Scientists have found further evidence that drinking coffee has health benefits, possibly protecting against certain cancers.

The study suggests that drinking more than four cups of coffee a day decreases the risk of developing certain cancers.

Mia Hashibe of the University of Utah, Salt Lake City compared the coffee-drinking habits of 5,139 cases with that of 9,028 case-control studies of head and neck cancers. From her analysis was revealed that people who drank more than four cups of coffee a day had a 39 per cent decreased risk of cancers of the oral cavity and pharynx combined, compared with those who didn’t drink coffee.

„Since coffee is so widely used and there is a relatively high incidence and low survival rate of these forms of cancers, our results have important public health implications that need to be further addressed”, Mia Hashibe said.

„What makes our results so unique is that we had a very large sample size, and since we combined data across many studies, we had more statistical power to detect associations between cancer and coffee.”

The findings were published online in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research, and used studies from the International Head and Neck Cancer Epidemiology (INHANCE) consortium.

Although Mia Hashibe’s research shows this association between caffeine and cancer risk, the mechanisms involved are not known, or what dose of caffeine is healthiest. Researchers point out that coffee contains phenols, some of which are known to have antioxidant properties and others are thought to activate enzymes that help the body deal with carcinogens.

According to Ed Yong, head of health information at Cancer Research UK – „Coffee is a cocktail of hundreds of different chemicals and we don’t know which of these, if any, could affect the risk of cancer. You often only see benefits in people who drink a great deal of coffee. And studies like these rely on people with cancer remembering how much coffee they drank years ago. We now need studies that look at larger groups of initially healthy people to see if the amount of coffee they drink affects their cancer risk over time”.

Update: Here is the full story…get your popcorn, it’s a long one!

In just 11 short hours from the time of this writing, team Breitbart (of BigGovernment.com) will release details on another shocking alleged scandal that involves a few notable parties including the NEA (National Endowment for the Arts), the White House Office of Public Engagement, and several more. This story appears to have quite a bit more meat to it, and so far, there have only been teasers regarding the context of the information that will be released today at 12 noon ET.

Long story short, as far as we can tell, there were some phone calls (including a conference call with a few officials involved), and what looks to be a cover-up for the NEA coordinating with the White House to push their agenda on a group of artists who are desperate for government grants. In other words, were the artists pushed into making “Obama” art that complimented his political agenda, just to stand a better chance at receiving highly sought-after grant money?

Think of the “carrot dangling from stick in front of rabbit” scenario. At least that’s what we can tell for now.

Keep up with breaking updates by following Breitbart on Twitter.

More to come as the story breaks…

After reading through liberal/left wacko blogs like DailyKOS.com and related sites, I thought I would take a few minutes to collect and post the five ACORN undercover investigative videos that have surfaced this week, thanks to James O’Keefe, Hannah Giles, and BigGovernment.com – True Conservative heroes that aren’t afraid to expose criminal and corrupt organizations in front of the entire world.

By the way, the extremely scary looking gentleman to the left is one of the co-founders of ACORN.

Liberals are so frightened right now, they have absolutely no idea what to do, think, or say about this. They’re claiming that these videos are “systematically” edited (which, if you watch the raw OR ‘edited for TV’ footage, you can certainly tell it’s not) – but they’re crying foul because they honestly have nothing else to fight with. ACORN is being “systematically” disassembled, and the left are in a complete state of panic and confusion. It’s so much fun to watch them attempt to assemble a viable defense.

Not happening.

I mean, even the White House is taking active measures to distance itself from ACORN. Come on, libs, follow your glorious leader!

We love it. As we posted earlier in the @alarmy Twitter stream – the 2010 elections will be like taking candy from a liberal baby. I have liberal friends (unfortunately) that are considering moving out of the country because they know the Republican Senate will win 30+ seats, which will definitely change the game back to normal. Sure, we have to put up with another year of left-wing socialist BS, but that’s okay. We can already taste the sweet rewards, and we can have fun teasing the left for another year, watching them piss themselves.

Below are the five ACORN videos that have surfaced this past week. We can’t do them justice in describing them, you’ll just have to watch for yourself. You don’t even have to watch them in order, due to the level of extreme corruption in each one. Just point and click, and most of all, enjoy!

Note: Unconfirmed sources via Twitter report that there are potentially dozens more incriminating ACORN videos like the ones seen below. Super!
