"The researchers found that the association between coffee and reduction in risk of death increased with the amount of coffee consumed."
Unfortunately, drinking too much coffee in one go can kill you, as it is toxic.
- pyre 14y agoThe same can be said of water...
- Tichy 14y agoSure, but I am not aware of a paper that claims that the more water you drink the longer you live.
- pyre 14y agoThey did not say that the risk of death decreases linearly with the amount of coffee that one drinks. Such a statement could possibly encourage people to drink amounts of coffee that could be detrimental to their health. What they did say is that people that regularly drink 3+ cups of coffee a day seemed to correlate with decreased risk of death (over the period in question). In my opinion, this would only encourage people to take up drinking 3-4 cups of coffee a day. I do not see a risk of someone overdosing on coffee in response to this study.
