If you’re already holding your first coffee of the morning, you might want to put it down, because drinking four cups a day could raise your risk of dying young, researchers warn—but only if you’re under 55. They found that consuming 28 cups of coffee a week increases the chances of premature death in younger people by half. …
The risk of death from all causes rose by 56 percent for men and women younger than 55 who drank more than 28 cups of coffee a week, said a report in the journal Mayo Clinic Proceedings. …
Recent research has shown that coffee is a major dietary source of antioxidant, and it may reduce inflammation and boost brain function. At the same time, coffee stimulates the release of adrenaline, inhibits insulin activity, increases blood pressure, and raises levels of homocysteine, a harmful chemical linked to heart disease and dementia. …

If there is too much blood in my caffeine stream, ... I’ll leave it at that.
What a shoddy “study”! Nice little throw in there of coffee drinkers are more likely to smoke... So why didn’t they sub-group smokers?
Junk.
Study? It sounds more like data mining to find some association as a reason to publish and look for a grant to proceed.
"It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed, the hands acquire shakes, the shakes become a warning. It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion."
One of my wife’s and mine favorite parts of the country. We will be traveling through much of Utah in a few weeks. Never get tired of the scenery.
Yet, previous reports said coffee drinkers lived longer. *yawn*
Oh! Well, whew!
Good thing I only snort cocaine!
I was worried for a second.
Little do they know, not all coffee can be adequately described as mere cups...
For some has been known to kill far more quickly, while other reanimate the dead...
What are ya, a couple of Mormons?!

“Researcher Steven Blair, of the University of South Carolina, said: ‘Significantly the results did not demonstrate any association between coffee consumption and all-cause mortality in older men and women.’
But the researchers did not explain why coffee did not affect older people in the same way.”
I think it is simple. Drinking 4 LATTES or more a day at a Starbucks is bad for you. Drinking coffee is good for you. Older folks drink COFFEE. Younger drink designer coffee fad drinks.
Drinking less than four cups a day could raise my co-workers risk of dying young...
Bunk. My mother-in-law drank huge amounts of coffee. In Summer it was iced coffee. She would make a big pot, cover it and put it in the refrigerator, pour cups and place it in the microwave all day long.
She had her last cup of coffee a few days before she died at 92.
I wish you would not show those paintings, they make me so homesick for the 4 corners region! I was through there (Moab) a few weeks ago. I cried when I had to leave.
Muench, Wasn’t he a photographer for ARIZONA HIGHWAYS years ago?
Yeah sure but what about second-hand coffee? (you know, people who are in the same room when you drink 4 cups) We definitely need a few million-dollar studies to find new ways to control us!
That is David Muench, Charles's shirttail relative.
Let’s see. Odd number year, coffee is bad. Even number year, coffee is good again.
Lather, rinse, repeat.
