    Coffee!

    Fresh grounds for coffee: Study shows it may boost longevity

    CHICAGO (AP) — Go ahead and have that cup of coffee, maybe even several more. New research shows it may boost chances for a longer life, even for those who down at least eight cups daily.

    In a study of nearly half-a-million British adults, coffee drinkers had a slightly lower risk of death over 10 years than abstainers.

    The apparent longevity boost was seen with instant, ground and decaffeinated, results that echo U.S. research. It’s the first large study to suggest a benefit even in people with genetic glitches affecting how their bodies use caffeine.

    Overall, coffee drinkers were about 10 percent to 15 percent less likely to die than abstainers during a decade of follow-up. Differences by amount of coffee consumed and genetic variations were minimal.

    The results don’t prove your coffee pot is a fountain of youth nor are they a reason for abstainers to start drinking coffee, said Alice Lichtenstein, a Tufts University nutrition expert who was not involved in the research. But she said the results reinforce previous research and add additional reassurance for coffee drinkers.

    “It’s hard to believe that something we enjoy so much could be good for us. Or at least not be bad,” Lichtenstein said.

    The study was published Monday in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine.

    It’s not clear exactly how drinking coffee might affect longevity. Lead author Erikka Loftfield, a researcher at the U.S. National Cancer Institute, said coffee contains more than 1,000 chemical compounds including antioxidants, which help protect cells from damage.


    So, my two vices - dark chocolate and coffee - may actually be keeping me alive longer!
    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

      I think I mentioned it before but my doctor told me to drink more coffee before.

      Now if I can only get him to tell me to eat more bacon...

        They found a half a million British heretics who drink coffee?

              And coffee starts with C which rhymes with P and that stands for pool.

                      Y'all do realize that the vast majority of coffee drinkers die within a week of drinking the stuff

                        It's been decades for me, so I must be immune.

                            Nobody said that it was after the first drink.

                            Did you also realize that most auto accidents here in the U.S. are caused by people who drink coffee?

                              Still unlikely to happen to me, since I pretty much only drink it at work, and I ain't working past my three score and 10....
