Report Drinking coffee linked to lower deaths: research

[tom_mai78101]

Researchers found that compared with people who did not drink coffee, men who consumed six or more cups a day where 10 per cent less likely to die during the 14 years of the study.

For women there were 15 per cent fewer deaths for those drinking six cups or more.

The findings, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, showed that there was a marginal difference for men drinking one cup per day, but two drinking two to three cups a day were 10 per cent less likely to die, those drinking four or five cups per day were 12 per cent less likely to die than non coffee drinkers.

For women there was no effect seen for one cup or less per day. Those drinking two or three cups were five per cent less likely to die compared with those who drank none at all and those drinking four or five cups were 16 per cent less likely to die.

The researchers said the effect was seen across almost all causes of death including heart disease, respiratory disease, stroke, injuries and accidents, diabetes, and infections.

Study suggests lower death risk for coffee lovers

REUTERS - Older people who reported drinking a few daily cups of coffee were less likely to die over the subsequent 14 years than were those who abstained from the beverage or rarely drank it, according to a U.S. study of 400,000 people.

Less likely to die? LOL Strange headline, since we are all 100% going to die, no matter what.

According to a U.S. study of 400,000 people. The study was not without limitations, researchers noted, including that Freedman’s team only knew how much coffee participants drank at one point in the mid-1990s, and those patterns could have changed over time.

Weird..
I was sure drinking that much coffee a day would kill you sooner..

 

[Fatmankev]

Seems more coincidental to me than it seems like evidence. I just can't imagine how that could possibly improve your health after continuous, long-term use.

[Varine]

Yes, the best character ever. I've always wanted to be just like Mr. Pink.

 

[FireCat]

I've always wanted to be just like Mr. Pink.

You can always dream about it. lol

 

[Varine]

Or I could just go steal some diamonds and stop tipping people.

 

[FireCat]

Oh Varine, You don't even need to Steal, Just travel away at the planet made of diamonds. Huh?
And btw: Mr. Pink is such a clumsy criminal! So still wanna be Mr. Pink?

What was the sample size?

We examined the association of coffee drinking with subsequent total and cause-specific mortality among 229,119 men and 173,141 women in the National Institutes of Health–AARP Diet and Health Study who were 50 to 71 years of age at baseline

large enough

Seems legit.
