Given that the NIH is a government entity this means coffee is linked, completely, with HIGHER risk of death.
Whew.. (as I suck my 2nd cup down.)
Cool! I thought it was a 100% shot, too!
Maybe you don’t live longer, it just FEELS longer!
Can’t help it. I love the stuff. A good, strong, French Roast or a light cup of Blue Mountain...
A good coffee is like a fine liquor, or excellent cigar!
No doubt.
We drink a couple cups of half decaf every morning with Horizon milk. It’s yummy. And breakfast!
i love and drink coffee but right now am drinking lots of green tea which is also very nurturing and has a side benefit of helping weight maintenance. Either way glad to hear that something I have practically lived on my whole life is life enhancing :).
Exactly.
The last time I checked the mortality rate was still 100%.
Coffee is relatively high in a couple essential nutrients like Magnesium and Potassium.
And believe it or not, I have read that the single, highest source of antioxidants in most Americans diet is Java! Not the computer crap, the drink!
People love to hear good news about their bad habits.
This and most other “studies” are bull$h!t. They don’t consider all the factors, and they lead the low-information crowd to attribute causation where there is no justification.
Remember the crap about married people being happier? Everyone concludes that to become happy you should get married. Bull$h!t. Happy people are more likely to find a mate than unhappy people. Duh.
Even worse, the crap about kids who had nightlights in their bedrooms when they were young had a greater chance of being nearsighted. So the talking heads on TV said that we should not put nightlights in kids’ bedrooms! Duh! Nearsighted kids NEEDED the *&^&$$##_) nightlights!
End of rant. What I really want to rant about is NSA/IRS/ fascism.

Don’t worry - tomorrow it’ll be bad for you again.
RE: Older adults who drank coffee — caffeinated or decaffeinated — had a lower risk of death
Oh, I could have saved them a bunch of money. With a 100% certainty we will all die.

Older adults who drank coffee — caffeinated or decaffeinated — had a lower risk of death overall than others who did not drink coffee, according a study by researchers from the National Cancer Institute (NCI), part of the National Institutes of Health, and AARP.
As soon as I finish this pot, then, I'll be immortal.
You can just say “I don’t like coffee”.
We won’t kill ya!
But remember, somebody in the government might not like it...
;-)
If that’s true, the admin at my office will probably live forever. God help us...
