WASHINGTON — A new study suggests that your morning brew might be doing more than just perking you up — it could be protecting you from a range of serious heart conditions. Researchers working with the Endocrine Society have found that drinking a moderate amount of coffee is associated with a lower risk of developing multiple cardiometabolic diseases. In simpler terms, your daily cup of coffee (or three) might help ward off conditions like Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and stroke.

“Consuming three cups of coffee, or 200-300 mg caffeine, per day might help to reduce the risk of developing cardiometabolic multimorbidity in individuals without any cardiometabolic disease,” says Dr. Chaofu Ke, the lead author of the study from Suzhou Medical College in China, in a media release.

I've drank quite a few more than just 3, so I'm basically indestructible

...what kind of cup? Does a Crema + double Espresso count as one or as three?

[-] Repelle@lemmy.world 61 points 4 days ago

I choose to believe all the studies that say coffee is healthy and none that say it is not. I won’t change my coffee drinking habits regardless, so best think positively?

[-] ChilledPeppers@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

You do you, but doesn't this remind you of the fake tobacco industry "research"?

Coffee, wine, chocolate... it feels like every day there's a new study showing how they're either great for you or how they're giving you cancer.

[-] RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de 25 points 3 days ago

Why not both? They might be all true. It is totally possible something reduces your chance to get diabetes but increases your chance for liver cancer.

[-] Akrenion@slrpnk.net 16 points 3 days ago

Most of these do not account for socioeconomic status of the test subjects or people willfully ignore them for a better narrative in derivative articles. They therefore boil down to: "people who can afford nice things live longer" Which would not be a great headline.

[-] mox@lemmy.sdf.org 11 points 3 days ago

Much like the way we were told for ages that a glass of wine every day was good for our health. I think the latest research is showing no evidence of that, but rather that any amount of alcohol raises the risk of cancer.

[-] Zorque@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

People who drink moderate amounts of wine regularly tend to have higher income, and thus better health in general. At least that's the last generally accepting hypothesis I last saw.

[-] Blueshift@lemmy.world 13 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

A problem with the older studies that seemed to indicate that alcohol had health benefits was also that their control group, the people who didn’t drink, turned out largely not to do so because they already had severe medical problems. They weren’t allowed to drink because of them.

Compared to them it looked like the people who did drink were more healthy on average. So they concluded there must be health benefits to drinking alcohol.

This “Science VS” episode is about that (and has a bunch of citations in its transcript): https://gimletmedia.com/shows/science-vs/llhdgj

They've been saying coffee prevents heart disease for decades. Why do they keep putting studies out that make it seem like this is a new discovery?

[-] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 6 points 2 days ago

makes for good advertising

[-] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 26 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

than just perking you up

It doesn't, if you're a regular drinker. Rather, you get withdrawal symptoms at morning.

[-] AA5B@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

Then you get mornings like today. Do I feel like shit because of withdrawal symptoms, or do I feel like shit from lack of sleep

[-] linearchaos@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

I drink coffee but I put no faith in this reports that always seem to go one way or another. Just drink it in moderation. It wasn't that long ago a glass of wine a day was considered healthy too.

[-] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 6 points 3 days ago
[-] Dark_Arc@social.packetloss.gg 10 points 3 days ago

The latest few reports have linked even mild drinking to increased cancer risks.

[-] booly@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 days ago

More specifically, the more recent studies analyze non-drinkers in two categories: those who just choose not to drink (generally healthier than even light drinkers), and those who don't drink because they have serious health conditions incompatible with drinking or people recovering from substance/alcohol abuse issues who (generally much less healthy than light drinkers). By separating those who don't drink versus those who can't drink, the studies reverse earlier findings that non-drinkers are less healthy than light drinkers.

No, alcohol has always been toxic. just like tobacco. Might see the same restrictions on their ads in the future.

It’s also linked to me having an anxiety attack before the day is done. Talking from experience.

tl;dr: Cardiometabolic multimorbidity is the co-occurrence of two or three cardiometabolic diseases, including diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. This study found that habitual coffee or caffeine intake, especially at a moderate level, was associated with a lower risk of new-onset CM.

Seems like a bit of a reach. Habitual caffeine intake means that you won't get both diabetes and a stroke? I'm not convinced this is useful information.

[-] LodeMike@lemmy.today 11 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Per day***

The headline makes it seem like it's per lifetime or something.

[-] Underwaterbob@lemm.ee 2 points 2 days ago

Caffeine gives me brain-destroying headaches if I just drink a single cup a day for a month or two. Inevitably. I've tried to be a coffee drinker a half-dozen times in the past few years because I love the pep I get from caffeine, and every single time, eventually I end up slowly pacing in a dark, quiet room - because even sitting down makes the pain unbearable - wishing the world would end so my head would stop throbbing.

I guess I just wasn't drinking enough?

[-] obinice@lemmy.world 14 points 3 days ago

Yes yes, studies show this, studies show that. And they all contradict each other, especially if you just wait a few years for things to come full circle.

It's gotten to a point where I just don't believe them any more.

Maybe coffee does in some circumstances with some people have a link to preventing diseases. Or maybe not.

We've seen, and will continue to see, well researched scientific studies that argue both sides of this, until the end of history.

Believe whatever makes you feel better, that's all you can do, really.

[-] Ephera@lemmy.ml 17 points 3 days ago

That's the journalists that inflate the meaning of these studies. The study itself will just say "we did measurements like this, here's the data" and probably even "we should do more studies to confirm or deny or narrow it down".

[-] witx@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 3 days ago

That's the journalists' fault. They have no business going through studies like this, that are not meant for them to make conclusions.

Believe whatever makes you feel better, that's all you can do, really.

Just stop spreading this bs, and stop reading news like these. Believe what accredited sources tell you, like your doctor or other professionals

I remember when "studies said" a glass of wine each day (week?) is good for your health.

[-] TheDeadHorse@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

I wonder if some of the positive affect is due to the temporary increase of blood pressure which may flex the walls of the veins and so forth.

[-] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago

That's about caffeine, not coffee exactly, also beware studies that say 'might'.

[-] Showroom7561@lemmy.ca 7 points 3 days ago

Considering that coffee is probably the highest source of antioxidants in a person's diet, there will be some health benefits. Just dont add dairy milk to it, or it will blunt absorption. Soy milk is fine.

But if you're an overweight, overworked, stress filled couch potato who doesn't exercise and eats poorly, then you're health is screwed regardless of how much coffee you drink 😂

Well...I drink decaf. The internet seems to think coffee=caffeine. I can never find info about drinking decaf coffee.

[-] CluckN@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago

That’s because decaf drinkers die within 30 days.
