A new study published in The Journal of Nutrition has found that drinking black coffee every day may lower the risk of death from any cause. Researchers analyzed data from over 46,000 Americans between 1999 and 2018 and found that those who drank one cup of black coffee per day had a 16% lower risk of mortality.
The study also found that drinking more coffee was associated with an even lower risk of death, but only for caffeinated coffee. Adding sugar or cream to the coffee negated any potential health benefits.
The results are in line with previous studies that have shown a link between moderate coffee consumption and a reduced risk of mortality. However, it’s essential to note that correlation does not necessarily imply causation.
Previous research has found similar associations, including:
– A 2018 study that suggested drinking coffee was associated with a 10-15% lower likelihood of all-cause mortality.
– A UK-based study of over 171,000 people found a 30% reduced chance of dying from any cause among those who drank between 1.5 and 3.5 cups of coffee daily.
– A Harvard study published last year that found daily coffee consumption was linked to improved cognitive function and overall health in women aged 70 and above.
The findings offer encouraging news for coffee lovers, but it’s essential to keep in mind that individual results may vary, and more research is needed to confirm these findings.
