Interesting to me, that this is the first time I am hearing of lowered disease risk from regular coffee, which the study points out "has been confirmed in prospective cohort studies in many regions of the world".

The way I understood it, the study aims to correlate benefits with the "plant" contents of coffee. What would be interesting to me is to see more about the effect of the roast. The study touches on it in a couple of points ("Phenolic Phytochemicals in Coffee May Account for Health Effects" where a darker roast produces more phenolic components), but I could do with something more specifically targeting the roast differences.
