| Cafe con leche- mi pasion |
For those of you who are tea/coffee consumers and possible germophobes, here is an interesting article for you.
Tea and coffee consumption reduces the risk of MRSA nasal carriage, per a recent study published in the Annals of Family Medicine .In an adjusted logistic regression analysis controlling for age, race, sex, poverty-income ratio, current health status, hospitalization in the past 12 months, and use of antibiotics in the past month, individuals who reported consuming hot tea were one-half as likely to have MRSA nasal carriage relative to individuals who drank no hot tea (odds ratio = 0.47; 95% confidence interval, 0.31-0.71). Similarly, individuals who reported consuming coffee had about a one-half reduction in the risk of MRSA nasal carriage relative to individuals who drank no coffee (odds ratio = 0.47; 95% confidence interval, 0.24-0.93).
I am going to have a second cup of cafe con leche, of course, as I am still in Argentina.
