I love coffee and will NEVER give it up,in spite of doctor suggestions.
And I’m as old as dirt.:-)

In odd numbered years, coffee is bad for you.
In even numbered years, coffee is good for you.
If science can’t get something like this straight, what the heck is science doing mouthing off about the global climate? Scientists today are mostly hacks seeking grants. I have little respect for modern science.
“Does drinking coffee help you live longer?”
It may or may not, but the fact that I drink coffee, most definitely helps the people I work with live longer...
For the highly-committed coffee addict, coffee lets other people live longer. Take it away at your own risk!
If coffee consumption is a factor in longevity, I ought to break Methusalah’s record.
The result of almost all studies: More study needed.
So far it has.
I’ve given up booze out of love and respect for my wife. I ain’t giving up java for anyone!
I’ll see you there.
The reason we live longer is because the caffeine keeps us going, and going, and going. We drink it because the will to live keeps us active. The joy of life including our love of coffee and BEING alive, working, playing, creating, debating, and making this world a better place (or should I say, holding the line against evil until He returns to obliterate it) and whatever keeps us off the hopelessness end of the bell curve, is what makes us live longer.
I plan on doing all I can until He calls me home. Have a blessed week and stay busy!
Reasons why causation may be reversed: Those who drink little or no coffee do so because they are unhealthy to begin with.
1. People with known health problems are likely to be instructed by their doctors not to drink coffee.
2. Symptoms of some health problems can be exacerbated by coffee consumption, so people with those health issues abstain.
JAMA. Please. More lawyers read it than doctors.
“Does drinking coffee help you live longer?
So far it has. “
So far so good...as I fall past 5th floor.
“I’ve given up booze out of love and respect for my wife.”
Out of my cold dead hands!
COFFEE RISK
The best book I ever read was about risk 30 years ago.
That means human risk.
The major concern were only the Big Risks, the obvious risks of 5x 10x 50x.
My beloved brother is dead, but I still live.
Drinking alcohol plus cigarette smoking killed him, because that bad risk was a 40x. I am grateful that I read the book.
But coffee was never an “obvious” negative risk.
But if I were to break down the risk.
Coffee - ok or neutral risk
Cream or milk - ok or neutral risk
Added sugar - too much could be a cancer risk
That is very correct. It's all junk science and all about getting grants to do this study or that. Every other year, they seem to reverse the conclusions from the year before so that they can get another grant to do another study.
My biggest pet peeve is with eggs, which often gets a bad rap but is the perfect food. My cholesterol actually goes DOWN when I increase the eggs in my diet. And I cook them in real butter too. Not that margarine or vegetable oil crap. Been doing that for decades and my blood work is almost always perfect.
