Long-term study links coffee to healthier ageing
Most people who drink coffee appreciate the quick jolt of energy it provides. But in a new study, presented recently at the annual meeting of the American Society for Nutrition, scientists have found that coffee may offer a much longer-term health benefit. The study has not been peer-reviewed or published, but it was rigorous and included a large number of women who were followed for many years. It also adds to a large body of evidence linking coffee to longer lives and various health advantages, including lower risks of certain chronic diseases – though all of these studies had limitations, including that they were observational and could not prove cause and effect. Still, the results linking coffee to healthier ageing were not surprising, said Fang Fang Zhang, a professor of nutritional epidemiology who was not involved with the study. 'The data is quite consistent that coffee consumption is actually beneficial,' she said. In the study, researchers followed more than 47,000 female nurses for several decades beginning in the 1970s. Every few years, the women answered detailed questions about their diets, including how much coffee, tea and cola (such as Coca-Cola or Pepsi ) they typically drank. Then the scientists looked at how many of the women were still alive and met their definition of 'healthy ageing' in 2016. READ MORE Just over 3,700 women met that definition: They were 70 or older, reported good physical and mental health, with no cognitive impairment or memory problems. Additionally, they were free of 11 chronic diseases including cancer, Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, kidney failure, Parkinson's disease and multiple sclerosis. The researchers found a correlation between how much caffeine the women typically drank (which was mostly from coffee) when they were between 45 and 60 years old and their likelihood of healthy ageing. After adjusting for other factors that could affect ageing, such as their overall diet, how much they exercised and whether they smoked, those who consumed the most caffeine (equivalent to nearly seven 237ml cups of coffee per day) had odds of healthy ageing that were 13 per cent higher than those who consumed the least caffeine (equivalent to less than one cup per day). Studies have found links between regular (not decaffeinated) coffee and a reduced risk of Parkinson's disease Drinking tea or decaffeinated coffee was not associated with healthy ageing, the researchers found. That may be because the study participants generally consumed less tea and decaffeinated coffee overall, so perhaps there were fewer chances for the researchers to find benefits linked to them, said Sara Mahdavi, an adjunct professor of nutritional sciences at the University of Toronto who led the study. Tea and decaf coffee also have less caffeine, and tea has different plant compounds from regular coffee, so that may explain the results, too, she added. Drinking cola, another potential source of caffeine, was associated with significantly decreased odds of healthy ageing. Dr Mahdavi cautioned that while drinking up to seven small cups of coffee per day was associated with healthy ageing in her study, that doesn't necessarily mean that drinking that much will benefit everyone, or that it is healthy to do so. Research in other groups of people suggests that the health benefits of coffee may plateau or even dip when they drink more than three to four cups per day. Many other studies have linked drinking coffee regularly to a lower risk of early death. In a study of more than 46,000 adults published in May, Dr Zhang and her colleagues found that those who consumed one to three cups of coffee per day were about 15 per cent less likely to die within the next nine to 11 years than those who didn't drink coffee. That benefit disappeared, though, for people who said they typically added more than about a half-teaspoon of sugar to their coffee and for people who added more than 1 gram of saturated fat (equivalent to about one tablespoon of half-and-half or 3.5 tablespoons of whole milk) per cup of coffee. Research has also suggested that people who drink coffee regularly have lower risks of heart disease, Type 2 diabetes, Parkinson's disease, liver disease, osteoporosis and some types of cancer. These kinds of studies can't prove cause and effect, said Aladdin Shadyab, an associate professor of public health and medicine. But because the benefits associated with coffee have been so consistent, it's unlikely that they are entirely explained by other aspects of a person's life, Dr Zhang said. If anything, drinking coffee is often associated with unhealthy habits, such as smoking and less exercise. The fact that you see benefits after accounting for these differences means that coffee is probably helping, Dr Zhang said. Researchers aren't entirely sure why coffee may be beneficial. 'It's a bit of a mystery,' said Marilyn Cornelis, an associate professor of preventive medicine. Studies of mice have found that caffeine may improve memory and protect brain cells from damage. And human studies have found links between regular (not decaffeinated) coffee and a reduced risk of Parkinson's disease. Both regular and decaf coffee contain hundreds of chemical compounds, including many that may lower inflammation and prevent cell damage, Dr Mahdavi said.

Coffee Opens in new window ] While the new study didn't find a benefit associated with decaf coffee, other research has linked it, along with regular coffee, to lower rates of Type 2 diabetes and other conditions, Dr Cornelis said. Tea also contains many beneficial compounds and drinking it has been associated with better heart health and a longer life. If you drink coffee regularly, consider the new findings and others like it as good news that it may benefit your health – as long as you don't add too much cream or sugar, Dr Zhang said. But if you don't enjoy coffee, Dr Mahdavi added, there's no need to start drinking it. It can interfere with sleep and make some people feel anxious or jittery. There are plenty of other, more evidence-backed ways to boost your health and longevity, Dr Shadyab added, such as following a balanced diet, exercising regularly, getting enough sleep and having an active social life. – This article originally appeared in the New York Times

Coffee Could Be The Secret to Healthy Aging For Women, Scientists Discover
The daily ritual of imbibing a hot cup of freshly brewed and fragrant coffee isn't just good for the soul – it may be one of the ways to smooth the road to healthy aging for women. In a study of 47,513 women in the US with data spanning 30 years, scientists have found that long-term moderate coffee consumption in mid-life is positively correlated with the markers of healthy aging. "While past studies have linked coffee to individual health outcomes, our study is the first to assess coffee's impact across multiple domains of aging over three decades," says Sara Mahdavi, nutrition scientist at Harvard University and the University of Toronto. "The findings suggest that caffeinated coffee – not tea or decaf – may uniquely support aging trajectories that preserve both mental and physical function." To assess the long-term impact of a daily cuppa (or two) on aging, Mahdavi and her colleagues made a careful study of data collected as part of the Nurses' Health Study, a series of epidemiological studies that examine the long-term impacts of various factors on the health of nurses in the US. They examined health and dietary intake data collected since 1984, all the way up to 2016. Healthy aging was defined as living to 70 years or older, maintaining good physical function, staying free from 11 major chronic diseases, and with no cognitive, mental health, or memory impairment. The researchers also adjusted for other factors that might influence health, such as smoking, alcohol consumption, level of physical activity, and body-mass index. By 2016, the researchers identified 3,706 women who qualified as healthy agers. For this group, around 80 percent of their average daily caffeine intake came in the form of three small cups' worth of coffee. By contrast, tea and decaffeinated coffee were not associated with any of the markers of healthy aging; and cola intake was associated with a negative impact for the markers of healthy aging. In other words, coffee had a positive effect; tea and decaf were neutral; and cola had a negative effect. For the healthy agers, each additional cup of coffee, up to five small cups a day, boosted the odds of healthy aging by between 2 and 5 percent. For the cola drinkers, each cup per day reduced the odds of healthy aging by 20 to 26 percent. Of course, coffee isn't a magic bullet for your health; you should still look after yourself in other ways, Mahdavi says. "These results, while preliminary, suggest that small, consistent habits can shape long-term health. Moderate coffee intake may offer some protective benefits when combined with other healthy behaviors such as regular exercise, a healthy diet, and avoiding smoking," she explains. "While this study adds to prior evidence suggesting coffee intake may be linked with healthy aging, the benefits from coffee are relatively modest compared to the impact of overall healthy lifestyle habits and warrant further investigation." The research has been presented at the NUTRITION 2025 conference in Orlando, Florida.

Just 16 sips of common drink per day protects from DEMENTIA... and the beverages that raise risk
Scientists have pinpointed a benefit of a morning cup of coffee beyond an energy boost. A study found drinking at least one eight-ounce cup of caffeinated coffee in the morning – a mere 16 sips – helps women age more healthily. That includes a lower risk of chronic diseases, cognitive decline which is linked to dementia, and physical limitations. A public health expert at Harvard University reviewed data on 47,000 women, many of whom provided dietary, lifestyle, and health data since 1984. Dr Sara Mahdavi, who led the study, said: 'In addition to the large sample size and 30 years of follow-up, we assessed several different aspects of longevity and healthy aging as well as very comprehensive information on nutritional and lifestyle habits that were collected every four years after the initiation of the study.' Dr Madhavi defined 'healthy aging' as living to age 70 or older, free of 11 chronic diseases such as cancer and diabetes, mobility problems, having good mental health, and no cognitive impairment or memory problems. With each additional cup of coffee per day, though generally no more that two and a half cups, the women in the healthy agers group had a five percent greater chance of maintaining their physical and brain health later in life. Dr Madhavi said: 'The findings suggest that caffeinated coffee, not tea or decaf, may uniquely support aging trajectories that preserve both mental and physical function.' After 30 years of tracking, Dr Mahdavi concluded that every extra 80 milligrams of caffeine per day – about one small cup of coffee – had a one percent higher chance of meeting healthy aging criteria. It also improved every aspect of health, including disease prevention, mobility, and mental sharpness, by two to five percent. While coffee protected against diseases linked to old age, soda had the opposite effect. Each daily glass of Coca-Cola, Pepsi, or other soft drinks was linked with a 19 percent lower chance of aging healthily and a 25 percent lower chance of meeting the healthy aging criteria. After tracking more than 47,000 women since 1984, only about 3,700 – just eight percent – met all the healthy aging criteria by 2016. In middle age (45 to 60), the healthy agers drank about 315mg of caffeine per day, the equivalent of about three standard cups. Coffee accounted for over 80 percent of their caffeine intake. The researchers did not find any significant association between drinking decaffeinated coffee or tea with an increased likelihood of healthy aging. 'Our study has several key strengths,' Dr Mahdavi said. 'In addition to the large sample size and 30 years of follow-up, we assessed several different aspects of longevity and healthy aging as well as very comprehensive information on nutritional and lifestyle habits that were collected every four years after the initiation of the study.' Researchers behind the Nurses' Health Study issued two questionnaires every two years to roughly 122,000 registered nurses ages 30-55 at the study's start, asking about their dietary habits, medical history, lifestyle (smoking, exercise, caffeine intake, etc.), as well as menopause status, hormone use, and mental health status. The study also collected blood, urine, and other bodily samples to examine biomarkers such as chronic inflammation. Some of the nurses have been tracked for over 40 years. The health benefits of moderate amounts of coffee have been studied for years, and scientists have linked the morning mainstay to reduced risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, and atrial fibrillation, a common heart rhythm disorder. It has also been linked to a reduced risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. A 2016 review of 11 studies in more than 29,000 people found that the more coffee they drank, the lower risk of developing the brain-shrinking, memory-robbing condition. And coffee consumption was shown in a Harvard University study to reduce diabetes risk. Men who drank one to three cups of coffee daily had a seven percent reduced risk of developing the chronic disease, while women who drank at least four cups had a 30 percent reduced risk. Dr Mahdavi said: 'While past studies have linked coffee to individual health outcomes, our study is the first to assess coffee's impact across multiple domains of aging over three decades. 'These results, while preliminary, suggest that small, consistent habits can shape long-term health. Moderate coffee intake may offer some protective benefits when combined with other healthy behaviors such as regular exercise, a healthy diet and avoiding smoking.' She will present the full study at Monday's meeting of the American Society for Nutrition.

Furious NYC moms rail against toxins in kid foods: ‘Shouldn't be so hard to protect your family'
Tara Ferrara's 7-year-old daughter began suffering from a baffling mix of symptoms four years ago — nausea, stomach pain and sudden, intense panic that struck without warning. As dozens of doctors worked to pinpoint the cause, they put the girl on a strict diet low in highly processed foods and free of gluten, dairy, corn, soy and histamines. For Ferrara, 39, figuring out what her daughter could safely eat was like trying to understand a foreign language. 'Sometimes I feel like I can't work because I literally need to research food,' Ferrara, a speech and language pathologist from Brooklyn, told The Post. Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) make up nearly 70% of calories in American kids' diets — and a jaw-dropping new White House report warns they may be fueling the nationwide rise in childhood chronic diseases. The Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) Commission's report marks the Trump administration's first major push to confront what it calls a 'crisis' affecting more than 40% of young people across the country. 'We will follow the truth wherever it leads, uphold rigorous science, and drive bold policies that put the health, development and future of every child first,' HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., said Thursday. Two New York moms raising children with chronic health issues told The Post that it can be an uphill battle to keep their kids' diets clean in a country where UPFs dominate supermarket shelves. While there's no single, universally accepted definition, UPFs are generally packaged, ready-to-eat products that undergo extensive industrial processing to boost their flavor, texture and shelf life. They're often loaded with added sugar, salt, unhealthy fats and refined grains — and packed with preservatives, artificial colors, flavors, emulsifiers and stabilizers not commonly used in home cooking. UPFs usually contain little to no fruits, vegetables or whole grains and are typically low in fiber and other essential nutrients. Researchers estimate that about 70% of the 300,000-plus branded food products in grocery stores fall into this category. Two years into the strict diet, Ferrara is still navigating the minefield — and slip-ups come with serious consequences. '[Food] really, really affects her and can trigger a flare-up where she's so uncomfortable gut-wise and brain-wise that she can't go to school,' said Ferrara, who co-owns Social City, which provides social support services for children. One recent mistake? The gluten-free, dairy-free pancakes her daughter eats every morning. Turns out they contain a corn-derived additive called maltodextrin — something Ferrara only discovered after calling the manufacturer. 'It was one of the ingredients that my eyes just skipped over, because I don't know what that is,' she said. 'Unknowingly, every morning I was giving her these gluten-free, dairy-free pancakes that actually have something that is highly inflammatory and ultra-processed.' The MAHA report warns that more than 2,500 food additives can be pumped into UPFs — all to enhance taste and texture and stretch shelf life. Some additives have been linked to serious health concerns, including behavioral disorders, metabolic issues and even cancer. Take Red 40, for example. This food dye is found in popular snacks like Skittles and Doritos, as well as drinks like Pepsi. It has been tied to increased hyperactivity and irritability in children, especially if they have ADHD, and can trigger allergic reactions in others. Meanwhile, research shows titanium dioxide, found in everything from candies to sauces, may damage cells and even DNA. Then there are artificial sweeteners like aspartame, sucralose and saccharin, which some studies suggest can disrupt the gut microbiome — a key player in metabolism, weight control and blood sugar regulation. Ferrara's younger daughter, 4, doesn't have food sensitivities — but keeping her diet clean is still a challenge. At school, playdates and other places outside the home, junk food is nearly impossible to avoid. 'She doesn't get directly affected immediately after she eats, but I know it's doing harm to her over the long term,' Ferrara said. 'Just because it doesn't outrightly show on every single person doesn't mean it's not doing the same damage internally.' According to the White House report, ultra-processed grains — found in cakes, cookies, breads and snack foods — dominate children's diets. These products are stripped of their bran and germ, removing essential fiber, vitamins and minerals. 'The stripping of these components can lead to blood sugar spikes, increasing the risk of Type 2 diabetes,' the report states. The sugar situation is just as grim. Ultra-processed sugars can be found in 75% of packaged foods. The average American consumes 17 teaspoons of added sugar a day — amounting to a whopping 60 pounds a year. This sugar overload — especially from high-fructose corn syrup and other additives — may be playing a 'significant role' in the nation's rise of childhood obesity, Type 2 diabetes and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, according to the report. But it's not just the ingredients — it's what industrial processing does to them. The MAHA report warns that processing alters fiber content, caloric density and digestibility in ways that can hijack hunger hormones, short-circuit satiety signals and damage the gut microbiome. 'It shouldn't be so hard to protect your family,' Ferrara said. 'They need to be more transparent with what's in the food, but also how it's processed.' Astoria mom Carissa Serralta has always strived to feed her kids a healthy diet — but it wasn't until one of her newborn twin daughters was diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder, MCAD deficiency, that she saw just how flooded grocery stores are with ultra-processed junk. The condition prevents her now 2-year-old, Mila, from properly metabolizing fats from seed oils like palm, coconut and avocado. 'Eighty to 90% of the brands you see on the shelf she can't have,' Serralta told The Post. 'It could be anywhere from pasta to tortillas to Cheez-Its.' That became a nightmare when she couldn't produce enough breast milk — and realized nearly all baby formulas on the market are loaded with seed oils. 'They say breast is best, but if you don't have milk for your baby and you have no choice but to give them formula, and the formula has bad ingredients, what do you do?' she mused. 'Your baby has to be fed.' Doctors told Serralta to give Mila tiny doses of seed oils to build tolerance for formula — but that led to months of relentless diarrhea. The MAHA report notes that seed oils have flooded the US food supply, overtaking animal-based fats like butter and lard in American diets over the past century. Finding safe foods has become 'a full-time job' for Serralta. Many of the items her daughter can eat aren't available locally, forcing her to shop online or cook everything from scratch. If Mila accidentally eats seed oil, it means an upset stomach, which Serralta said is painful but manageable. She is thankful it's not something more severe like a peanut or gluten allergy. The White House report highlights that childhood food allergies have soared 88% since 1997, while celiac disease in kids has jumped fivefold since the '80s. The diagnosis didn't just change what Mila eats — it transformed the rest of the family's eating habits. Serralta shudders at the thought of her older son previously eating ultra-processed snacks. 'It's almost a scary thought, because I was so unaware of this before I had the twins,' she said. And while she's no fan of the current administration, Serralta said she welcomes any effort to expand access to healthier foods. 'Less-processed foods have to be made available to all kids — it shouldn't just be online where people with lower incomes can't access it,' she said.

Saudi Arabia Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients Market Forecasts & Opportunities Report 2024-2025 & 2030 Featuring Pfizer, Aurobindo Pharma, Novartis, BASF, Viatris, and Novo Nordisk
The Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) market in Saudi Arabia is a critical segment of the country's pharmaceutical industry, which is experiencing notable expansion. This growth is fueled by rising healthcare needs, substantial government investment, and a shift toward enhancing local manufacturing capabilities. As one of the largest pharmaceutical markets in the Middle East, Saudi Arabia is integral to the regional API supply chain, both as a consumer and a producer. Saudi Arabian Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients Market Dublin, May 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Saudi Arabia Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients Market, By Region, Competition, Forecast & Opportunities, 2020-2030F" report has been added to Saudi Arabia Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients Market was valued at USD 290.75 Million in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 417.62 Million by 2030, rising at a CAGR of 6.18%. The demand for APIs is driven by the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular conditions, and cancer, which necessitate both essential and specialized pharmaceutical products. Additionally, the growing adoption of generic drugs is stimulating API production, as generics typically rely on more cost-effective active ingredients compared to branded drugs. This trend is further supported by government policies that encourage the use of generics to reduce healthcare costs and improve access to medications. The regulatory landscape, overseen by the Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA), ensures that all APIs meet international standards of quality, safety, and efficacy. The SFDA's rigorous regulations foster a controlled and high-quality manufacturing environment, which is essential for long-term market stability and Market Drivers Rising Healthcare Demand and Disease PrevalenceRising healthcare demand and increasing disease prevalence are critical factors driving the growth of the Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) market in Saudi Arabia. As the Kingdom experiences significant demographic changes and the healthcare needs of its population grow, the demand for APIs is expanding in tandem. These factors create a pressing need for pharmaceuticals to address the rising incidence of chronic diseases, thus spurring a substantial market for both essential and specialized APIs. Saudi Arabia's population is steadily increasing, alongside a marked rise in life expectancy. With a growing and aging population, the demand for healthcare services is Initiatives and Policy SupportGovernment initiatives and policy support play a pivotal role in driving the growth of the Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) market in Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 places a strong emphasis on healthcare workforce development to build a sustainable healthcare National Transformation Program, a critical component of Vision 2030, directly supports the pharmaceutical sector by improving healthcare services and fostering innovation. The NTP includes goals for enhancing healthcare access, improving the quality of medical treatments, and expanding the capacity for drug production within the Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA) plays a crucial role in regulating the pharmaceutical sector, ensuring that all products, including APIs, meet international quality and safety standards. In recent years, the SFDA has made significant strides in streamlining regulatory processes to facilitate the entry of new players into the API market. These reforms are designed to ensure efficiency, reduce bureaucratic hurdles, and create an environment conducive to Toward Generic MedicinesThe shift toward generic medicines is a significant driver of growth in the Saudi Arabian Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) market. This shift is reshaping the pharmaceutical landscape in the Kingdom, creating increased demand for high-quality, cost-effective APIs that form the backbone of generic drug production. Several factors are contributing to this transition, including government policies, cost-saving measures, and the evolving preferences of healthcare providers and consumers. Generic medicines are widely recognized for their cost-effectiveness compared to branded growing demand for generics translates directly into a higher need for APIs, as these drugs rely heavily on active ingredients that are less expensive than their branded counterparts. As the Saudi healthcare system increasingly prioritizes affordability and access, the demand for APIs to produce generics continues to grow. The Saudi government has been a strong proponent of increasing the use of generic drugs in the Kingdom as part of its broader healthcare reform agenda. Policies designed to enhance access to affordable medicines have encouraged the use of generics, both in the public and private Market Challenges Dependence on Imported Raw Materials and TechnologyOne of the most significant challenges facing the Saudi Arabian API market is the heavy reliance on imported raw materials and technology. While the Kingdom has made strides in promoting local pharmaceutical manufacturing, a large portion of the active ingredients used in the production of both branded and generic medicines is still imported from countries like India, China, and Europe. This dependency on foreign suppliers creates vulnerabilities in the supply chain, including fluctuations in raw material prices, geopolitical risks, and issues related to international and Compliance ChallengesThe Saudi Arabian pharmaceutical industry, including the API market, is subject to stringent regulatory frameworks governed by the Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA). While these regulations are designed to ensure safety, efficacy, and quality, they can also pose significant challenges to API manufacturers. The regulatory requirements for API production are complex and often involve lengthy approval processes, particularly for new products or for generics that are being introduced to the issue is the harmonization of Saudi regulations with international standards. While Saudi Arabia is increasingly aligning its pharmaceutical regulations with global best practices, differences between local and international regulatory requirements can lead to delays and additional costs for API producers, especially those who wish to export their products. Regulatory complexity, coupled with a lack of clear guidance in some areas, continues to be a significant barrier to the growth of the Saudi API Market Trends Increased Focus on Biotechnology and BiopharmaceuticalsOne of the most prominent trends influencing the future of the Saudi Arabian API market is the growing emphasis on biotechnology and biopharmaceuticals. With advancements in biologics and biosimilars, the pharmaceutical industry is experiencing a shift from traditional small-molecule drugs to more complex biologic treatments. These biologic drugs, which include monoclonal antibodies, recombinant proteins, and gene therapies, rely on specialized APIs that require advanced manufacturing processes and cutting-edge Saudi Arabia moves towards improving its healthcare system and expanding access to modern treatments, the demand for biologic drugs is anticipated to rise. This trend is already visible in the increasing focus on cancer therapies, autoimmune disease treatments, and personalized medicine, all of which heavily rely on biologic APIs. The Saudi government's efforts to boost local pharmaceutical manufacturing, combined with its push to foster biotechnology and innovation, will create a favorable environment for the growth of biopharmaceutical API production in the Kingdom. Adoption of Advanced Manufacturing Technologies (Industry 4.0)The integration of advanced manufacturing technologies, often referred to as Industry 4.0, is another trend expected to drive the future growth of the Saudi API market. Industry 4.0 encompasses the use of automation, artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, the Internet of Things (IoT), and big data analytics to optimize manufacturing processes, enhance quality control, and reduce operational Industry 4.0 technologies enable the production of more complex APIs, such as those required for biologics and high-potency drugs, further enhancing the Kingdom's ability to meet growing demand for advanced pharmaceutical products.
