One of the more important studies I’ve posted in a while…coffee is super.
The greatest reduction in all-cause mortality was found for 3.5 cups/day, 2.5 cups/day for cardiovascular disease, and 2 cups/day for cancer mortality.
The relationship between all-cause mortality and coffee consumption was found irrespective of age, overweight status, alcohol, smoking and caffeine status.
Several potential mechanisms why are highlighted. A mechanism may include reduced oxidative stress and inflammation due to antioxidant components in coffee.
