Coffee drinking tied to lower risk of suicide

    Caffeine could help restore potency in men with erectile dysfunction due to diabetes, the results of a new study in rats suggest.

    But drinking coffee won't cure erectile dysfunction in diabetic men, Dr. Run Wang of the University of Texas Medical School at Houston, one of the study's authors, told Reuters Health.

    If the findings in rodents do translate to humans, he added, it is possible that coffee drinkers might need to take less medication for treating diabetes-related erectile dysfunction.

    As many as 75 percent of men with diabetes have erectile dysfunction, Wang and his team note in their report, published in the Journal of Andrology.

    Erectile dysfunction in diabetic men is chiefly related to poor function of the endothelium, which is responsible for responding to chemical signals to increase blood flow by dilating blood vessels.

    That sounds awesome. Like my dream conversion.

    Have you seen the (I think it's on) HGTV show You Live in What? Sounds like it could be featured on that show.

    And but "safes" I mean bank vaults. Sorry, was typing really fast, brain outpacing fingers.

    That gives us an inspiring new spin to "safe sex."

    Anyone who comes to Bennington this summer or fall and says "llamas" to the idiot behind the counter gets 10% off.
