Coffee drinkers rejoice! A mountain of evidence tells us that those who regularly drink coffee have a lower risk of diabetes, fewer strokes and heart problems and lower rates of certain cancers. All of that may explain why coffee drinkers tend to live longer than those who don’t drink the brew. And what’s interesting is that the effect of coffee is similar for people who drank caffeinated or decaffeinated versions, suggesting that components within coffee other than caffeine are responsible for the health benefits that come with a hot cup of joe.
