Once you get to >4.5 cups the mortality went back up, but if you’re drinking that much coffee maybe you have other stuff going on in your life.
Also, since this is a UK study I think they mean UK cups which are about 6 US oz instead of US cups that are 8oz. US and UK ounces are also not quite the same. If only folks would use the metric system… but that is a rant for another time.
