It seems like filtered coffee did not have a negative relationship in this study.

I wonder why? I am not super familiar with the specifics of instant coffee but gather that's it is basically very concentrated.

The paper mentioned that lead theory which seems plausible, but I'd be willing to bet this is a classic "correlation != causation".

There's some evidence of socioeconomic stressors influencing telemere length and while I can't find any citations for it I would assume there's a decently strong correlation between instant coffee and poverty.

This seems reasonable.

In my opinion, Real proper coffee isn't cheap, but so satisfyingly tasty, but instant coffee is so terrible that the only reason for drinking it is if you can't afford the good stuff.
