Really disappointed there’s no comments here. I scrolled this whole thread to see if anyone had talked about coffee.

It got me thinking because I know someone who never drank coffee in their life and lived a pretty full life nonetheless otherwise ... they’re over 100 as of recently and still self mobile, super active, sharp as a tack. She even had quite a few children.

I consume like 4-5 actual brewed coffees per day. Am I doomed?

Doomed to a slightly shorter life, made richer by the enjoyment of a beverage.

The evidence is inconclusive. Some studies show slightly higher all-cause mortality for coffee drinkers, some studies show slightly lower mortality. Either way, the effect size is clinically insignificant.

Coffee's fine. https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/full/10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA....

A nonlinear association between coffee consumption and CVD risk was observed in this meta-analysis. Moderate coffee consumption was inversely significantly associated with CVD risk, with the lowest CVD risk at 3 to 5 cups per day, and heavy coffee consumption was not associated with elevated CVD risk.

Its bad for blood pressure - I switched to decaf for that reason.

How something raises BP might be important, tho.
