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!
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%.
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.
If that’s true, the admin at my office will probably live forever. God help us...
I add red wine consumption just to be extra sure.
Skydiving also greatly reduces the risk of dying due to diseases associated with old age. A study would definitely show that people who skydive at least three times a month display almost no signs of senile dementia, atherosclerosis, osteoporosis, multiple organ failure, etc.
The familiar "Post hoc ergo propter ergo" fallacy.
Makes me not want to listen to anything anymore.
Just like Rush said, a trauma society. DON’T EAT EGGS!!! Oh, wait, eggs are good. DON’T DRINK COFFEE!!! Oh, wait...
Why bother listening to any of it if it’s going to change in ten years. Saves you from feeling guilt of everything you do or don’t do.
If I don’t have my cofee there is a serious risk of second hand death.
I am going to live forever!
Dang...now I can live forever. :-)
