Coffee Drinkers Die Less? WoW Implications

[creekster]

We promote it is a health code. "Run and not be weary, walk and not faint...". It seems to me that longer life span is a pretty solid indicator of health.

What am I missing?

See his explanation above. He can defend himself mo bettuh than me.

Die less is not entirely accurate. Decreased risk of dying during a time period, but that just takes up too much space in the subject.

Improvements to their future annual mortality rates.

I'm interested in hearing the LDS response to this...Coffee Drinking...when adjusted for smoking abuse, had an inverse association with risk of death. The hazard ratio became more significant the greater amount of coffee ingested.

I think the etoh ban in the church is questionable, but OK. Smoking ban is right on and a great decision. Coffee ban is purely cultural interpretation and should absolutely be reconsidered if further prospective RCT research validates this cohort study. Everytime physicians ask me why I don't drink coffee I give the same answer and it just makes our religion seem rediculous. This is my opinion; I'm curious to hear others' opinions on here about this.

We are basing tennets of our religion upon beliefs from Church leaders from 100 years ago and medical knowledge at the time, when physicians caused more harm than good. Time to move forward on this issue.

Yes, we do. Drink coffee and your risk of death drops below 1.0.

The amount of sugar it takes for coffee to be palatable to me has far worse WoW implications for me than the coffee itself.

My mom likes to use this "coffee needs so much sugar to make it taste good" line as another justification for why its bad. She says this as she pops another Hershey's Kiss.

Sugar ruins coffee. I like mine with cream only.

It would be important to see the test parameters, and to see what competing tests show. How can consuming that much caffeine be positive in one's health?

It's got to be bad for the teeth and stomach lining?

Does it affect the quality of life? Do increased headaches attributable to heavy caffeine consumption figure in?

How does one "die less?"

Wasn't this a 60s James Bond movie?

This is in addition to recent research linking coffee consumption to reduced risk of prostate cancer. Utah leads the nation in low rates of most types of cancer, but we are at or near the bottom in prostate cancer.

Hell, I don't know. I just know my risk of death is now less than non-coffee drinkers.

Now, if something could be done about the risk of taxes...

Just as a random musing, how different is coffee now chemically compared to the mid-1800s?

It is interesting to learn which Cuffers have bad breath drink coffee regularly.

Chemically? Coffee beans are grown, harvested, roasted and ground. I guess flavored coffees may have chemicals. Are you referring to pesticides and fertilizers used to grow the beans?

I have a toothbrush toothpaste and mouthwash at work for this purpose. Coffee does give bad breath, but no more so than people who eat raw onions on their burgers and salads...

I'm talking about the end product. Whatever makes its way into the average cup. Its probably too broad a question to answer anyway since not all coffee is created equal.

I just assumed that was because of all the masturbation due to everyone being addicted to porn.
