A team from the University of Coimbra in Portugal looked at 85 previous studies involving participants across Europe, the Americas, Australia, and Asia, analyzing coffee's relationship to mortality rates and health indicators.
Taken as a whole, their analysis suggests that drinking around three cups of coffee a day is linked with an additional 1.84 years of lifespan in the average person, with regular consumption also being associated with increased healthspan (time spent living free from serious disease).
"Regular coffee consumption seems associated with a preservation of muscular, cardiovascular, mental and immune system functions," write the researchers in their published paper, "and seems inversely associated with the incidence of the most frequent diseases affecting the elderly such as cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, stroke, some cancers, diabetes, dementia, major depression, or frailty."
Premise 1. Eyewitness testimony is notoriously unreliable.
Premise 2. The best evidence for the Book of Mormon is eyewitness testimony.
Conclusion. Therefore, the best evidence for the Book of Mormon is notoriously unreliable.
1.84 additional years of CWK. Ditch the plain water, Kish . Ugh, oh. Just realized I’d have to start drinking it to be around the additional 1.84 years to listen to CWK. Coffee— Bleh.

“the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.” 1 John 1:7 ESV
So the LDS corp is missing out on 1.84 years of tithing per member by sticking to its virtue signaling ban on coffee. Now that is a 'word of wisdom.'

Maybe not worth it?
I need to make sure I get my third cup in. I usually only have two.
Once science informed Mormons that hot drinks which warm the belly were safe, scribes should not have foolishly penciled in coffee and tea. Think how many of the Saints could have been spared dysentery crossing the plain if they had boiled up some tea or coffee. They did not deserve to suffer for the sake of arrogant stupidity.
Green tea is the single healthiest drink around. Vietnamese iced coffee would appeal to the Mormon sweet tooth.
