Coffee Drinkers Live Longer! oK, I think I detect a small measure of skepticism – and rightly so! We are far from being persuaded by unsubstantiated claims and purported “facts”. Oh no, we know when things are kosher: they resonate with our inner beliefs and support our standpoint. We are free to pick and choose whatever we want to bolster our lifestyle choices. Right? The sensational claim of longevity is based on a National Institute of Health study which observed a very large group of coffee drinkers over a period of 13 years. The bottom line being that those who drank the most coffee had a reduced risk of death during the study. (Aside: Hmm – there I was thinking that we all had a 100% risk of death!) Yes, this was an observational study which the authors, to their credit point out that the association does not amount to causation of reduced risk of dying, but gives us confidence in their findings. So, I choose to feel fully convinced with this one. To check the astounding claims in a less frivolous and shall we say more composed atmosphere go here: Freedman ND, et al. Association of coffee drinking with total and cause specific mortality. New England Journal of Medicine, 2012. Or, on the other hand you may be more inclined to adopt my method: read the headline, rejoice and refill!
