Time for another cup of coffee

Science 20 - People who drink three to five cups of coffee per day are less likely to die prematurely from some illnesses than those who don't drink or drink less coffee, according to a new study. Drinkers of both caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee saw benefits, including a lower risk of death from cardiovascular disease, neurological diseases, type 2 diabetes, and suicide.

Web MD - Over 30 years, nonsmokers who drank three to five cups of coffee a day were 15 percent less likely to die of any cause, versus nondrinkers.. . . None of that proves coffee, itself, extends people's lives or directly protects against certain diseases. . .  Other factors might explain the connection.

"nonsmokers who drank three to five cups of coffee a day were 15 percent less likely to die of any cause..." Really? We'd better up the coffee consumption of soldiers. C'mon folks, think. That makes no sense, as written, whatsoever.

But, those that drink 3-5 cups of coffee a day are probably less likely to die in their sleep, lol.
