The coffee industry is smiling after a study found that people who drink 5 or more cups per day are 50% less likely to get liver cancer than non-coffeeists. And even 1 or 2 cups per day helps.

Everything is defective
NHS maternity services have been found to be located in crumbling and filthy hospitals, and not fit for purpose. That last charge also applies to the investigators who talked about ‘birthing people’ in their report instead of women.
But no danger of them being binned, of course.
Super-Duper Swindle
Female Labour MPs are telling Jonah Bandwagon that 50% of newly created ministers should be women.
Is this a golden opportunity to claim that the party is doing this ‘in all but sex’?
Health-free pills
What’s a good way to feel virtuous? Don’t take the vitamin and other dietary supplements on offer. The experts have found they are a rip-off pricewise and some of them are actually harmful.
Out West
The Edmonton Antlers visited the Lions to start Canada Weekend. A long opening drive went to a TD Charge! for the home team. The Ants were stopped but a pick gave them a short field. On to a TD but the PAT try was a bad miss. Swiss cheese, the Lions inside the 10, just a FG, 6-10.
In Q2, Fajardo to the end zone, TD Antlers, +2, 14-10. The Lions were back for a TD, PAT blocked! Another TD in the 13th minute, 14-23. A tipped pass picked by the Lions, FG, 14-26. Fajardo to the end zone, TD catch. Time for a FG for the Lions and 21-29.
A good gain for the Ants late in Q3 ended with fumbling the ball away. A shove-in TD for the Lions to start Q4. The Ants managed a FG, 24-36.
A FG try by the Lions missed. A pick by the Ants in the 10th minute, pick close to the BC end zone by the Lions! No more scoring.
Still not sold
Despite all the guff about a heat wave this weekend, the Mansion Cat spent the morning on a windowsill looking out and avoiding getting rained on.
