Coffee protects brain

Harv was muttering on this morning about people who drink lots of coffee being predisposed to MSi so I went to look for the news report on this and found the opposite. I'll question him when he gets home as to exactly what he heard and where.

The opposite

  I presume from Harv's

 

I presume from Harv's mutterings that you drink lots of coffee?  All these people are not even considering that MSi might be caused by an infection.  I drink coffee and always have done and I wasn't born in whatever month is supposed to be the favourite for people developing MS!............Sarah

That birth month isn't

That birth month isn't particularly important; the incidence goes up no more than 30%. It's barely statistically significant.

Andesine, could you fix the unclosed italics tag in your signature? It's making all the posts after yours appear in italics. (The only reason this sentence isn't in italics is that I just used the HTML command to turn off italics.)

I keep fixing it and it

I keep fixing it and it keeps going back. I'll do it again.

I think Sarah's comment was tongue in cheek.

Sarah, I used to drink

Sarah, I used to drink loads of coffee, it was something you did in corporate land. The coffee machine was free and you grabbed a cup every time you walked past it. I eventually got to the stage where I was overdosing on the stuff and getting all sorts of weird symptoms. So I stopped drinking it and the withdrawal symptoms were appalling.

I drink it now but never more than 2 or 3 cups a day.

Harv says it was a discussion thing on BBC Berks. They seem to be having an MS week but I keep missing it.

See if the sig fix has worked.....
