Everyone here knew I was talking about -- and probably -- one of those people that needs a cup of coffee in the morning to get going how about you.
There's a new study that finds that drinking two or more cups a day can actually lower woman's risk of developing uterine cancer.
Doctor -- -- about this who wouldn't want to try that.
