New study finds coffee is good for you, but there's a catch

"Drinking a cup of coffee each day has been linked to a 16% lower risk of death from any cause, primarily observed without added cream and sugar."

"The benefits of coffee consumption were maximized at two to three cups per day, showing a 17% lower risk of mortality. More than three cups did not provide additional health advantages."

Recent research from Tufts University indicates that consuming coffee can significantly lower mortality rates, with one cup daily linked to a 16% reduction in risk from any cause. Drinking two to three cups enhances this benefit, yielding a 17% lower risk. However, the health benefits substantially diminish when cream and sugar are added, equating those coffee drinkers' mortality rates to non-coffee drinkers. This suggests that the bioactive compounds in coffee contribute to its health advantages, while sugar and saturated fats may negate these benefits.
