Doesn't everyone by definition have the same risk of death? (spoiler alert: it's gonna happen).

Shouldn't this read "lower risk of health-related death causes?" or something similar.

Seems like a link-bait type headline with a lot of sketchy information to be considered a scientific study.

Also, correlation /=/ causation.

Although we cannot infer a causal relationship between coffee drinking and lower risk of death, we believe these results do provide some reassurance that coffee drinking does not adversely affect health."
