New research from Tufts University indicates that consuming one to two cups of black coffee daily can reduce the risk of death by 14%. However, adding milk, sugar, or saturated fats to coffee may negate these benefits, the study warns.
The study, published in The Journal of Nutrition, utilized data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey covering 1999 to 2018. Researchers analyzed responses from over 46,000 adults, examining coffee habits and mortality risks, including deaths from cancer and cardiovascular diseases.
The research emphasizes that while black coffee offers significant health advantages, exceeding three cups daily does not provide further benefits. The study also highlights the importance of understanding how coffee additives impact health, underscoring the potential reduction in mortality benefits when additional sugars and fats are involved.
