Drink Coffee and... Live!

[Liam]

Latest study finds that heavy coffee-drinkers and -addicts tend to live longer, overall.

Not sure how they managed to pull this cat out of the bag, since they only conducted their research over a number of years (vs an entire human lifetime, which would be much harder to pull off, one should imagine), but the upshot of their findings seems to be that coffee-lovers everywhere should relax and not be wracked with guilt over that fifth or sixth cup of mocha/latte/cappucino or whatever the fuck they happen to be drinking at the moment.

My own number is between three and four cups a day, and I thought that was too much; meanwhile six seems to be the asnwer!

If I belonged to the World Coffee Lobby, a consortium of pathological liars and slave plantation owners, I would finance research where 400,000 people in a world consisting of billions of people are tested. Then the world would buy my product. What I read on a Swedish website is that the study refers to older people, but of course, the coffee propaganda organisations will quickly bend the results and pretend they mean that we should all drink six cups a day to increase their profits. Don't you ever learn that nearly every survey of this sort has a hidden agenda, i.e. selling?

Well, I am with TEA. More so now, as the country is set to declare Tea as the National Drink from 2013 (April 17, 2013 apparently).

However, I prefer this in Coffee, not those machine made ones.
