WASHINGTON — A new study suggests that your morning brew might be doing more than just perking you up — it could be protecting you from a range of serious heart conditions. Researchers working with the Endocrine Society have found that drinking a moderate amount of coffee is associated with a lower risk of developing multiple cardiometabolic diseases. In simpler terms, your daily cup of coffee (or three) might help ward off conditions like Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and stroke.
“Consuming three cups of coffee, or 200-300 mg caffeine, per day might help to reduce the risk of developing cardiometabolic multimorbidity in individuals without any cardiometabolic disease,” says Dr. Chaofu Ke, the lead author of the study from Suzhou Medical College in China, in a media release.
What on earth are you talking about? Why are you so angry?
I didn't say "anyone who doesn't invest alcohol does it to avoid exacerbating current health conditions", I said a lot. Later studies have actually separated these groups to show this effect exists. I don't know how that could possibly be nonsensical, but I didn't cite anything because this was all over the news and has even been mentioned elsewhere on the thread. Older studies, after undergoing meta-analysis, don't hold up due to omitted variable bias like the one I mentioned, income (wealthier people tend to drink a little wine, surprise! They also have better health care), and others: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2802963?utm_source=For_The_Media&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=ftm_links&utm_term=033123
Your take on my personal life is not only super weird, it's extremely wrong. By all standard measures I am a "binge drinker" where I don't drink at all then will drink heavily when hanging out with friends, though I do occasionally have drinks with dinner.
Take a break from the Internet, man.
