That is good to know but if I drink any more coffee I will be in danger of drowning. I guess it is good news that coffee has an inverse association with prostate cancer but if they came to the opposite conclusion I would not drink any less. 
I believe in the old adage that "a little of what you fancy does you good" unless, of course, you are the head of the IMF. |

Growing up in the 1950s I often heard a commercial for Bufferin: "Don't trade a headache for an upset stomach." If I drank 6 cups of coffee per day I guess I would be trading an increased cancer risk for an upset stomach, or more likely an ulcerative perforation of the stomach. This is one of those news items that I will file away with information on alcohol and heart attacks or licorice and baldness. A cup (or two) keeps the blues away.  |

I guess you have never gone on a licorice binge, or you wouldn't be so surprised!   |

You are correct as usual Bruce. I have always been fond of licorice but I can not say I have ever binged on it to the extent that I noticed any effects.
I am intrigued now, what am I missing?
Well, if you think you'd get a thrill from muscle weakness and hypertension go for it!   |

Doesn't sound very enticing, I think I will stick to caffeine.  |

| I do not understand why you are unaware of the dangers of licorice. Have you not seen what it did to Bertie Basset? |
