Okay, I don't need a doctor to tell me coffee is good for me, but that doesn't mean I won't accept a little confirmation bias, like this recent study by Chaofu Ke, M.D., Ph.D. which concludes,

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.

Cardiometabolic disease?

What's that?

How about Type 2 Diabetes, Coronary Heart Disease, and Stroke.

But how much could coffee help, really?

We're talking about a 48% reduced risk in any new onset of those major diseases.

And this wasn't a small study either. The authors "based their findings,"

... on data from the UK Biobank, a large and detailed longitudinal dietary study with over 500,000 participants aged 37-73 years. The study excluded individuals who had ambiguous information on caffeine intake. The resulting pool of participants included a total of 172,315 individuals who were free of any cardiometabolic diseases at baseline for the analyses of caffeine, and a corresponding 188,091 individuals for the analyses of coffee and tea consumption.

At this point with any other study that sounds too good to be true, I would dig into the methodology and run the numbers on the data.

But for some reason, I can't seem to sit still and concentrate.

Regardless, at my level of caffeine consumption, I'm confident I'll live forever.
