I mean, I complain about headlines, but when you've got 2 studies, months apart, appearing to say the exact opposite thing what are lay people meant to think?
Perhaps because one focused on CVD, while other looked at overall mortality. CVD and mortality data dont always end up exactly same. Still, you're right the endless nutr epi research confuses most of public. In reality, we'll prob never have a clear answer on coffee and health.
You're right it's entirely possible the difference was due to the endpoints, but the conclusions are still amazingly contradictory
