Coffee makes you live longer?

[driven]

I love this topic because half of the people say coffee will kill you and the other half say it is good for you. I just read an article that said that people who drink 4-6 cups of coffee a day live longer! I love my coffee so I am going with that one.

It makes you laugh doesn't it? I think you and I both choose to believe the hype that fits with what we want. I discount the articles that tell me that something I like is bad for me. It's just as well we have so many differing opinions to choose from.

Yeah, it does give me a laugh, but I am with you. Other wise I would be torn between two sides, feel guilty and be torn. I'd rather enjoy each and every day and be happy!

From what I found the research is mixed on it but I see it this way. Coffee is a bean/plant. It's natural and really not very processed or laden with additives or odd food colorings (like blue!?). I believe that in moderation, like all things, it won't be detrimental. Probably the caffeine is the only thing, as it is addictive. Go ahead ... pour another cup.

Well, you might be right. Since they said 6 cups a day made you live longer I tried 6 cups a day and WOAH! Hah, I love my coffee but that is way too much for me!

LOL, 6 cups that's way too much, I agree
However I'm sure that natural coffee (not instant) is much better for health then coke or any other pop
