All of that may explain why coffee drinkers tend to live longer than those who don’t drink the brew. And what’s interesting is that the effect of coffee is similar for people who drank caffeinated or decaffeinated versions, suggesting that components within coffee other than caffeine are responsible for the health benefits that come with a hot cup of joe.
