Coffee and red wine.
Every other day, both will make you live forever.
Every other other day, both will instantly kill you the moment you ingest any amount no matter how small.
Sometimes I get out my tinfoil hat and think these studies are trying to create more reasons for insurance companies to increase premiums and deny coverage.
Personally, red wine gives me a headache and coffee makes me anxious. So I don't care what these inconclusive studies say (positive or negative), for me personally both are bad (though I still do drink coffee). I think people should ignore these inconclusive studies and do self-experiments instead, until we have better data. Most people have a baseline level of being hyper-caffeinated and can't imagine life without it. Life could be better or it could be worse, but people don't care to experiment.
