Miracle drink!-----A New Study Claims Coffee Could Prevent Premature Death

A New Study Claims Coffee Could Prevent Premature Death:
Go ahead and have that second, third and fourth espresso this afternoon.
A new study suggests drinking more coffee could prevent premature death.
Published in the journal Circulation, the study looked at data from 167,000 women and 40,000 men at different points in their lives, concluding that "higher consumption of total coffee, caffeinated coffee and decaffeinated coffee was associated with lower risk of total mortality."
According to Walter Willett, a researcher from the Harvard School of Public Health and one of the study's authors, people who drink three to five cups of coffee per day had a 15% lower risk of premature mortality, or a potentially preventable death that occurs before the person's expected age.
You don't have to be a caffeine fan to benefit:
The study found decaf coffee worked just fine, and that the results are probably from the phytochemicals and other nutrients found in coffee beans.
"We went beyond total mortality and looked at specific causes of death," Willett told NPR.
"And we found that people who drink moderate amounts of coffee have lower risk of [death] from cardiovascular disease, diabetes, neurologic disease [such as Parkinson's] and suicide."
