Mental Floss reported earlier this week that a new UK-based study shows that drinking up to eight cups of coffee per day can lower someone’s risk of death.
British researchers analyzed “data from the UK Biobank pertaining to the lifestyle choices, demographics, and genetic information of 500,000 people.” Out of the 500,000 participants, 87% were avid coffee drinkers. Over the course of the study, from 2006 to 2010, around 14,000 participants died, and “an inverse relationship between coffee drinking and the risk of death was recorded.”
The author of the study, Dr. Erikka Loftfield, commented, “How well caffeine is metabolized varies considerably from person to person.”
