The only Maynard I recall is from those Malt-o-Meal commercials. We can see the criminal actions of a bear stealing cereal from a child.

coffee allegedly helps extend life... tea, especially green tea, helps prevent cancer...

I love challenging people on RF

Many studies over the years have found that coffee drinkers have lower rates of cancer, including a meta-analysis of 59 studies across 40 cohorts that showed regular coffee drinkers had a 13 percent lower risk of developing cancer compared to seldom or never drinkers. Regular coffee drinking may offer some protection against colorectal, prostate, liver, endometrial, oral and breast cancers.
...
So far, studies haven’t found a link between tea consumption and cancer prevention. One meta-analysis of 113 studies found “little evidence to support the hypothesis that tea drinking is associated with cancer risk.” In this round, at least from the studies so far, coffee is the clear favorite.

And oh yes, the longevity issue

Coffee and tea lovers rejoice! Coffee and tea drinkers tend to live longer than people who don’t drink either beverage.

This round is a draw. (between coffee and tea)

Being alive is a contributing factor to death.

This is very true.

And being dead is a contributing factor to lack of life.

Something of a quandary don't you think?

Miss Crimea 2022 found guilty of discrediting Russian army after singing pro-Ukrainian song | SBS News

Miss Crimea was one of two women who were found guilty of discrediting the Russian army by singing a Ukrainian patriotic song in a video posted on social media, local authorities have said.

Olga Valeyeva - who won the Miss Crimea 2022 beauty pageant - and an unnamed friend sang the popular Ukrainian "Chervona Kalyna" song on a balcony.

A video of the women singing was posted on Instagram stories, which auto-deletes after 24 hours.

Crimean police said Ms Valeyeva was fined 40,000 rubles ($1,042), while her friend was given a 10-day prison sentence.

"A video was published on the internet in which two girls performed a song that is the fighting anthem of an extremist organisation," Crimea's interior ministry said on Telegram on Monday.

It said a court found the women - born in 1987 and 1989 - guilty of discrediting the Russian army and publicly demonstrating Nazi symbols.

Russia, whose troops are fighting in Ukraine, often alleges that Kyiv's national symbols are extremist and Nazi-like.

Crimean police also posted a video of the women apologising for singing the song, blurring their faces.

"I did not know and did not realise that it had a nationalist character and definitely did not want to spread propaganda by singing it," one of the women said.

Earlier Ms Valeyeva posted on Instagram that she did not wish to "harm anyone".

"We just sang a Ukrainian song. We thought it was just a little song that we knew for a long time," she said.

Last month, the Moscow-installed head of the peninsula Sergei Aksyonov warned Crimeans that authorities would react "harshly" to such songs after Chervona Kalyna was played at a wedding.

"Singing such nationalist anthems - especially during the
special military operation
- will be punished," Mr Aksyonov said in a video on Telegram in September, using Moscow's terminology to describe its military intervention in Ukraine.

"People who do this are acting like traitors," he added.

Mr Aksyonov said there was a special FSB security service group working on the matter.

Russia annexed Crimea from Ukraine in 2014.

They were found guilty of "discrediting the Russian army and publicly demonstrating Nazi symbols."

question of causation...Is it because they drink coffee/tea and there is something beneficial in the drink, or is it because of some factor in their makeup that causes them to drink coffee/tea compared to others who do not?
