Another possibility: Coffee intake is a proxy measurement for bitter taste tolerance, as many people take theirs without sugar. As healthy vegetables and low sugar foodstuff tend to be bitter, coffee and healthy food may be correlated to some measure.

Decaffeinated coffee wouldn't allow the same transfer, by lack of the addictive ingredient.
