A large-scale study from Tufts University in Massachusetts suggests that drinking one to three cups of caffeinated coffee a day is associated with lower overall mortality, especially from cardiovascular causes.
According to this research, analyzed in 2025 on sciencedayli.com, coffee could do more than just energize your morning routine: it could extend your life.
Experts, in turn, warn that the benefits diminish when sugar and saturated fats, such as cream in excess, are added.
According to Fang Fang Zhang, lead author of the study and professor at the Neely Family Chair at the Friedman School, the health benefits of coffee could be attributed to its bioactive compounds.
According to these analyses, consuming at least one cup a day was associated with a 16% reduction in the risk of all-cause mortality. With consumption of two to three cups a day, the ratio increased to 17%.
Consuming more than three cups per day was not associated with additional reductions, and the relationship between coffee and a lower risk of death from cardiovascular disease weakened when coffee consumption exceeded three cups per day.
The scientists observed no significant associations between coffee consumption and cancer mortality.
The study, published online in The Journal of Nutrition, included a nationally representative sample of 46,000 adults over 20 who completed valid 24-hour dietary recalls on day one.
Coffee consumption was categorized by type (caffeinated or non-caffeinated), sugar, and saturated fat content. Mortality results included all causes, cancer and cardiovascular diseases. (Source: Prensa Latina)
