The consumption of about three cups of coffee a day can have beneficial effects for health since it is associated with a lower risk of death, according to two studies published in the journal 'Annals of Internal Medicine'. Coffee, which is estimated to consume around 2,250 million cups a day worldwide, contains substances that can interact with the body such as caffeine, diterpenes and antioxidants, the amount of which can vary depending on how it is prepared. The first study, led by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) and Imperial College London, examined more than half a million people in 10 countries in Europe. Those who drank about three cups a day tended to live longer than those who did not drink coffee, the study reported. "We found that a higher consumption of coffee was associated with a lower risk of death from any cause and specifically by circulatory and digestive diseases," said lead author Marc Gunter of IARC. Gunter said that due to the limitations of the research they are not "in a position to recommend people to drink more or less coffee," although the results "suggest that moderate consumption - three cups a day - is not harmful to health and that incorporating coffee into the diet could have beneficial effects. " The data correspond to the largest study conducted on the effects of coffee in the European population, where both consumption and preparation vary - from the Italian express to the con leche in the United Kingdom. The scientists studied the data, making appropriate adjustments with factors such as diet or smoking, and concluded that the group that consumed more coffee had a lower risk of death, compared to those who did not. However, the issue of with or without caffeine is not easy to differentiate, since they could not exclude that decaffeinated drinkers had consumed coffee with caffeine at different periods of their lives. In a sample of 14,000 people, metabolic biomarkers were analyzed, which indicated that coffee growers "may have, in general, healthier livers and better glucose control." The other investigation The second study, which included more than 180,000 participants from diverse ethnic backgrounds in the United States, found advantages for longevity regardless of whether the coffee was caffeinated or decaffeinated. Coffee drinkers had a lower risk of death from heart disease, cancer, stroke, diabetes, and respiratory and kidney diseases. Those who drank one cup a day were 12 percent less likely to die compared to those who did not drink coffee. Those who drank two or three cups a day reduced the risk of death by 18 percent. "We can not say that drinking coffee will prolong your life, but we see an association," said lead author Veronica Setiawan, a professor of preventive medicine at the Keck School of Medicine at the University of Southern California. If you like to drink coffee, Ibebe! If you are not a coffee drinker, then you have to consider if you should start Experts cautioned, however, that American and European studies, published in the 'Annals of Internal Medicine', did not show that coffee was actually the reason why many drinkers seemed to have longer lives. On the contrary, the investigations were of an observational nature, which means that they showed an association between coffee consumption and a propensity towards longevity, but they failed to prove cause and effect.
