Don't give up that daily cup of coffee just yet. Studies show drinking coffee may reduce your risk of developing Parkinson's disease, diabetes, cirrhosis of the liver, and colon cancer. It's even been linked to a decreased risk of inflammatory and cardiovascular disease in postmenopausal women.

Why? According to an article in the March 2007 issue of Ladies Home Journal, it's because coffee contains large amounts of flavonoids and antioxidants -- and these combat a whole bunch of illnesses.

Now drinking too much coffee can have adverse side effects, like restlessness, anxiety, and headaches, but limiting yourself to one to four brewed cups per day seems to be a safe practice. Although for those with high blood pressure, consuming between two to four cups per day maybe a bit risky because coffee causes blood pressure to rise immediately after consumption. And all coffee drinkers should fight the urge to add sugar, flavored syrup, and whole milk to to their beverages.

A daily cup of tea seems to be healthy too. Researchers are investigating its use in the prevention of cancer, and we already know both black and green tea have significant quantities of disease-fighting flavonoids -- although not as much as coffee.

Bordering on a Cure is a friendly challenge between the post office districts of New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine who compete to see which district can sell the most Breast Cancer Awareness stamps during the month of May and June.

What does the winning post office district of this good-spirited rivalry get for selling the most stamps to benefit breast cancer research? If New Hampshire and Vermont post office districts win, there will be blueberry pie in their future -- courtesy of the postal district in Maine. If Maine wins, they will be receiving maple syrup. But, because of these wonderful post office workers, breast cancer research is the true winner. Since 1998, more than 657 million stamps have been sold, raising $50 million dollars for breast cancer research.
