Frequent Coffee Drinkers Were Less Likely To Die Over A 7 Year Period

For about seven years, the researchers tracked the coffee consumption and health of 171,616 participants, who were on average nearly 56 years old and free of cancer and cardiovascular disease when the study began. They found that those who regularly drank 1½ to 3½ cups of coffee a day, either plain or sweetened with about a teaspoon of sugar, were up to 30% less likely to die in that time period from any cause, including cancer and cardiovascular disease . than those who did not drink coffee.
