Benefits Offered by This Popular Morning Beverage

Rhode Island just got dumped on by the Blizzard of '78 and Salty Brine announced over the radio that there would obviously be no school today! I was huddled around the table, with the grown-ups, with little heat, playing cards for quarters. My Mom had just perked a fresh pot -on the gas stove with one of those old type percolator pots. "Mr. Coffee" was out of commission along with the rest of the electrical appliances due to the power outage. I was 11 years old, and a little bit concerned that it might stunt my growth...maybe my worry was justified; I'm only 5' 6". Actually, that's an old wives' tale...coffee does not stunt growth. But there are other reasons that youngsters shouldn't drink more than a little bit, once in a while.
