drink more coffee

Another study is out touting the health benefits of coffee.  If you drink 3-4 cups of coffee a day it can "reduce your risk of death from all causes".  That seems like a pretty sweeping promise to me.  Once again I would like to point out that our chance of death, from some cause or other, is 100 percent.  Also I find it hard to imagine how drinking coffee can reduce my risk of falling off a cliff or dying in an a plane crash.  The reporter hastened to add that they were talking about 3 to 4 8 oz cups of black coffee, not giant lattes or cappuchinos.  Well where's the fun in that?
