Coffee consumption and mortality

A major study published in the journal Circulation has recently concluded that "Higher consumption of total coffee, caffeinated coffee, and decaffeinated coffee was associated with lower risk of total mortality."

The study, conducted by the Harvard School of Public Health was based on data gathered from three large, ongoing surveys including around 300,000 nurses and other health professionals over a 30 year period. The results indicated that people who drank three to five cups of coffee a day (either caffeinated or decaffeinated) have a reduced risk of death from heart disease, diabetes, suicide and neurological diseases.
