffeine has been shown to stimulate the brain, aiding concentration and fighting fatigue, while improving physical endurance over longer periods as well. It's also been shown to benefit migraine and asthma sufferers and reduce levels of bile acids, which can contribute to colon cancer.
