People in the U.K. who had more than one daily cup of coffee had a lower mortality risk than non-coffee drinkers, a study found.

A 2015 review found that drinking one to four cups a day was associated with an increased risk of blood clots, but the opposite was true among people who drank five or more cups a day. The latest addition to that body of research was published Monday in the Annals of Internal Medicine. The study looked at around 120,000 people in the U.K. who regularly drank unsweetened or sugar-sweetened coffee over seven years. The opposite might be true: Years of research suggests that drinking coffee is linked with a lower risk of death. A review last year, meanwhile, found that boiled coffee was correlated with increased levels of "bad" cholesterol, while filtered coffee didn’t have the same effect. Another analysis suggested that consuming three to four daily cups lowered the risk of dying from heart disease compared to no coffee at all. The same research found that coffee drinking was associated with a decreased risk of Parkinson’s disease, chronic kidney disease, Type 2 diabetes and certain cancers.

Moderate coffee drinkers who added one teaspoon of sugar per cup were 29% to 31% less likely to die than those who did not, researchers found.

What's a coffee drinker to make of the findings? Researchers led by Dr. Chen Mao at Southern Medical University in Guangzhou, China, analyzed data collected on participants in the U.K. Biobank, a large-scale database with genetic and health information of U.K. participants. Sweetened coffee drinkers among the 171,616 United Kingdom participants in the study added only one teaspoon of sugar, on average, researchers said.

Mounting evidence shows caffeine lovers who drink coffee daily are less likely to die early compared to those who don't, a new study suggests.

A cup of joe — or a few — a day has been linked to a healthier liver and a lowered risk of heart failure. Researchers studied 171,616 participants with an average age of 55.6 years, looking at people who drank unsweetened, sugar-sweetened and artificially sweetened coffee.

A new study backs existing evidence that daily coffee drinking is good for your health, and indicates that adding a little sugar may not be harmful.

In extreme cases, concentrated caffeine can cause serious issues starting at about 1,200 milligrams — although you'd have to drink more than 12 cups of coffee for that to happen. The beverage is also tied to a lower risk of depression and suicide. However, the evidence doesn't necessarily endorse coffee drinks with high sugar concentrations as healthy, according to an accompanying editorial by Dr. Christina Wee, an associate professor of medicine at Harvard, on Southern Medical University's study.

Drinking a few cups of coffee a day even with sugar is linked to a lower risk of death, new research shows.

"They found that drinking moderate levels of coffee regularly was associated with a lower risk of dying from any cause, dying from cancer, and dying from heart disease." "The average dose of added sugar per cup of sweetened coffee was only a little over a teaspoon, or about 4 grams," she pointed out. Overall, people who drank any amount of unsweetened coffee were less likely to die from any cause during the follow-up period than people who didn't drink coffee, the researchers found.

"The authors defined moderate levels of coffee drinking as drinking one and a half to three and a half cups of coffee," she noted.

Coffee drinkers are less likely to die compared to non-coffee drinkers, according to a new study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine.

Participants, who drank 1.5 to 3.5 daily cups of coffee sweetened with an average of 1 teaspoon of sugar per cup, were 29 to 31 percent less likely to die than non-coffee drinkers, according to the study. During the 7-year follow-up period, the researchers found those who drank any amount of unsweetened coffee, were 16 to 21 percent less likely to die than the non-coffee drinkers. The study authors said the results were not as clear for those who used artificial sweeteners in their coffee.
