Coffee, The Elixer of Life?

Even though morning intake was uniquely protective, higher coffee consumption—regardless of timing—was linked to a 14–19% lower all-cause mortality risk and an even greater 28–40% lower risk of dying from cardiovascular disease.

New study finds that people who drink ~3 cups of coffee (regular) daily have about half the risk of new onset cardiometabolic disease, defined as the coexistence of at least 2 of the following conditions: type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease, and stroke.

Coffee consumption decreases mortality in a non-linear fashion with peak reduction in mortality risk of 17% reached at 3-4 cups/day (PMID: 29167102)
High vs. low coffee consumption also reduced the incidence of CVD by ~15% (PMID: 24201300)
Coffee decreased the incidence of cancer overall by 18% but it varied by cancer type (PMID: 21406107)
Coffee also decreased risk of chronic liver disease by 15% per cup up to ~4 cups/d (PMID: 27111112)
Coffee reduces body fat & doesn't negatively effect insulin sensitivity (PMID: 35639365 & 31891374)
While coffee may increase blood glucose acutely it improves glycemia in the long term (PMID: 31193893)
Coffee also improves cognition & exercise performance (PMIDs: 34257387 & 26394649)

Caffeine may promote weight loss and reduce body fat.
Coffee drinkers have a lower risk of developing diabetes (regular and decaf) and Parkinson's daisease (only regular).
Coffee lowers risk of uterine and liver cancer (regular and decaf).

Drinking 2-3 cups of coffee (regular and decaf) a day is "linked with a longer lifespan and lower risk of cardiovascular disease compared with avoiding coffee".

This is according to research published by the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, Sep 27, 2022.

Coffee causes dehydration!

TRUTH: "Our data show that there were no significant differences across a wide range of haematological and urinary markers of hydration status between trials. These data suggest that coffee, when consumed in moderation by caffeine habituated males provides similar hydrating qualities to water."
