Coffee drinkers have a lower risk of early death - a study A British study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine shows that people who drink coffee, with or without sugar, have a lower risk of premature death. However, experts say, the results may be due to the fact that coffee drinkers are more affluent..

The study is based on data from over 171,000 participants in the UK BioBank, a long-term study that has collected data on the genetic, lifestyle and health information of over 500,000 people since 2006, including details on participants' coffee drinking habits.. Over seven years, those who drank 2.5 to 4.5 cups of the drink a day without sugar had a 29% lower risk of death than those who didn't..

Previous research has shown that the drink may have health benefits, and drinking coffee is associated with a lower risk of diseases ranging from chronic liver disease to certain types of cancer and even dementia.. In addition, researchers observed a reduced risk of death among participants who drank 1.5 to 3.5 cups of sugar-sweetened coffee per day.. The trend was less clear for people who consumed artificial sweeteners.

However, Navid Satar, professor of metabolic medicine at the University of Glasgow, who was not involved in the study, warns that although the results are intriguing, they are not unambiguous..

“The observational nature of this new study means that the conclusions are far from conclusive,” Satar said, adding: “This is because people who drink coffee are, in general, wealthier and lead healthier lives than those who don’t drink.”.

The professor advises to drink coffee and tea, preferably without sugar, and to maintain health in other ways - "
