The attached link, though from Yahoo's daily questionable news items, just made my day. I grew up among those peculiar mormon people who eschew anything too hot, too cold, caffeinated drinks, coffee and tea -- especially cofffee and tea. When challenged, my relatives would insist "well, of course everything should be consumed in moderation." Well, duh! They insisted and many cousins from those extended families who are main stream LDS but practice polygamy quietly in the middle of Provo, Salt Lake, and Ogden, never missed an opportunity to be dismissive and insist that my dad and I will end up in Hell and that no child (as I did at 5 years-old) should EVER be allowed to drink coffee. Dad died about 10 years ago in his mid 80's more alert and quick witted than his doctors. Well, fuck the anti coffee crowd. Alzhiemers nailed all of my grandparents and has caused serious problems with most aunts and uncles -- all mormons of some variety: mainstream or fundamentalist. So you can imagine how smugly satisfied I was to read Drinking coffee reduces risk of Alzheimer's: study - Yahoo! News
