The right amount of coffee has benefits

Coffee consumption is increasing in the United States, with 67% of adults drinking coffee, according to the National Coffee Association.

Researchers suggest that moderate coffee consumption can offer health benefits, including a reduced risk of type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease, and stroke.

A recent study published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism found that the benefits of coffee were highest for those who drank a moderate amount, defined as three cups or 200 to 300 milligrams of caffeine per day.

The Mayo Clinic also states that coffee can lower the risk of Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, liver disease, certain cancers, and kidney stones. However, dietitians warn that excessive caffeine intake can increase anxiety and disrupt sleep.

It’s also important to consider the amount of sugar, cream, and other additives in each cup of coffee.
