A new study has found that people who drink up to six cup of coffee every day; have lower death rate than those don’t. Both caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee consumption is associated with a somewhat smaller rate of death from heart disease.

“Coffee consumption has been linked to various beneficial and detrimental health effects, but data on its relation with death were lacking,” says Esther Lopez-Garcia, PhD, the study’s lead author. “Coffee consumption was not associated with a higher risk of mortality in middle-aged men and women. The possibility of a modest benefit of coffee consumption on heart disease, cancer, and other causes of death needs to be further investigated.”

The study was divided in two parts; the first part included 84,214 “women” participants, and 41,736 men participants. They concluded women consuming two to three cups of caffeinated coffee per day had a 25 percent lower risk of death from heart disease compared with non-consumers during the follow-up period (which lasted from 1980 to 2004). For men, this level of consumption was associated with neither a higher nor a lower risk of death during the follow-up period (which lasted from 1986 to 2004 and involved 41,736 men).

Moreover, researchers have also found out that there is no association between coffee drinking and cancer deaths.
