A recent study by the Harvard School of Public Health revealed that drinking coffee does not increase your risk of death and may actually have a beneficial effect on your heart.
The study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, followed more than 86,000 women for 24 years and 41,000 men for 18 years and found that coffee does not increase mortality rate. In fact, coffee may protect against heart disease and type 2 diabetes and it didn't matter if the beverage was caffeinated or decaffeinated.
Women enjoyed the most protection. Those who drank 4 to 5 cups a day, had a 26% lower rate of mortality from all causes to compared to women who drank no coffee. Even when they drank 2 to 3 cups a day, women still had a 17% less risk.
