Researchers find coffee consumption is associated with a lower risk of death

Adults who drank moderate amounts (1.5 to 3.5 cups per day) of unsweetened coffee or coffee with sugar were less likely to die during a 7-year follow-up period, according to a recent study.

The outcomes were less evident for individuals who took artificial sweeteners. The findings of the study were published in the Annals of Internal Medicine. Previous studies observing the health effects of coffee have found that coffee consumption is associated with a lower risk of death but did not distinguish between unsweetened coffee and coffee consumed with sugar or artificial sweeteners.

Researchers from Southern Medical University in Guangzhou, China used data from the U.K. Biobank study health behavior questionnaire to evaluate the associations of consumption of sugar-sweetened, artificially sweetened, and unsweetened coffee with all-cause and cause-specific mortality.

More than 171,000 participants from the U.K. without known heart disease or cancer were asked several dietary and health behavior questions to determine coffee consumption habits. The authors found that during the 7-year follow-up period, participants who drank any amount of unsweetened coffee were 16 to 21% less likely to die than participants who did not drink coffee.

They also found that participants who drank 1.5 to 3.5 daily cups of coffee sweetened with sugar were 29 to 31% less likely to die than participants who did not drink coffee. The authors noted that adults who drank sugar-sweetened coffee added only about 1 teaspoon of sugar per cup of coffee on average. Results were inconclusive for participants who used artificial sweeteners in their coffee.

Any accompanying editorial by the editors of the Annals of Internal Medicine notes that while coffee has qualities that could make health benefits possible, confounding variables including more difficult-to-measure differences in socioeconomic status, diet, and other lifestyle factors may impact findings. The authors add that the participant data is at least 10 years old and collected from a country where tea is a similarly popular beverage.

They caution that the average amount of daily sugar per cup of coffee recorded in this analysis is much lower than specialty drinks at popular coffee chain restaurants, and many coffee consumers may drink it in place of other beverages that make comparisons to non-drinkers more difficult. Based on this data, clinicians can tell their patients that there is no need for most coffee drinkers to eliminate the beverage from their diet but to be cautious about higher-calorie specialty coffees. (ANI)

Coffee and soju are a perfect match, and these recipes will show you why

Coffee is the ultimate pick-me-up while alcohol is the source of liquid confidence. Combine them together and you’ve got a flavorful explosion that sends your mind into overdrive. 

If you think about certain drinks that go well with soju, sweetened milk and beer are the first that come to mind. But did you know that Jinro soju and coffee are a perfect match as well? 

Iggy Tan of Everyday Coffee Roasters believes that the bitter aftertaste of caffeine and the refreshing flavor of Jinro soju is the ultimate combo to keep your energy high.

“Soju has been around for some time. As Filipinos are starting on their “brewdol” journey, many are now beginning to acquaint their taste buds with coffee-inspired beverages,” Tan said. “Putting a little Jinro soju adds a subtle hint of alcohol and that cuddle warmth that is perfect in this rainy weather, whether at home or your nightly samgyupsal with friends.”

If you’re still unconvinced, allow us to list down the best coffee and soju combos that Tan recommends in this Philstar Life article.

Honduras Organic COMSA Manos De Mujer

Honduras Organic COMSA Manos De Mujer

Simply a trifecta of organic farm management practices; traceable to women producers in the Marcala region, a protected designation of origin (DENOMINACION DE ORIGEN CAFE DE MARCALA); and a meticulous post-harvest standard of hand sorting cherry, cherry floating to remove less dense and damaged beans, proper fermentation, and extended drying times. It starts with a concept called Finca Humana (the Human Farm) at Café Organico Marcala, S.A. (COMSA), where the wellbeing of humans is the core objective and educating more than 1,500 producer-members to live in harmony with nature successfully is everywhere.

The trailblazing ideas for using organic matter to cultivate high-quality coffee productively is only a sliver of what COMSA teaches about the power of nature through the Finca Humana philosophy. COMSA dedicates funding from the proceeds of coffee sales to run a cutting-edge International school dedicated to filling children’s minds with possibilities and training them to be the future leaders of Finca Humana. And COMSA has significantly increased the participation of women within the organization, which has resulted in an active women’s group that processes their community lots called Manos de Mujer.

This particular lot is a washed processed coffee, which comes from 15 farms owned by Irma Alicia Garcia, Jahaira Yosely Cardona, Justina Cálix, Enma Dalila Gonzales, María Transito Contreras, Pastora Fredesvinda Garcia, Esther Chávez, Reina Isabel Nolasco, Edil Guillermina Santos, Reina Margarita Gómez, Rosa Marilia Sánchez, Thelma Erasminia Márquez, María Aurora Pérez, Alba Daysi Zelaya, Carla Patricia Moreno.
