While it is
true that coffee drinking may prevent liver cancer and delay the
onset of type 2 diabetes, coffee raises inflammatory markers (e.g
CRP) and homocysteine.

The first two are killers. The latter two are physiologic measures
and there is evidence that rasing one of them (homocysteine with B
vitamins) makes risks worse.

Acute cardiac events and osteoporosis are killers as well. You skipped them.

Are people who drink coffee more likely to die than those who don't? Or is
it just that they are more likely to die in time periods that follow coffee
drinking? The latter doesn't seem to me to matter, and that's the way I took
the word "acute" here.

Osteoporosis *can* kill, especially if untreated, but I wouldn't class it
with the clear killers here.
