"  Here&amp;#039;s some bad news: A new study published on Thursday in Mayo Clinic Proceedings (via the Atlanta Journal-Constitution) found that drinking what they call &amp;quot;excessive&amp;quot; amounts of coffee, defined as roughly four cups a day (which is what I have before 7 a.m., so I&amp;#039;m probably going to die in about an hour), increases a person&amp;#039;s risk of dying. Literally dying. Dying! Over three decades, the study tracked 43,000 men and women (which is kind of a lot for a study, y&amp;#039;all, which means this is a super good one \u2014 or maybe that&amp;#039;s the coffee talking, because frankly, I can&amp;#039;t tell anymore) and their coffee consumption; those who drank 28 cups of coffee or more per week had a 21% higher mortality rate. Subjects younger than 55 were 50% likelier to die. To die! Actual death. Sorry. Just want to drive that point home. Here&amp;#039;s the confusing part: Other studies have shown health benefits to drinking coffee, like diminished depression, a lower risk of stroke, and a 2012 study that showed older adults who drank coffee were less likely to die.  In short: You&amp;#039;re going to die anyway, so you might as well enjoy that sweet, silky French roast in the interim.  Photo via Taxi Follow Sam on Twitter.
