Interesting Coffee Fact: A PROCLAMATION FOR THE SUPPRESSION OF COFFEE HOUSES

Thought this was interesting and figured you may enjoy it as well.

A PROCLAMATION FOR THE SUPPRESSION OF COFFEE HOUSES

Whereas it is most apparent that the multitude of Coffee Houses of late years set up and kept within this Kingdom…and the great resort of idle and disaffected persons to them, have produced very evil and dangerous effects; as well for that many tradesmen and others, do herein misspend much of their time, which might and probably would be employed in and about their Lawful Calling and Affairs; but also for that in such houses…divers, false, malicious, and scandalous reports are devised and spread abroad to the Defamation of His Majesty’s Government, and to the disturbance of the Peace and Quiet of the Realm; his Majesty hath though it fit and necessary, that the said Coffee Houses be (for the Future) put down and suppressed…”

King Charles II of England, December 23, 1675
This rule was revoked on January 8, due to widespread citizen protest.

Coffee Joke, A Clean One -The 23rd Cup-

Found this one and thought it was CoffeeSage worthy.I hope you get a kick from it. I did.

Spiritual Coffee Humor Joke Caffeine is my shepherd;
I shall not doze.
It maketh me to wake in green pastures;
It leadeth me beyond the sleeping masses.
It restoreth my buzz.
It leadeth me in the paths of consciousness for its name’s sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of addiction,
I’ll fear no Equal for thou art with me;
Thy cream and thy flavorings they comfort me.
Thou preparest a carafe before me in the presence of Juan Valdez.
Thou anointest my days with vigor; my mug runneth over.
Surely flavor and aroma shall follow me all the days of my life
and I will dwell in the House of Maxwell forever.

Amen!

Coffee May Counteract Alcohols Poisonous Effects on the Liver

This may be old news but I was thinking that I should include it since there are so many that are “down” on the effects of coffee. What I would like for people to realize is that caffeine and coffee are not the same things. Many feel that what caffeine does to one, coffee must also. Not so. It is not the caffeine content that is healthy about coffee.

Researchers believe that coffee may now counteract the poisonous effects of alcohol on the liver. ie: cirrhosis

In a study using 125k people drinking one cup of coffee a day seem to cut their risk of cirrhosis by 20 percent. Up that to four cups a day and it cut it by 80 percent. WOW!

The study proved the same results in both men and women and also on different ethnic groups. Works for everyone! I would not use the idea of this to keep drinking and think you can just drink a lot of coffee to counteract it though. That would be just silly.

I will state that they are not certain if the results are due to caffeine content or some other coffee factor. I would bet it is something other than the caffeine.
