Finally some good news...

... though not on the job front so far. But check this out:

Coffee may cut the risk of dementia by blocking the damage cholesterol can inflict on the body, research suggests.

The drink has already been linked to a lower risk of Alzheimer's Disease, and a study by a US team for the Journal of Neuroinflammation may explain why.

A vital barrier between the brain and the main blood supply of rabbits fed a fat-rich diet was protected in those given a caffeine supplement.

UK experts said it was the "best evidence yet" of coffee's benefits.
Nice to know that not every drug I take is bad for you. Although, actually, I haven't had tobacco in nearly two weeks (except once as an adulterant), though I was sorely tempted to indulge more than once.
