COFFEE LOVERS can smile today. The Linus Pauling Institute has some recent research to prove the benefits of coffee consumption for various reasons. They also discuss some of the known risks. My mother will be 90 yrs old in October and has had her cup of Jo each day for as long as she can remember. She has never taken medication and still gets along just fine.

It looks like America's coffee craze may be good for people other than the stockholders of Starbucks.

 More and more studies are suggesting that coffee offers health benefits, including a reduced risk of type 2 diabetes, Parkinson's disease, gall bladder disease and even of suicide.

The health benefits of peroxide, written by Becky Ransey of Indiana.

I would like to tell you of the benefits of that plain little ole bottle of 3% peroxide you can get for under $1.00 at any drug store. My husband has been in the medical field for over 36 years, and most doctors don't tell you about peroxide, or they would lose thousands of dollars.

1. Take one capful (the little white cap that comes with the bottle) and hold in your mouth for 10 minutes daily, then spit it out. (I do it when I bathe) No more canker sores and your teeth will be whiter without expensive pastes. Use it instead of mouthwash.

2. Let your toothbrushes soak in a cup of peroxide to keep them free of germs.

3. Clean your counters, table tops with peroxide to kill germs and leave a fresh smell. Simply put a little on your dishrag when you wipe, or spray it on the counters.
