Here's yet another compelling reason to savor your morning coffee: A landmark study shows coffee drinkers tend to enjoy longer lives. Regular consumption is linked to reduced mortality from cardiovascular disease, cancer, stroke, diabetes, respiratory issues, and kidney disease. Those drinking one cup daily were 12% less likely to die than non-drinkers, with even greater benefits—18% lower risk—for 2-3 cups a day. Strikingly, these advantages held for both regular and decaf coffee, pointing beyond caffeine. This ongoing research, tracking over 215,000 diverse participants, stands as the most ethnically varied analysis of lifestyle factors tied to cancer risk.
