“More than four cups of coffee a day puts you at risk of early death...”

Doesn’t everything these days?

Less than four cups a day puts those around me at risk of an early death.

I could do 4 cups of coffee 30 years ago maybe.

Nowadays, more than one and I can’t sleep that night.

As long as each cup of coffee is countered by 3 beers, all is well.

I usually drink just one cup per day. It’s a really big cup.

More than four cups of coffee a day, and I die young.

Less than four cups of coffee a day, and everyone around me dies young.

Your choice.

Gimme a break. I quit smoking after 40 years ( well ok 39)cuz it was going to kill me. Now my severe coffee habit is in cahoots with the grim reaper too. What’s an aging, cranky guy to do? What vices are left (that won’t kill me). Can’t go for a younger woman or my wife will kill me fo sho!

increases the chances of premature death in younger people by half.

Bringing it to what? 3 in 1,000,000 instead of 2 in 1,000,000?

"It increases your risk by 50%!!!!"

Enough of this "relative risk" nonsense. Just give us the "absolute risk" numbers and quit with the sensationalism.

The risk of death from all causes rose by 56 percent ...

Then keep looking for other causes. Duh!
Coffee is still good for you, this week, until someone pays for a different study.

If you drink this much coffee or more, whatever you do, DON’T quit cold turkey. There are bad withdrawal symptoms such as headaches, lethargy, constipation, and depression.

I know from experience.

...and raises levels of homocysteine, a harmful chemical linked to heart disease and dementia.

Sounds like an aHA! moment...

I drink a grand total of only one cup of coffee a day at work. I'm more of a tea person--specifically real Chinese tea. I'm a big fan of the Dragon Well tea from the Hangzhou region of China (real Dragon Well tea from that region is quite expensive).

"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. …"


So .. my chances of dieing from rape and murder goes up 56% if I drink more than 28 cups of coffee a week ?

I might commit rape and murder if I drink more than 28 cups of coffee a week ... but I don't think I'll have a 56% more chance of dieing.

In other medical/scientific news: Eggs were bad for you but now they’re not, shrimp were high in cholesterol and now they’re ok too (because we put them on treadmills using stimulus money?), and a fetus isn’t a baby and can’t feel pain except it is and it can. They can pry my Keurig from my shaky, caffeinated hands.

You can enjoy your 30 cups of coffee a week and not live as long. Or you can believe all these studies and live long enough to sit in a nursing home corridor medicated into oblivion by doctors fleecing Medicare/ObamaCare.
