Coffee has shockingly large mortality decreasing effects across multiplehighquality studies. Only problem is I don’t really like coffee, don’t want caffeine, don’t want to spend money or time on this, and dislike warm beverages in general. Is this solvable? Yes. Instant decaf coffee shows the same mortality benefits and 2+ servings of it dissolves in 1oz of cold water, to which can be added milk or milk-substitute. Total cost per serving 7 cents + milk I would have drank anyway. And since it requires no heating or other prep there is minimal time investment.
Funny tangential discovery: there is some other substance in coffee that is highly addictive besides caffeine (decaf has less caffeine than even green tea, so I don’t think it’s that) because despite the taste being so-so I have never forgotten this habit the way I do with so many others.
