Tea and Coffee: It's good for you ;)

Study: Coffee and tea drinkers are less likely to have MRSA
Research in the Annals of Family Medicine shows that people who drink hot coffee or tea are 50% less likely to have methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in their noses compared with those who do not drink the beverages. The bacterium can cause serious illness or death in those with a weak immune system. The research shows that those who drink the most coffee or tea have the lowest MRSA risk. WebMD (7/11)

Good to know my daily cuppa(s) isn't entirely a bad habit. ;-) Thanks!

Hee, the research goes bk and forth...there *have* been studies that have demonstrated benefits from both tea and coffee (antioxidants, etc.) so, as long as one doesn't drink it by the gallon or put pounds of sugar or litres of cream in it...;)
