![]() ![]() About two cups of coffee a day worth of caffeine may worsen urinary leakage in men as well.Ī 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. Decaf did cause less though, so GERD patients might want to choose decaffeinated, or even better, drink tea.Ĭoffee intake is also associated with urinary incontinence, and so a decrease in caffeine intake should be discussed with women who have the condition, or men. If you reduce the caffeine content of coffee down to that of tea, it still causes significantly more acid reflux. Is it just because tea has less caffeine? No. If you actually stick a tube down people’s throats and measure pH, coffee induces significant acid reflux, whereas tea does not. Healthwise though, a recent population study found no link between coffee consumption and symptoms of GERD, such as heartburn and regurgitation. On a cup by cup basis, the risk of dying was 3% lower for each cup of coffee consumed daily, which provides reassurance with respect to the concern that coffee drinking might adversely affect health. But, if you put all the studies together, the bottom line is that coffee consumption is associated with no change or a small reduction in mortality starting around one or two cups a day, for both men and women. Hence, based on this study, it may be appropriate to recommend that you avoid drinking more than four cups a day. That much coffee was found to increase the death rates of younger people, though-under age 55. 10 to 15% lower risk of death for those drinking six or more cups a day, specifically due to lower risk of dying from heart disease, respiratory disease, stroke, injuries and accidents, diabetes, and infections. Coffee drinkers won, though the effect was modest. Do coffee drinkers live longer than non-coffee drinkers? Is it, “Wake up and smell the coffee,” or “Don’t wake up at all?” The largest study ever conducted on diet and health put that question to the test, examining the association between coffee drinking and subsequent mortality among hundreds of thousands of older men and women in the United States.
