Drinking coffee fits in beautifully with healthy living. That was the energizing conclusion from a massive review analysis that combined the data from 201 previously published studies looking at coffee consumption and health outcomes.

Here are the reports “perks” at a glance:

• A longer life
• Reduced risk of death from all causes, with heart disease being most consistent
• Lower risk of cancers of the prostate, uterus, skin, and liver
• Protection from type 2 diabetes, gout, gallstones and cirrhosis
• Less risk of Parkinson’s disease, depression, and Alzheimer’s

The sweet spot overall was around 3-5 cups (not mugs) a day. There was less evidence for decaf, but it did show benefits for some outcomes. The researchers remarked that other than during pregnancy and in women with a high risk of fractures, drinking coffee is safe and tied to numerous benefits for adults. (BMJ, 2017; j5024 DOI: 10.1136/bmj.j5024 )
