Regular coffee drinkers had lower chance of dying in 7-year period

Even if their coffee is only lightly sweetened with sugar, people who drink up to 312 cups of coffee a day may have a better chance of living longer, suggests research in the Annals of Internal Medicine.

171,616 individuals, who had an average age of approximately 56 and were clear of cancer and heart disease when the study began, was followed for about seven decades in particular of their coffee intake and general health. They discovered that people who drank 112 to 312 cups of coffee on a daily basis, whether black or sweetened with a teaspoon of sugar, had an up to 30% lower risk of passing away in that time from any cause, including cancer and cardiovascular disease, than people who did not.

{Coffee has been found to reduce the risk of chronic liver disease by 21%.}

While there was no difference between the effects of instant, ground, or decaffeinated coffee, use of artificial sweeteners, the findings were deemed unconvincing. The most recent study did not demonstrate that participants' risk of mortality was reduced by coffee alone. Nevertheless, studies throughout the years have linked coffee drinking to a lower risk for a variety of illnesses, like Type 2 diabetes, Parkinson's disease, depression, and more.

The presence of antioxidant in coffee beans, which may help lessen internal inflammation and cell damage and protect against disease, is frequently cited by nutritionists as one of coffee's health benefits. Caffeinated coffee can also raise awareness and give you more energy. However, caffeine poses a risk to the unborn child and might interfere with sleep.
