"higher coffee consumption is associated with a lower risk of death from any cause, especially circulatory and digestive diseases," said Dr. Mark Gart, lead author of the International Agency for Research on Cancer. Coffee may have beneficial effects on health. "

But Nat Sattar, a professor of metabolic medicine at the University of Glasgow, said: this study is good, but the conclusion does not make me start drinking coffee or recommend people to drink more coffee to reduce their risk of heart disease. It is not certain that there is a real causal relationship between coffee and protecting the heart.

Research shows that drinking one cup (350 milliliters) of coffee a day reduces the risk of death by 12% over 16 years, while three cups a day reduces the risk by 18%.

Coffee can reduce the risk of death from any cause and greatly reduce the risk of death from digestive diseases.

Professor David Spigelacht of Cambridge University calculates that drinking a cup of coffee a day increases the average life expectancy of a man by three months and that of a woman by a month, which is equivalent to about nine minutes a day for men and about three minutes for women.

Researchers at Imperial College London and the University of Southern California (USC) also said that the protective effect of coffee is biologically justified and contains antioxidants that resist insulin resistance, reduce inflammation and improve liver function, as well as health promoters, which play an important role in cancer prevention.

According to the British Coffee Association, Britons consume 55 million cups of coffee a day, and one to eight Britons patronize coffee shops every day.
