The largest study ever conducted on diet and health examined the association between coffee drinking and subsequent mortality among hundreds of thousands of older men and women in the United States. Coffee drinkers won, though the effect was modest. However, if you put all of the coffee studies together, the bottom line is that coffee consumption is associated with no to low change in mortality starting around one or two cups a day, for both men and women.⁠ ⁠ A 2014 meta-analysis suggested that daily coffee consumption was associated with a slightly increased risk of bone fractures in women, but a decreased risk of fractures in men. This is not the case for hip fractures, though. Tea consumption may actually be protective against hip fracture, but it appears to have no apparent relationship with fracture risk in general.⁠ Watch the video "Coffee and Mortality" at bit.ly/3fLKQ23 and see our coffee topic page at bit.ly/3VrVAmK to learn more.⁠ ⁠ PMIDs: 22591295, 23871889, ...
