For coffee aficionados,
there's a lot
to love about coffee. The aroma. The flavor. The
morning ritual. The high-voltage jolt of energy that gets
the day moving. Researchers in Spain have
discovered that a generous dose of coffee every day
just might reduce the risk of developing heart disease,
too. Especially for women.
Researchers at Madrid's
Autonoma University, led by Dr. Esther Lopez-Garcia,
used data from two massive, long-term lifestyle
studies to track any adverse health reactions to a
lifetime of drinking as much as 6 cups of coffee a day.
The studies under evaluation, the Health
Professionals Follow-Up Study and the Nurses
Health Study, involved more than 42,000 men and
84,000 women, respectively, who participated in the
study from the 1970s to 2004. All study participants
were free of all signs of cancer or heart disease at the
beginning of the study.
When
risk of death due to heart disease was compared in
follow-up questionnaires completed from 1980 to
2004, female coffee drinkers were at 25% decreased
risk of dying from heart disease than their non-coffee-
drinking counterparts. Their risk of dying from
diseases other than heart disease or cancer was 18%
lower than the non-drinkers.
Men
drinking the same amount of coffee each day did not
realize the same health benefits the women did but
coffee consumption did not adversely affect the
mens' health or diminish their life expectancy,
either.
Previous studies indicate
regular coffee consumption is linked to a reduced risk
of developing type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular
disease. In the Spanish study, there was no
significant difference in the reduced risk of death due
to heart disease between drinkers of naturally
caffeinated coffee and those who drank decaf. This
finding leads researchers to conclude the heart-
healthy benefits of drinking coffee is more likely a
matter of the beverage's high antioxidant
content or
other lifestyle factors of the study's participants
than
the coffee's caffeine content.
The June 17 issue of
the Annals of
Internal Medicine carries the full details of this study.
