Coffee May Help You Live Longer, but Skip the Extra Sugar
UNITED STATES, JUN 17 – Tufts researchers found drinking one to three cups of black coffee or low-sugar, low-fat coffee cuts death risk by 14-17%, but benefits vanish with added sugar or cream.
- Researchers at Tufts University published an observational study linking coffee consumption to lower mortality risk using data from over 46,000 U.S. adults surveyed between 1999 and 2018.
- The study examined how adding sugar and saturated fat to coffee impacts its health effects and found these additives may reduce coffee's mortality benefits.
- Drinking one to three cups daily of black coffee or coffee with minimal added sugar and saturated fat was linked to a 14% to 17% lower risk of death from any cause, while more than three cups or higher additives diminished benefits.
- Lead author Bingjie Zhou noted that while few investigations have explored how ingredients added to coffee might influence the relationship between coffee drinking and risk of death, their research is one of the earliest to measure the amounts of sweeteners and saturated fats included.
- These results suggest drinking coffee closer to traditional black, unsweetened forms may promote longevity while minimizing sugar and saturated fat supports metabolic health and energy balance.
