A pair of new studies show drinking more coffee offers life-extending benefits.
Good news (in a venti cup!) for those who love coffee: Two new studies show that drinking more java could help you live a longer life.

There is iced coffee.

Soup of the day: Coffee
For some reason I find that statement absolutely hilarious.
Lattes and iced cappuccinos don’t count. I see so many fat people slurping the stuff.
Study funded by Folger’s and Maxwell house... What?
There is a good Norwegian study (thousands of subjects over decades) that shows 3-5 cups of brewed coffee a day reduces the risk of Alzheimer’s by 50%.
Mice studies in the U.S.A. give the same results.
Has to be brewed coffee. Hot water, caffeine, and instant coffee do not give the results. Only brewed coffee.
Here’s a list of big corporate - including four federal departments:

AARP creeps me out for a whole bunch of reasons.
Just one example—they allow United Healthcare to use their name for marketing purposes and United Healthcare is a terrible company with awful health care insurance plans.

I wonder if Keurig counts as brewed coffee.
