Experts say you'll live longer if you remove these extras from your coffee
A study by Tufts University found that drinking one to two cups of caffeinated black coffee daily is linked to a lower risk of death, particularly from cardiovascular disease.
The study, which analyzed data from 46,000 adults over 20 years, showed a 14 per cent lower mortality risk with black coffee or coffee with low sugar and saturated fat.
Drinking one cup of coffee daily was associated with a 16 per cent lower risk of death, which increased with two to three cups, but benefits leveled off after three cups.
The research supports previous findings from Tulane University, which indicated that morning coffee drinkers were less likely to die from cardiovascular disease.
Researchers suggest that the health benefits of coffee may be due to its bioactive compounds, but adding sugar and saturated fat may reduce these benefits, aligning with dietary guidelines.
