A recent investigation from Flinders University sheds new light on how two widely consumed drinks, coffee and tea, could play a role in bone health for women later in life. The study, published in the journal Nutrients, monitored nearly 10,000 women aged 65 and older for ten years to examine whether regularly drinking coffee or tea was connected to changes in bone mineral density (BMD). BMD is a central marker used to assess osteoporosis risk.

Looking for a warm steaming mug to take the chill off? There's nothing better than cupping your hands around a warm mug of hot chocolate or a vanilla chai latte. The best hot drinks are warming without being too heavy, flavorful but not overly sweet, and easy enough to make on a regular basis. I've been creating drink recipes for over a decade,

Cecafé, Brazil's coffee exporters council, called the tariff hike "a complete loss of competitiveness." "The tariff reversal comes after months of intense work representing the interests of Brazilian coffee. It is a historic victory for the entire coffee agribusiness production chain," the council said in a statement. Brazil has long been a key supplier of beef and coffee to the United States.

But too much coffee can have a negative effect because it "can speed up the heart, cause increased heart rate, cause contraction of the blood vessels and increased blood pressure, and certainly if you're prone to rhythm disturbances of the heart, the caffeine at high doses can cause that," Tadwalkar said. Caffeine is considered safe until 300 to 400 milligrams, and after that, it can have a cascade of negative effects.

Everyone loves that time of year when you can finally break out the soft sweaters from your closet and start making your favorite cozy slow cooker recipes. Fall is a season filled with so many wonderful traditions, holidays, and activities that are solely reserved for this time of year. One thing that many people love to do to get into the season is to watch their favorite fall movies and TV shows that help to immerse them in that seasonal vibe.

I was a baby barista and became the store coffee master, which means I got to wear a black apron instead of a green one,

Coffee and tea both come with potential health benefits, but sweeteners, creamers, whipped cream and other add-ons can lead to excess added sugar, fat and calories. With well over half of Americans drinking coffee every day, the way it is prepared matters. Here are strategies to navigate the top ingredient concerns when preparing or ordering your favorite hot (or iced) drink.

If you're at home, just brew some coffee and pour as much friggin' creamer in as you want! But, if you're in public, options vary. Some coffee shops will have creamer; others will be, like, "We just have half-and-half," and that is insane. It is not the same. When in doubt, bring your on-the-go creamer and do not allow anyone to shame you. You are an adult and you know what you like.

I was hooked on joe by 12 th grade. I got to drive my stepdad's '66 Ranchero to school that year (liberation!) and each morning scrambled out the front door, juggling a steamy mug of black brew, a stack of books, and escaping papers. In college, late nights found me clicking my electric Corona typewriter, a Marlboro cigarette in an ashtray, and a double-fist-sized mocha, full then empty. I could drink another one an hour before bed and still fall asleep.

I used to travel with a lot of bags because I had just so many things for my profession,

Milk choice has come a long way since the olden times of "third place" cafes, when maybe the most progressive shop in the neighborhood would carry soy milk alongside the gallon jugs of fully hormonized cow's milk. Despite the subsequent boom in alternative milks, relatively little academic research has detailed the sensory and chemical differences in alt milk types when combined with coffee.

Since starting First Light, former colleagues have reached out with connections to coffee-growing communities, and I'm excited to build on that,

A review of scientific literature by a team in South Korea reinforces the assumption that drinking coffee significantly reduces the risk of developing type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Published June 10 in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences, the study specifically explored how bioactive compounds found in coffee may diminish diabetes risk. The research team from Pukyong National University and Kyungpook National University in South Korea looked at scores of cohort studies conducted over the past several decades to determine if and how these chemical compounds - and not merely lifestyle factors, such as exercise - may affect diabetes incidence.

A low-effort dessert inspired by cafe de olla, which is a drink I consumed daily while on holiday in Oaxaca, Mexico. It's a black coffee gently spiced with cinnamon and cloves, and sweetened with piloncillo (an unrefined sugar). Here, I've turned it into something refreshing for summer, using dark brown sugar instead, not least because it's easier to find. I can never resist a post-dinner coffee, and this scratches both that caffeine and sugar itch.
