                      Only if they're coffee stouts.

                        But to be sure, you should increase the consumption amount. . .

                            Next thing you know, water must be bad for you because 100% of the people that drinks water dies.

                              So, I read the abstract, but not the full article because of the pay wall, but I can't help but to think of my stats class and how they stressed the concept that association is not causation. I would love to see what they controlled for in the study, but it seems too good to be true to me: "Her team found that coffee was associated with fewer deaths due to heart disease, cancer, respiratory disease, stroke, diabetes and kidney disease". Results like that are usually indicative of differences in social-economic classes, access to sufficient and healthy foods, stress levels, exercise, etc, and not a single food item. I mean, unless they have a plausible explanation of how coffee prevents diabetes, then to me it seems like they are just selling snake oil.

                              The other doctor's quote seems to me to be more on point: "we are increasingly reassured that coffee is not harmful." This, to me, seems closer to the truth.

                                Sounds exactly like snake oil...

                                  Johns Hopkins, I have friends who have been scammed by them in the past. Not a respectable facility. Same hospital whose head of surgery was literally delusionally insane. I don't even consider them a medical facility.

                                    I've known about this for a couple years now. Stuff You Should Know did a podcast on this a few years ago... two of them. One on caffeine, and one on coffee. (too lazy to link the episodes) Seems like this doctor just discovered those episodes and wrote about it. The benefits are legit.

                                          The entire "may" help you live longer title is misleading. No where in the article it mention that caffeine "may" also kill you. http://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/south-carolina-teen-died-caffeine-overdose-coroner-rules-n759716
