In a study conducted over the course of sixteen years (yes, you read that right), a group of researchers set out to observe the association of coffee consumption with death risk. What they found might make your day: study participants who drank one cup of coffee per day were 12% less likely to die compared with those who didn’t drink coffee, and those who drank three cups per day actually say an 18% decrease in death risk.
From the lead author of the study and associate professor of preventative medicine at the Keck School of Medicine at USC, Veronica W. Setiawan:
“We cannot say drinking coffee will prolong your life, but we see an association….Coffee contains a lot of antioxidants and phenolic compounds that play an important role in cancer prevention. Although this study does not show causation or point to what chemicals in coffee may have this ‘elicit effect,’ it is clear that coffee can be incorporated into a healthy diet and lifestyle.”
If you’re afraid of the effects of caffeine, fear not! Decaf coffee proved to have the same impact on study participants as the real thing.
