Science's Explaination: Why Coffee Drinkers Live Longer

There is actual science behind the fact that coffee drinkers often live longer than their non-caffeinated counterparts. Researchers have discovered that caffeine can counteract the inflammatory reactions that lead to cardiovascular disease later in life.

As if you need another reason to brew a fresh cup of joe every morning, the science appears to be increasingly on the side of those who consume the delicious brew.

Lead author David Furman, Ph.D., of the Institute for Immunity, Transplantation, and Infection at Stanford University in California, and colleagues published their study in the journal Nature Medicine.

That something many people drink – and actually like to drink – might have a direct benefit came as a surprise to us. We didn’t give some of the mice coffee and the others decaf. What we’ve shown is a correlation between caffeine consumption and longevity. And we’ve shown more rigorously, in laboratory tests, a very plausible mechanism for why this might be so.” – Mark Davis, Ph.D.
