A recent coffee related study suggests that drinking the beverage regularly could lower the risk of death from a number of causes, including heart disease and diabetes.
To reach their findings, Dr. Erikka Loftfield and her team analyzed the self-reported coffee drinking habits and health of 90,317 adults who joined the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal and Ovarian Cancer Screening Trial between 1998-2001.
Participants were free of cancer and had no history of cardiovascular disease at baseline.
During an average 10 years of follow-up, 8,718 deaths occurred.
Compared with individuals who did not drink coffee, those who consumed four to five cups daily had the lowest risk of death from various causes, including diabetes, heart disease, respiratory diseases, influenza and suicide.
