Always knew it!!! Our clinical study of two persons supports the findings reported by Jane Brody (aka Calamity Jane in our household) in the Times's Science Section: "When smoking and many other factors known to influence health and longevity were taken into account, coffee drinkers in the study were found to be living somewhat longer than abstainers. Further, the more coffee consumed each day up to a point, at least the greater the benefit to longevity."What say you, tea drinkers?
