Study: Drink 2-3 Cups of Coffee a Day for Longer Life, Better Heart Health

Drinking two to three cups of coffee a day is associated with a longer lifespan and lower risk of heart disease compared with avoiding the brew, a new study suggests. The findings from the large, observational study applied to different preparations: ground, instant and decaffeinated. All coffee varieties "were associated with equivalent reductions in the incidence of cardiovascular disease and death from cardiovascular disease or any cause," the study's primary author, Peter M. Kistler, said in a news release. The findings were published Tuesday in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, a journal of the European Society of Cardiology. Aside from caffeine, coffee contains 100-plus biologically active components, and these non-caffeinated compounds were likely responsible for the "positive relationships" observed between coffee drinking, cardiovascular disease and survival, he said.
