So they help people part with their money. Then, if I was an advertiser, I'd put my money elsewhere:
> For example, while Google users click on the first advertisement for search results an average of 8% of the time (80,000 clicks for every one million searches), Facebook's users click on advertisements an average of 0.04% of the time (400 clicks for every one million pages).
So? Advertisers pay per click or even sale, so they don't care the least how many people "saw" their ad before that. Some agencies even sell this as a "branding" side effect.
And good sleep, low stress, and proper hydration. Working out is ideal but hard to keep up which is why a lot of people quit the gym shortly after the new year resolution rush.
> The Human Genome Project (HGP) was one of the great feats of exploration in history - an inward voyage of discovery rather than an outward exploration of the planet or the cosmos; an international research effort to sequence and map all of the genes - together known as the genome - of members of our species, Homo sapiens. Completed in April 2003, the HGP gave us the ability, for the first time, to read nature's complete genetic blueprint for building a human being.
Causes: excessive alcohol consumption, smoking, no regular exercise, stress
I could be wrong but no exercise seems to be the main culprit based on what the disease actually is. Given that coffee increases your heart rate may suggest a causal link.
> And if you have high cholesterol and you don't want your coffee adding to the problem, you need to use a paper filter to trap the cafestol, a compound in coffee that raises LDL cholesterol levels.
I use paper filters because it makes cleanup a breeze. Interesting to know there is a health benefit.
> Caffeine is a drug and every drug has its downfall. So in my opinion I would need more evidence based medicine to prove that caffeine offers a benefit to decrease mortality.
Given how many industry health studies have been secretly funded by industry leaders, with a financial interest in finding health benefits, these "pro-coffee" results seem suspicious.

My perception is the opposite. It took decades for us to start seeing positive coffee studies. My belief is that drug companies actively campaign against health-promoting agents all the time, like coffee and aspirin.
In Brazil, for instance, every doctor will warn AGAINST caffeine, there's a huge anti-coffee sentiment in the medical community and I'm not sure how that came to be.
Ray Peat has been for many years the only voice urging us to reconsider these things.
