One thing about the coffee, though: What is in it that is good for you? Is it the caffeine? Or something else. And, if it's the caffeine, would the caffeine found in "de-caf" coffee be enough to have the beneficial effects? I ask this question because coffee (along with chocolate) is for me one of the four basic food groups.

I'm a java junkie too. They didn't really go into the details of why coffee is good for you, they just said:

..joe-fiends are also relatively hedonistic (they drink more booze, smoke more cigarettes and exercise less) scientists found they actually lived slightly longer than people who didn’t slam down a few cups of coffee each day.

..maybe hedonism is a healthy thing?

Seriously, in my very unofficial research on longevity (talking to friends of my grandmother who were 90+), people who live longer tended to drink coffee, drink alcohol and smoke cigarettes. They did things that are now considered 'bad', but they did them in moderation.
