A massive new study of 40,725 people says this is what happens when you drink coffee every morning

"Here's a sad story: The other day, my wife and I woke up and realized we were out of coffee. Honestly, if you want to throw a wrench into the Murphy household and hamper our routine, take away the coffee. Anyway, the story ends much better; I threw on a baseball hat and drove to the supermarket down the road."

"In short, they found something remarkable about when people drink their coffee. Drink it in the morning The study, supported by the U.S. National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, was published in January in the European Heart Journal. It determined that people who drink coffee primarily in the morning had significantly lower mortality rates than people who either don't drink coffee at all-or who drink it throughout the entire day."

A Tulane-led analysis of 40,725 Americans over nearly a decade found that primary morning coffee consumption correlated with lower mortality. Morning coffee drinkers had 16% lower all-cause mortality and 31% lower cardiovascular mortality compared with non-coffee drinkers. Drinking coffee throughout the day showed no significant mortality benefit. The study used NHANES data (1999–2018) and was supported by the U.S. National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute and published in the European Heart Journal. Researchers examined whether caffeine timing affects heart health.
