Coffee.... one of five Surprisingly Healthy Foods

http://www.webmd.com/diet/guide/5-surprisingly-healthy-foods?page=3


One real benefit for java lovers: your morning wake-up call can help satisfy your body's daily fluid needs. Studies show that coffee does not dehydrate habitual drinkers, as once believed, and can count toward your daily fluid quota, says Zied.

Another plus is that coffee is naturally calorie-free. But if you load it up with cream, sugar, whipped cream, and/or flavored syrup, the extra fat and calories can undermine any potential benefits.

There  has been this big discussion around here as to whether coffee counts toward daily fluid intake.  According the the above it does'  of course I realize that there's an argument that six cups of coffee a day isn't a good idea,  but at least I get my fluids

Art can neither be good or bad, only interesting or boring, says Eddie Breen, the leading practitioner of piggyback art. He takes paintings that he considers boring or incomplete, and inserts nuns, flying jesuses, flame people, or demons, changing the meaning of the composition in ways to suit his visions, to co opt the elements and create his own worlds.
