Does that mean that caffeine is a risk too? Doesn't it have similar effects to nicotine? (I drink a loooooot of coffee).

- aetherspawn 7y agoReally 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?

- jdietrich 7y agoThe 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. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24279995 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24279995

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.
