> This study seems to be less about the benefits of coffee but rather the health risks of sugar. The control was not drinking coffee, and far lower all-cause mortality was observed in both black coffee and coffee with a tiny bit of sugar. Or: Yes, adding a ton of sugar to anything is unhealthy, but this study provides far more information than that. Although it's observational, the observed effect is huge. From the study: "Compared with nonconsumers, consumers of various amounts of unsweetened coffee (>0 to 1.5, >1.5 to 2.5, >2.5 to 3.5, >3.5 to 4.5, and >4.5 drinks/d) had lower risks for all-cause mortality after adjustment for lifestyle, sociodemographic, and clinical factors," [then repeats for lightly sugar-sweetened coffee, but not artificially-sweetened coffee].
