WASHINGTON, June 16—Taking coffee for a long period of time doesn’t increase risk of early death and it may decrease chances of heart disease related death, a new study suggests.
There are many such previous studies as give a mixed picture of health effects from coffee; they suggest many benefits as well as some drawbacks of this well-liked drink. In this new study, people who take caffeinated or decaffeinated coffee were examined.
In this study, Esther Lopez-Garcia of Universidad Autonoma de Madrid in Spain and team followed 41,736 U.S. men during 1986-2004 and 84,214 U.S. women during 1980-2004.
The researchers noted that among the middle-aged subjects regular coffee drinking (up to six cups a day) couldn’t be linked with increased deaths. Contrarily, coffee lovers especially women were noted with a small decline in death rates from heart disease.
Similarly, no link was found between cancer deaths and coffee consumption.
“The study proves that coffee consumption does have a harmful effect,” Said Lopez-Garcia whose research has published in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine. Garcia also added that long-term coffee consumption might have beneficial effects.
The health effects of drinking coffee, which, usually contains stimulant caffeine and a many other vital compounds, is always a debatable issue among the scientists.
The participants of the study were given questionnaires on how usually they take coffee, what are their other diet habits and what are their smoking and medical conditions.
The researchers found that among the women who took two to three cups of caffeinated coffee daily had a 25 percent lesser risk of heart disease related death than the women who didn’t take coffee. The researchers also noted a decreased risk in men too but it wasn’t statistically significant. The scientist concluded that further research in this connection may prove very helpful to find have results.
