In keeping with the vindicating news about the health benefits of wine and chocolate, this just released by Reuters . . .
In connection with a study about caffeine's stimulating effects, "Dr. Gilberto Fisone of the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden, . . . noted that caffeine also blocks receptors present in a group of nerve cells involved in neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's disease ( news - web sites). This condition is marked by the loss of brain cells that produce the chemical dopamine, resulting in a variety of physical symptoms such as tremor, rigidity and stiffness. Other researchers have shown that caffeine can make it more difficult for these nerve cells to degenerate, perhaps keeping dopamine available to the brain."
Dopamine -- yeah, that's it, that's why I drink it.

Maybe this is the reason people drink the stuff found in 3# can for $5.00, labeled coffee that is found in every supermarket in the USA. Medicine generally taste bad. I think the grocers have place the __ogers, ___wellhouse etc. in the wrong aisle.
