Coffee lovers may not have to feel that familiar pang of guilt when pouring themselves yet another cup of joe for the day. A new study found that drinking
coffee, even more than 8 cups a day, was linked with a lower risk of death within a 10-year follow-up period. However, the researchers stressed that the
study only found an association with coffee and longevity and didn't prove that coffee leads to a longer life. "Although these findings may reassure coffee
drinkers, these results are from an observational study and should be interpreted cautiously," said lead study author Erikka Loftfield, a research fellow
at the National Cancer Institute (NCI). In the study, published today (July 2) in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine, Loftfield and her team at the NCI
analyzed data from nearly 500,000 people who took part in the U.K. Biobank study. That project gathered health information from more than 9 million people.
As a part of the Biobank study, people were asked how many cups of coffee they drank daily, including decaf. The participants also answered questions
about their general health, education, and smoking and drinking habits. Researchers additionally sampled the subjects' DNA. In a 10-year follow-up period,
around 14,000 people in the study died (the leading causes of death were cancer, cardiovascular disease and respiratory diseases). The researchers found
that the more cups of coffee people drank, the less likely they were to die during the study period. Though there were slight differences among the types
