People who consumed 200 to 300 milligrams of caffeine a day were less likely to develop coronary heart disease, type 2 diabetes or stroke.
There are certain studies that coffee lovers, well, love.
This is one of them: Drinking several cups of caffeinated coffee or tea a day may protect against Type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease and stroke.
The findings, published Tuesday in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, add to existing research suggesting that daily coffee drinkers have better heart health than nondrinkers — provided they don’t drink too much caffeine.
I wonder how much of this is correlation vs causation. For instance, if you can afford a couple cups of coffee a day (time and money) perhaps you’re just more well off in general. Coffee might be a bad example in this case because it’s pretty low cost (wines a better example), but my point remains.
Coffee isn’t expensive or time consuming. I pay about $7 for 12oz of ground coffee, and it lasts for at least a couple weeks’ worth of brewing an 8-cup pot of fresh coffee every morning.
I suppose if you pay someone else to make your coffee it would cost more, but that would be a massive waste of money to do on a regular basis.
Funded by the coffee industry, probably
Serious though, probably worth investigation of funding sources.
I sometimes have 5 or 6 black coffees on a work day…if I’m reading this right, I’m basically invincible.
Isn’t that the same for wine?
Hmm… Who’s gonna invent coffee wine, though? One part over-caffeinated, one part decent buzz == science! 🤘🏽
In the US you can’t sell that because the government hates freedom

From what I’ve seen, the benefits are being debated, seems no one can get a definitive answer. Source
