A recent study led by Dr. Chaofu Ke from Suzhou Medical College indicates that consuming three cups of coffee daily may significantly reduce the risk of developing multiple cardiometabolic diseases, such as Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. The research, published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, analyzed data from over 172,000 participants in the UK Biobank, focusing on individuals without existing cardiometabolic conditions. Findings revealed that moderate coffee drinkers had a 48.1% lower risk of developing cardiometabolic multimorbidity compared to those consuming less than 100 mg of caffeine daily. The study suggests that moderate caffeine intake, approximately 200-300 mg per day, is beneficial, while excessive consumption may not yield additional health benefits. However, the study does not establish a direct causal relationship between coffee consumption and health improvements, emphasizing that other lifestyle factors also play a role. The results highlight the potential of coffee as a preventive measure against interconnected health issues, which can significantly increase mortality risk. While the findings are promising, individuals should consult healthcare professionals regarding their caffeine consumption, especially if they have sensitivities or health concerns.
- Drinking three cups of coffee daily may lower the risk of multiple cardiometabolic diseases.
- Moderate caffeine intake (200-300 mg) is associated with a 48.1% reduced risk of cardiometabolic multimorbidity.
- The study analyzed data from over 172,000 participants in the UK Biobank.
- The research highlights the importance of moderation in coffee consumption for health benefits.
- Further research is needed to confirm these findings and understand the underlying mechanisms.

I’m not saying coffee is either bad, or a miracle substance.
I am saying everyone and everything on this planet craves relevance.
So those who may be prone to heart problems are advised to not drink caffeine, and then we find that those who don't drink caffeine are more prone to heart problems. Yep.
It’s never clear if these coffee benefits apply to instant coffee or only to fresh brewed coffee. Has anyone see/read anything on instant coffee and health benefits?
This study refers to caffeine so it should apply. But coffee has numerous other compounds.. I think even decaf coffee is beneficial.

1. Wealth. Wealth has been shown to be positively correlated with a myriad of better health outcomes. Are moderate coffee drinkers wealthier than average?
2. Job type. Are moderate coffee drinkers more likely to be office workers compared to blue collar. Or vice versa?
3. Exercise. Do people who drink moderate amounts of coffee exercise more?
4. Caloric intake. Do people who drink moderate amounts of coffee also eat fewer calories? Of course, with this one it's hard to tease out cause and effect - can coffee have a bit of an appetite suppressant effect?
I've just learned over time that these types of nutritional studies often turn out to be wrong. Remember when we thought moderate drinking was good for you? Turns out that nearly all those studies were wrong due to other confounding variables (e.g. drinkers tend to be more social and there are a ton of health benefits from being social), and now the consensus belief is that alcohol itself is always a net negative, even in small amounts.
