A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

It’s good, it’s bad, it’s good, it’s bad, it’s…
Fuck it, life is better with coffee, and fruit.
Nothing is 100% good or 100% bad. Even oxygen has problems that are caused in the body.
Coffee, like many things, can cause some health issues, but also some health benefits.
The problem is that the headlines only talk about this specific effect studied. When you get down the details, it's a lot less clear cut then "drink coffee = live longer" or "drink coffee = die younger"
This is why I hate science reporting in the media.
life is better with coffee
enjoy while you can, because climate change is ruining this too
10 bucks says the studies were paid for by coffee and fruit industries.
Yeah I came here to say 'study sponsored by Starbucks'
Which I'd bet 90% of the drinks they sell to people are less than a splash of coffee with 15 pumps of caramel and milk. It's like a splash of coffee for color like coke in a Long Island Iced tea.
I drink coffee and eat fruit every morning. I’ll let yall know if I die early on account of it!
Halve, not have
Must be the coffee and fruit shutting my brain down already. I didn’t even catch that. Now I gotta live longer accidentally doing the right thing!
The funny thing is that in French, those 2 words are spelled and said exactly the same way.
gotta add 2 shots of whiskey and 3 cigs to complete that breakfast.
Based on my fruit and coffintake, I’m living forever. Ignore the alcohol.
I don't know if that's a typo or not. But I like it.
Can anyone find the study?
It seems this story is based on an unpublished paper abstract presented at European Congress on Obesity 2026 titled "Higher Dietary Polyphenol Intake Is Associated with a Lower Risk of Short Telomeres: Evidence from the SUN Cohort Study".
You can see it in the conference program.

And here is another reference.
As far as I can tell it's not yet published. Why on earth would this be reported if it hasn't made it through the publishing process? Lol
Here is a reaction to the findings that were presented at the conference mentioned in the op article.
because it makes for good click bait
Too bad coffee tastes like trash to this guy.
Guess I'll die.
I do often eat some fruit, though.
I'd rather take years off my life than having to suffer every day by drinking coffee.
Yep, you'll die if you're not addicted to caffeine
How about substituting fruit with a cigarette?
I think that's called a Continental Breakfast.
Don't mind if I do
What about a strawberry flavored monster??? Is that the same or...?
What about 2-3 STOK Cappuccino 48oz bottles a day, and a Bang to help me calm down after?
