Coffee Drinking May Prolong Life

I recently read a very informative article article entitled, "Coffee Drinking May Prolong Life" by Madeline Ellis. Ellis informs us of a new study done by Autonoma University in Madrid, Spain, which suggests that, "drinking coffee in moderate amounts, up to six cups a day, may actually reduce the risks of death in general, and may help to combat heart disease, especially in women."
I've posted the article below in its entirety:

The aroma….the taste….the caffeine lift! No wonder millions of people, both young and old, around the world love nothing better than sitting down to a good cup of coffee. But as with many other things we enjoy in our everyday life, we often question whether it is good for us. Over the years there have been thousands of studies done on the health effects of coffee, yielding no clear consensus. However, the latest and one of the largest studies ever conducted suggests that drinking coffee in moderate amounts, up to six cups a day, may actually reduce the risks of death in general, and may help to combat heart disease, especially in women.
