Grab Your Morning Coffee Right Away! New Studies Show Lower Death Risk
News 18For many of us, a freshly brewed cup of coffee is the driving factor to wake up in the morning and fight off the grogginess. Now, a new study has found that people who drank moderate amounts of coffee were less likely to die in a 7-year follow-up period. Researchers from China’s Southern Medical University in Guangzhou used data from the U.K Biobank study health behaviour questionnaire to evaluate all-cause and cause-specific mortality in people consuming sugar-sweetened, artificially sweetened, and unsweetened coffee. During the 7-year follow-up period, the authors found that the participants who drank unsweetened coffee were 16-21% less likely to die than those who did not drink coffee at all. The research revealed that participants who drank 1.5 to 3.5 cups of coffee using sugar as the sweetener were 29-31% less likely to die than those participants who did not drink coffee.
