More good news for coffee drinkers: there's a new study showing a reduced risk of premature death for those who enjoy a cup of joe. What's unusual about this study is that it looked at doctors. Researchers followed more than 200,000 doctors and nurses for up to 30 years, and found that the nonsmokers who drank a cup of coffee per day had a 6 percent lower risk of early death from a variety of causes including heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and neurological disease - but not cancer. The benefits increased with more coffee: an 8 percent decrease in risk for 1 to 3 daily cups and a 15 percent decrease for 3 to 5 cups, but more than 5 cups per day lowers the benefits to a 12 percent reduced risk of early death. Strangely enough, there wasn't a significant difference between those who drank decaf and those who drank regular coffee. So what was it that was so darn healthy? |
