Britain could be in for a big freeze, with the climate ending up more like central Canada, say scientists studying the world's oceans. They have found evidence that the flow of cold water from the Arctic has decreased by 20% since 1950. If the trend contihttp://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/nm/20010904/hl/coffee_1.htmlnues, the supply of warm water to northern Europe will decline, bringing a big chill.

The study, carried out in Switzerland by the Lausanne-based Nestle Research Center, examined the effects of green tea, cocoa, herbal teas and coffee on antioxidant activity. ``We have known for some time from our monitoring of on-going research findings that there are many potential health benefits of consuming coffee,'' an official of the International Coffee Organization said in a statement Wednesday.
