Excess Coffee May Be Linked To Early Death
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."
Possible correlation to people who drink a lot of coffee and people who work crazy hours/lots of stress/not much sleep/eat poorly/etc..
My excessive coffee drinking is a symptom of my shitty lifestyle.
Death from all causes is the leading causes of death for people under 55.
if you are the kind of person who drinks that much coffee...
anyway it's not clear that coffee is the problem
Doesn't matter in the market, though, expect Starbucks stock to dip on the news. Wait for it to go to a sufficient low and buy, because caffeine addicts will rationalize their fear away (the way smokers are real pros at) and be back in two shakes of a lamb's tail.

Sometimes they say coffee is beneficial and helpful.
Or even sometimes they say it actually lowers the risk of death.
Other times they say it's horrible and should be avoided.
Can you please make up your minds already? |:
What do I know, I'm just an idiot, right?
No, the fork should bend out of the way to avoid entering the coffee at all.
