Coffee drinkers live longer and have lower risk of disease, studies find quoting : San Diego Union Tribune

Coffee drinkers live longer, according to two large-scale studies released Monday that addto extensive research indicating coffee consumption is associated with better health. The study led by Gunter likewise found a lower death risk from various ailments, including digestive, circulatory and liver disease. "These two publications extend the findings of previous studies indicating the apparent benefits of coffee drinking," he added. In previous studies, the great majority of those examined were white, meaning that environmental and lifestyle differences among ethnicities could have confounded the results. In 2001, Harvard researchers reported that drinking caffeinated coffee greatly reduced the risk of developing Parkinson's disease, cutting rates nearly in half.

One of the studies examined a little over 185,000 Americans, and found that whether people drank caffeinated or decaffeinated, coffee was associated with a lower risk of death due to heart disease, cancer, stroke, diabetes and kidney disease in African-Americans, Japanese Americans, Latinos and whites.

Coffee cuts risk of dying from stroke and heart disease, study suggests

"I wouldn't recommend people start rushing out drinking lots of coffee, but I think what it does suggests is drinking coffee certainly does you no harm," he said. The benefits were found to hold regardless of the country, although coffee drinking was not linked to a lower risk of death for all types of cancer. While previous studies have suggested coffee might have health benefits, the latest research involves large and diverse cohorts of participants. "If people enjoy their coffee they can relax and enjoy their coffee," he said, adding that people should not imagine that drinking extra coffee would militate against "other bad health behaviours". But, he added, based on the consistency of the results he would be surprised if coffee itself didn't play a role in reducing the risk of death.
