In Malaysia as many as 9 coffee brands have been pulled from shelves when it was found they had dangerous chemicals in them — chemicals used to treat erectile dysfunction… I suppose that sound *cough* harmless enough except that if taken daily they have side effects and even cause death. I bet some guys are still not giving up said coffee if they have it in their houses. Story here.

Ok another health story on coffee, this one is a bit more personal as I have MS. It seems that early tests on mice prone to an MS like disease who were given the mice equivalent of 6-8 cups of coffee didn’t actually develop the disease. Further testing will need to be done of course, it could just work on mice. Or it could translate to the human illness, they don’t know yet. But if it affects humans well I hope you all drink a lot of coffee because trust me, MS isn’t something you want. And considering the way MS affects the body it could be helpful with other illnesses as well if they do find it helps humans.
A new report says that coffee drinkers might live longer. Of course I won’t get too excited. We all know with one report comes a follow up report explaining that while that one might be true, this counter report explains why it doesn’t matter because something else in said food or drink will cause us to die twice as fast. But hey, for today down those coffees and if anyone says you’re drinking too much of it, say you’re doing it for your health.
