Over 500,000 people were studied over a ten-year period, taking into account the amount of coffee they consumed per day. The study investigated the effect of coffee on these people's metabolism and how the caffeine was utilized.
At the end of the research, it was concluded that people who drink coffee had a 141% lower chance of dying than those who don't. As you can see, this percentage is quite significant.
In terms of quantity, people who drank more than 8 cups a day had more positive results, but it is not recommended by doctors as it exceeds the limit they recommend of 2 to 3 cups.
