(NEWSCHANNEL 3) - Good news this morning for coffee lovers!

Two new studies show drinking more coffee could lead to a longer life!

The findings have resurfaced a centuries-old conversation on coffee's health effects.

One found increasing coffee consumption could significantly lower a person's risk of early death.

The second study focused on non-white populations finding that coffee has the same health benefits across multiple races.

Researchers say people who drank two to four cups a day had an 18-percent lower risk of death compared with people who did not drink coffee.
