<< Says a habitual coffee drinker who came to the habit late in life, and who is very happy he's moderately dependent on a substance which is highly unlikely to kill him >>

Coffee will do more than not kill you; it was recently found to confer a "reduced risk of dying from heart disease and certain other causes"!

<< Compared with abstainers, nonsmokers who drank a cup of coffee a day had a 6 percent reduced risk of death, one to three cups an 8 percent reduced risk, three to five cups a 15 percent reduced risk, and more than five cups a 12 percent reduced risk. There was little difference whether they drank caffeinated or decaffeinated coffee. The association persisted after controlling for age, alcohol consumption, B.M.I. and other health and diet factors. >>
