What your daily cup of coffee is really doing to you, new study explores

How your coffee habits unknowingly affect your health

Long black coffee

Do you know what your morning cup of coffee does to you? As it turns out, researchers from Tufts University have been asking this same question. A recent study published in The Journal of Nutrition examined the coffee-drinking habits of over 45,000 Americans from 1998 to 2018. This observational study analyzed data from the National Death Index Mortality Data, suggesting that individuals who consumed one to three cups of black coffee had a 14% lower risk of all-cause mortality and cardiovascular disease mortality compared to those who did not.

In addition to this key finding, the recently published study also found that individuals who drank more coffee achieved even better results. Those who had 2 to 3 cups of coffee had a 17% lower risk of all-cause mortality. However, the findings suggest that this research only applies to those who drank their coffee black. Adding cream and sugar to your coffee, even in small amounts, could completely negate the potential benefits of drinking black coffee. This study's findings come at a time when black coffee is on the rise, as health-focused coffee drinkers have begun to find new ways to eliminate added sugar and cream from their morning coffee.
"The health benefits of coffee consumption may be diminished when sugar and saturated fat are added," the study researchers concluded. It's also worth noting that this observational study only examined individuals who drank regular caffeinated coffee and did not explore the benefits associated with drinking decaf coffee. While this study suggests a correlation between coffee consumption and lower all-cause mortality, it does not necessarily indicate a causal relationship.

Clase Azul

There are very few tequila brands with more eye-catching bottles than Clase Azul. The popular brand’s newest expression is no exception. It’s called Clase Azul Tequila Blanco Ahumado. It’s the latest addition to the portfolio, joining the brand’s five tequilas and three mezcals.

This artisanal tequila begins with Blue Weber agave hearts that are baked in a traditional oven made by digging a pit in the ground and lighting wood and volcanic rocks. After baking, the agave is shredded, and the juice is fermented and combined with the brand’s proprietary yeast. It’s then double-distilled in copper pot stills, resulting in a memorable tequila that will make you rethink the depths of flavor that blanco tequila can contain.

New study suggests coffee disrupts brain’s overnight recovery

Is coffee keeping your brain awake at night?

cold coffee

Most caffeine addicts and coffee drinkers generally claim caffeine has little to no effect on them, especially as they build up a tolerance. However, a recent study featuring research from the University of Montreal suggests that the caffeine in your coffee may be doing more than just keeping you awake.

In a recent study, published in Communications Biology, researchers found that the caffeine in coffee (among other products, such as tea or chocolate) may play a role in how the brain recovers overnight. This means your caffeine addiction could be impacting physical recovery and cognitive function -- without you knowing it. The research suggests that caffeine can increase the complexity of brain signals and enhance the brain's "criticality" during sleep. Criticality, as defined by the study, describes a state of the brain that is balanced between order and chaos.
