Study Found Lower Death Rate in Coffee Drinker

In modern life, drinking coffee has become a lifestyle. It is now playing an important role to our life.
Recently, a new study find that regular coffee drinking (up to 6 cups per day) is not associated with increased deaths in either men or women. In fact, both caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee consumption is associated with a somewhat smaller rate of death from heart disease.

Many people avoid coffee for it is intimately linked to caffeine content. Depending on the type of coffee and method of preparation, the caffeine content of a single serving can vary greatly. But Esther Lopez-Garcia, PhD, the study’s lead author said that, coffee consumption was not associated with a higher risk of mortality in middle-aged men and women. The possibility of a modest benefit of coffee consumption on heart disease, cancer, and other causes of death needs to be further investigated.
