US EditionBlack Coffee Is Linked to Lower Risk of Death – So Hold the Cream and Sugar
- Researchers from Tufts University analyzed coffee consumption and mortality among 46,000 adults aged 20 and older in the US from 1999 to 2018.
- They sought to measure the amounts of sweeteners and saturated fats incorporated into coffee and to evaluate how these additions influence the relationship between coffee intake and mortality risk.
- The study showed that drinking black coffee or coffee with minimal amounts of sugar and saturated fat was linked to a 14% reduction in the risk of death from any cause, whereas this protective effect was not seen when higher levels of these additives were included.
- Consuming between one and two cups of caffeinated coffee each day was associated with a 14% reduction in overall mortality risk, which increased to 17% for those drinking two to three cups daily; however, drinking more than three cups did not provide additional mortality benefits, according to Fang Fang Zhang.
- The results indicate that coffee’s health advantages are linked to its bioactive components, but these positive effects can be diminished when sugar and saturated fat are added, emphasizing the value of consuming coffee with little to no additives.
