Why You Should Drink Coffee
By TC Luoma
Have 3-4 cups per day, regular or decaf, and you might live longer.
Coffee is a little mysterious in that we're not really sure how it does some of the things it does. One thing seems certain, though: the more you drink, the better off you are. In fact, the more you drink, the longer you live.
In a 2012 mortality study of 400,000 people printed in The New England Journal of Medicine, coffee drinkers had between 6 and 16 percent fewer deaths.
Likewise, in a Japanese study printed in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, coffee drinkers were 24 percent less likely to die during a 19-year follow-up.
The sweet spot seems to be three to four cups a day of regular or decaf, but one study involving six cups a day saw a 33 percent reduction in diabetes diagnoses.
Other maladies positively affected by coffee include liver cancers, fatty livers, alcoholic liver disease, heart disease, stroke, depression, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's.
