While caffeine is the major individual component of coffee, the study suggests that it may not be the primary driver of these health effects.

Instead, a range of naturally occurring compounds — many also found in fruits and vegetables — appear to play a larger role.

Goddammit. I know this is how science works but make up your mind? Coffee is bad! Eh, good! Bad now! Good again! You'll die! But you'll live longer too!

Wo i just cut coffee off completely, should I start drinking again?

I think this stuff just reinforces coffee drinkers' preference. If you quit coffee, stay off it. That's also why I put the key sentence in the body: "Instead, a range of naturally occurring compounds — many also found in fruits and vegetables — appear to play a larger role." You can get the same benefit by eating fruits and veggies.
