DISPENSARY CORNER 1 March 16

LOVERS of coffee and alcohol
rejoice - one may offset the
negative affects of the other.
According to a study from
Britain’s Southampton University
which assessed the date of nearly
half a million people, found
participants who had one to two
cups of coffee a day reduced their
risk of cirrhosis by up to 43%.
And if you really love coffee,
downing three to four cups each
day cuts the risk up to 65%.
Coffee doesn’t just wake you
up after a hangover (PD does
not endorse giving yourself one
of these) but it helps fight the
damage alcohol can cause to your
liver - convenient.
It’s the antioxidants in the drink
that help repair cell and reduce
inflammation.
Enjoy a latte or four today and
feel the healing!
MEET “Senhor Testiculo”, Brazil’s
new and rather graphic testicular
cancer mascot.
The wide-eyed, lumpy, curlyhaired
testicles with a name that
literally translates to ‘Mr Balls’
certainly made an impression at
a recent event raising awareness
and money for testicular cancer.
Children, families and friends
were all getting in on the action,
posing and snapping shots with
the alarming poster boy.
While it may be a little cringeworthy,
Mr Balls has now made
national news, thrusting the cause
into the spotlight, so I guess his
purpose has been achieved.
Would you pose with him?
