Participants who consumed 1.5 to 3.5 cups of coffee per day, even with a teaspoon of sugar, had a mortality risk up to 30% lower during the study period than those who did not drink coffee.

Sweetened, and unsweetened coffee
Moreover, those who opted for unsweetened coffee showed a 16 to 21 per cent reduction in mortality risk during the study period, with a particular advantage for those who drank about three cups per day compared to non-coffee drinkers.

Decaffeinated coffee and coffee with caffeine
Using the UK Biobank's extensive medical database, researchers examined coffee consumption data from over 170,000 individuals aged 37-73 years, collecting demographic, lifestyle and dietary information over an average seven-year follow-up period. During the study, it was found that mortality risk was lower for those who consumed both decaffeinated and caffeinated coffee. However, the data did not provide definitive conclusions for those who drank coffee with artificial sweeteners.
