I knew it!!!!....
we should be drinking more of it. This reminds me of a TV item I watched about 30 or 35 years ago. They were interviewing a black lady who was the oldest living person in the U.S. As I recall, she was 111 or 112 years old but, more amazing than her general good health, was her mind....very fast on her mental feet.
They asked the inevitable question: "To what do you owe your long life?" Without batting an eyelash she lifted her left hand, in which was a large mug, and she blurted "Coffee...". Then, just as fast, she raised her right hand in which she clutched a roll-yer-own, saying ".....and smoking."
I think I'll pass on the nicotine but I'm definitely upping the caffeine intake.
