Drinking coffee daily -- even with sugar -- is linked to a lower risk of death abc15
People who drank a moderate amount of coffee every day, either plain or sweetened with around a teaspoon of sugar, were about 30% less likely to die from any cause during a seven-year period compared with non-coffee drinkers, according to findings from the U.K. Biobank cohort, an ongoing study of health information in the United Kingdom.
"The authors defined moderate levels of coffee drinking as drinking one and a half to three and a half cups of coffee," she noted."They found that drinking moderate levels of coffee regularly was associated with a lower risk of dying from any cause, dying from cancer, and dying from heart disease." The new research looked at the health effects of the popular beverage with a new twist, focusing on whether adding real or artificial sugar counteracted coffee's potential health benefits.
About 76% of participants were coffee drinkers. Most people drank unsweetened coffee; 14.3% took sugar in their coffee and 6.1% used artificial sweeteners. Associations were similar when the researchers focused just on cancer deaths or cardiovascular deaths.
