Most useless kind of study. Participants were asked how much coffee they drank at the start of the study and never asked again. Thirteen years later their records got reviewed for mental health diagnoses. So there is no confirmation of what their coffee consumption actually was at the start, and no idea of how that consumption changed over the course of 13 years. Just bullshit.
