RE: Science says coffee drinkers live longer
I would like to believe that 😃. I wonder if I will live 3.68 years longer if I drink 6 cups of coffee a day? 😆
I think the biggest problem of such studies is this:
Americas, Europe, Australia, and Asia
I think all these countries have a more or less high level of access to medicine. The results could be different if they were held somewhere in South Sudan, Burundi or Chad.
Despite some skepticism in my comment, I believe that this study used a scientific analytical approach and I have no doubt that the results have a right to exist. Moreover, these results are beneficial to me and I am completely satisfied 😃
I was also skeptical, but I was thinking about lifestyle. I was thinking that people doing manual work like construction workers and farmers may not have the time available to drink threee cups of coffee per day (In the US, farming is actually the most deadly occupation per-capita - or at least that was true a few years ago). In contrast, desk-workers can drink coffee while we work.
So, in general, I was guessing that there are lifestyle differences that cause both the differences in health and coffee consumption.
Your point about geography is also a good one. I've seen several articles on the topic that many scientific studies are biased by their reliance on "WEIRD" research subjects (Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic). It's easy to believe that these underlying studies were, too.
