Excess Coffee May Be Linked To Early Death

Posted by Soulskill on from the not-enough-coffee-may-be-linked-to-early-morning-violence dept.

Mr.Intel writes "Should we believe it? Those of us under 55 who drink a lot of coffee – more than four cups per day – may be at greater risk of an early death. And not just death from heart problems, but death from all causes. The study, published in Mayo Clinic Proceedings (abstract), followed people for almost two decades, and found that in both sexes, younger people were more likely to die of anything than people who drank less."

    Death from all causes is the leading causes of death for people under 55.

    No, the fork should bend out of the way to avoid entering the coffee at all.
