I&#8217;m back to a big cup.  This one holds about 14 oz.  My March cup was smaller about 6 oz. which meant making far more frequent trips to the coffee pot.  So, I decided to find another big cup.  Of course, I&#8217;d cut down from a pot of coffee a day to about 1\/2 a pot.  Everyone keeps telling me how bad coffee is for one &#8212; stresses the system, makes you nervous, on and on and on&#8230;.  I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ve all hear the drill.<\/p>\n<p>However, today I also came across a news <a href=\"http:\/\/news.bbc.co.uk\/2\/hi\/health\/7326839.stm\" title=\"Daily Caffeine protects brain\" target=\"_blank\">article<\/a>  on <em>BBC News<\/em> and a similar <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sciencedaily.com\/releases\/2008\/04\/080402194407.htm\" title=\"Coffee a day protects against Alzheimer's Disease\" target=\"_blank\">article<\/a> in <em>Science Daily<\/em> about a new study that shows that caffeine can offer some protection to the brain by helping reduce the permeability of the blood brain barrier.  A quote from the article by Dr Jonathan Geiger of the University of North Dakota:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Caffeine is a safe and readily available drug and its ability to stabilize the blood brain barrier means it could have an important part to play in therapies against neurological disorders.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Seems to indicate that maybe drinking a moderate amount of coffee each day is a <em>good<\/em> thing.  Of course in this study they gave one cup of coffee per day to rabbits.  So how this will effectively apply to people is another nest of rabbits.  I&#8217;ll hope my half a pot or about 2 1\/2 large cups per day is not out of the question for protecting me from neurological disorders (especially the big scary one &#8212; Alzheimer&#8217;s).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Finally, took a picture of my April coffee cup.
