BBC Scotland reporter Alan Grant: "Exploding the myth that coffee is bad"However, the study did show that those who drank the most coffee were the least likely to die from heart disease while the opposite was true of tea drinking. Tea has been thought to have health improving properties because it contains antioxidants - particles that have been found to reduce the risk of cancer and prevent good cholesterol turning into bad cholesterol, which can cause heart disease. Coffee, on the other hand, has been thought to be bad for health in large amounts because it can alter heart rhythms.“

A company spokesman said that the agreement reached on Friday with Newco - the working name for the consortium - was a "letter of intent" to sell the plant. Unions believe the deal would save jobs The spectre of sale or closure has been hanging over Kvaerner Energy's Clydebank operations since it was revealed in December that a management buy-out attempt had failed.“

BBC News | HEALTH | Tea 'could help prevent cancer'

  „"But the protective effect of tea is far from proven, and more well-designed, large-scale human studies are needed." Bill Gorman, executive director of The Tea Council, said: "The findings from this study further add to the growing evidence demonstrating tea's potential role in reducing the risk of certain cancers. "It is good to see more human studies providing a direct link with tea polyphenols and positive health benefits. "The conclusions from these types of studies highlights yet another good reason for drinking tea." Results of the ongoing study were presented to the annual meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research.

BBC News | Americas | Flaw found in Boeing 767

  „And the aerospace giant will carry out changes to hundreds of planes already in service to correct a flaw in a cockpit shield that failed federal flame tests, said Jeff Hawk, director of aeroplane certification at Boeing's commercial division. Thirty-four new 747, 757, 767 and 777 model planes will be delayed for "a few days" to ensure their drip shields, which keep moisture from seeping into the cockpit, are assembled according to the design approved by the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Unrelated to crash "This is not related to any accident, incident or in-service event," Mr Hawk said. The announcement was not related to the investigation into the cause of Sunday's crash of an EgyptAir Boeing 767-300ER passenger plane off the coast of Massachusetts, he said.“
