I would still drink coffee daily, regardless of its new status as a health drink; I love the taste. Full of antioxidants and performance enhancing caffeine, the reasons to drink a cup of joe go far beyond merely enjoying the flavor of this distinct brew. If caffeinated coffee gives you the jitters you can still reap the health benefits of java.

With the $2 billion business of decaffeinated coffee at a plateau, coffee companies are focusing their efforts on new "low-caf" blends.

To me, that cup of coffee in the morning is all about the caffeine. It's my vice (well that and chocolate chip cookies)--but we all have them, right? But I do commend all of you decaf drinkers.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a long-term (chronic) disease that causes inflammation of the joints and surrounding tissues. It can also affect other organs.
RA destroys the protective tissue (cartilage) surrounding the joints. Healthy cartilage allows bones to glide smoothly over one another, and absorbs the shock of physical movement.

Sling Procedure Versus Burch Colposuspension
The sling procedure is better than Burch colposuspension in treating stress incontinence but may cause more post-operative urinary complications, according to results from an important 2007 New England Journal of Medicine study. In the first large-scale clinical trial to directly compare these two types of surgery, 47% of women who underwent the sling procedure had no urinary incontinence 2 years after surgery, compared with 38% of women who received the Burch procedure. However, 63% of women who had the sling procedure (and 47% of women who underwent the Burch procedure) experienced urinary tract infections following surgery.
