Coffee is one of the healthiest beverages on the planet. It contains hundreds of different compounds, some of which offer important health benefits. Several observational studies indicate that coffee drinkers have a lower risk of death. You may then wonder whether this means you’ll live longer if you drink a lot of coffee. What do you think LiveTribers? Do coffee drinkers live longer?
Posted by on 10 Nov 2021
No, I don't believe so. I think coffee can be a health problem for some people. Too much and many people do drink too much. I bet those studies were done by the coffee companies. Hmm. Lol.
A big factor is HOW they drink their coffee. For a black coffee drinker like me? From what I've read, yes. Those who add milks, sugars, syrups, or other flavourings? Probably not, many things commonly added to coffee are detrimental to health. The amount of coffee consumed per day also has an impact on whether the consumption is beneficial or harmful.
I have no idea.
I believe they do I drink at least 3 to 4 a day and loving it
Of course they do
Coffee is a must! I strongly believe this statement!
If coffee drinkers have a lower risk of death, how do they know when to cash the chips in?????
Yes, coffee is a necessary part of life
Well, I have a addiction to coffee. Nescafe Blend 43 I drink around 20 cups a day, so I hope your all right . I hope coffee drinkers live longer .
I think that I heard that they do
Of course, they live longer, coffee takes all the hassles of life away
I drink one- two cups of instant coffee during the day, drink in moderation.
I drink coffee life goes on everyday DJ DOUBLE D FROM HGH SCHOOL GHETTODESTRUCT COMPANY ENJOYING LIFE IZ MOST IMPORTANTLY TOO KEEP YOURSELF ALIVE
Yes
Coffee give me Brian damage but it make me live long time
Love i
Believe it does if drunk in moderation
I need my cup of coffee at breakfast to help me start the day feeling fresh and alert.
Coffee keeps me alert if going on a road trip.
Enjoy warm cuppas with your bakery's delights for some sleeping problems go to hobart
I love my coffee it is good for you and better than alcohol.
Not sure but love my coffee
Coffee's health benefits are relative to the rest of your life style and consumption rate. While it can benefit you in some ways, it can harm you in others.
i love coffee very much
Me think it give me brain damage
I hope so! If the amount is an indication of longevity, I should live til 120
Yes it helps the body be awake for the day. But there is also side effects of having more caffeine in the body system.
I'm not sure
No idea but I love coffee!
Don’t know
It has done me no harm - I'm 76
Love my one coffee daily
Coffee makes you feel better instantly . When u feel better it is good for your mental health . Coffee has helped my son with his asthma as well . Am sure the benefits will be good in the long run for your health .
Maybe
There is no facts to say coffee is bad for you and there are a number of studies to say coffee is good for your health
To many cups of coffee can give you demantio.
Yes
Hi
Hi
Yes
I don’t think
I try to have two cups of coffee everyday, coffee is good for good health, I hope to live longer.
I really hope it does make us live longer
It is all about the polyphenols !
I hope so
I hope so. LOL
Yes that first coffee in the morning,taking that moment to relax with coffee helps U to start the day with a happy mind and that's keeping U to be healthier,love my morning coffee,
Yes, enjoying a cup of coffee in the morning let’s you start the day
Yes best part of my day is sit quite enjoy a hot coffee very relaxing peaceful
I’d rather drink coffee at least I know I’m alive it’s better than being in a drunken stuper
For years we've been told the caffeine in coffee is bad for our health and now we are told its healthy and will help us live longer. I have 2 mugs per day and 2 mugs of tea and have heard there's caffeine in that, too. I drink coffee because I like it, particularly in the morning. At 76 and, with women in my family who didn't drink coffee and lived until their 90's, I relying more on genetics. SANDRA
I’m not sure if I will live longer but it definitely makes me feel great when I enjoy my morning coffee when I get up
I don’t think they do, as coffee will make people stay awake for long time. If one can’t get enough rest and sleep l, they won’t be healthy and an unhealthy person can’t live longer.
personally i'm not a coffee drinker, i hate the feeling of coffee breath but everyone else in my family drinks coffee.
I believe they do. I am not one for all these fancy whiz bang coffee makers I opt for my French press and old style coffee percolator that I have had for years and grind beans for that great taste. A long black first thing makes my day.
Couldn't start my day without a cup of strong black coffee first thing in the morning
Yes gets that ticker beating faster and my morning start with a smile
Yes.. very refreshing..
Do not know
No idea! It’s an interesting topic though.
I love my morning strong black coffee, alas I do not know if one lives longer. Hope so.
I started drinking coffee at 10yrs of age, I am now a fit and healthy 68Yrs. I love coffee, but I do limit to 4 cups a day. I can't say if I will live longer because of it, but a healthy diet, of protein, vegetables and minimal intake of grains, makes me a happy camper. No milk, no sugar! Thankyou!
I don’t believe so
No
No
Yes they do. Only recently it was reported that drinking up to 4 cups per day was gud 4 Ur heart. Cheers
There has been a lot of write -ups re the amount of coffee that is a safe level for your continuing good health. I guess that overloading the safe level may not help to extend your life , but perhaps the individual metabolism comes into play in regard to that safe level of intake , therefore long living must vary with with other factors as well as coffee consuming.
Of Course! Actually EVERYONE will live longer because of coffee drinkers! Because it stops us wanting to whack some people in the head - hahaha
Yes because it is a social get together and enjoyment with others
Me having a cup of coffee has saved the lives of many people over the years!
I hope so as I love coffee but time will tell!
I BELIEVE COFFEE DRINKERS WILL LIVE LONGER
Never drank coffee and can’t believe people can’t start there day unless they have a coffee and are hung out till they gage it so no it must be bad for you if it does that to everyone who drinks it
Oh Dear Kitty, No wonder you have such a poor attitude, get yourself a cup of coffee and start enjoying life!
Coffee what a buzz isn’t that what’s life is all about
Coffee the bean of life
I really can't say whether coffee drinkers live longer, but I drink a lot of coffee and I feel fine
11 years loger
Well I'm sure coffee has done me good,I'm happy and very calm after my morning cuppa.6 cuppas a day usually and don't believe it keeps me awake.I never slept more than 4 hours straight unless it was due to an operation
Hopefully!
It depends on other lifestyle factors like exercise and overall diet.
I'm 76 and have been drinking a minimum of 4-5 coffees daily for a least the last 30 of those. It's currently 9:30 am and I'm on my third for today...
It depends on how much you drink If in moderation it probably does no harm, whether it does good is problematic
It depends on health status of person
I've got to 70, I drink coffee every day. So far, so good!
That's why I drink coffee, the answer was yes
I do believe that in moderation (less than 4 cups a day) it does have its benefits, but like anything else if taken in excess it could lead to heart attacks and therefore a lower lifespan, so as usual taking the middle road is the best approach
I certainly hope so I drink two three cups of espresso per day. It seems to help with my Diabetes Type 2. For every cup I drink a glass of water.
I enjoy a cup of coffee on a Thursday with my sister and have managed to live until the next one. and I just hope it continues for many Thursdays to come.
Don't know if we live longer but definitely happier
would probably die if I didnt have my morning hit
No, they are just awake longer lol
Coffee per se. is fine in moderation. Caffeine, on the other hand, might NOT be so good. Remember Caffeine is in a
Yes they do live longer. Only recently it was reported in t he media that drinking coffee had health benefits if drunk in moderation.
Cup of coffee to start the morning has to be good for you
Does anything truly make you live longer? Not sure....but Ia m going to keep enjoying my coffee anyway!!
I think anything in moderation helps you live longer
Not sure
If it was 1 cup a day perhaps yes. It's the fluid intake that is important and coffee is a fluid.
I think worrying about getting sick or firing from drinking too much coffee is the last of our problems just look what’s happening with the pandemic give me coffee ☕️ anytime
Death takes its place at anytime
I don't reckon so, a certain amount of caffiene is probably fine but too much is not good, depends how much they drink Two a day would be okay but moe than that should be a no no.
It keeps me going to the toilet at night, therefore disturbed sleep is health hazard. Coffee is researched as a life extender so I believe the results. But for those with anxiety depression issues, it can accacerbate or trigger anxiety due to it's stimulant effect. I wonder if decaf coffee has similar health benefit?
I do not know and I can't stand the smell. My husband has alergey to coffee.
Yes
No
I am not a coffee person , however I don't think it makes any difference to how long we live .
I drink 1 coffee a day and this Friday I turn 72. Alive and still active. Many more coffees in my future.
Coffee drinkers definitely live longer, because they have a lower risk of death, and they also have a more alert mind making the longer life much more enjoyable.
Hope so,I drink easy8+ aday.
They say a few a day is beneficial, but I guess like everything to much is not?
I drink coffee daily than before.
Hopefully
yes
Only the being above knows that question
Of course it does!
I hope so
Yes
What a great way to stay awake
Nothing wrong with coffee
Would be nice to think so:) I've always drunk coffee. I use to drink up to 10 cups a day - now it is 3, but if it helps you live longer the amount of coffee I've imbibed should have me living to 150yrs:)
I have never drink coffee in my life. My husband gets a headake from drinking coffee.
No
No
If this is true then coffee drinkers do live longer.
Yes I love a coffee
Let’s hope so!
Yes in moderation.
Maybe, but they are definitely happier
Not sure about that but maybe maybe it's true
I hope coffee drinkers do live longer, for I love my coffee first thing in the morning.
Yes
I drink coffee only socially, tea is my beverage of choice
Who knows? lol
Depends
No
Saying coffee is healthy is a lie! Coffee is an addictive substance that effects your whole body but particularly your adrenalins, moods and liver. Coffee drinkers do not live longer it is all part of the coffee industry to keep you hooked and believing it is good for you. I use to be a coffee addict, and since giving up 10 years ago, in fact all caffeine I am calmer, clear headed, energetic and a whole lot healthier!
Agree but I do love a good cuppa tea
Yes
Probably not with the large caffeine intake
As a coffee drinker I would love to think that a beverage I drink could prolong my life but there are far too many other factors that would need to be taken into account first. So, really I can't believe that statement at all
In reality a lot of coffee drinkers in the past are dead, didn't help them
Maybe I think so
Yes
Yes
Yes they do, im in my late sixties and been drinking coffee since i was a teen, and im still fighting fit.
I like coffee
they seem to if drink coffee in moderation
Yes I love coffee
As long as you drink it in moderation.
yes
Yes
I like coffee because not only does it taste good but it allows for communication, relaxation and friendship with others. That will provide longer life that the coffee alone.
To me coffee is no different from tea, wine, milk, beer etc we will live as long as our body allows us to.
Thanks .how long till payday
Coffee is one of the most healthiest drink.
Latest medical research confirms it does make you live longer, and I am proof of it!
I don't believe it makes you live longer
Healthy
Nothing wrong with anything in moderation! 3 coffees in the morning is the only way to start the day
Yes! It gives you more energy and get up And go!
All I know is: People who hang around coffee drinkers are more likely to live longer!
My Doctor told me a cup of coffee a day will improve my blood flow after a heart attack. Like anything if its over indulged in there are problems but one a day seems like a good position for me to adopt.
I believe coffee drinkers do live longer as the actual substance, in moderation, is a great drink to slow down and either revitalise OR relax til finished!!!! It is known to be a healthy beverage......the coffee beans have a few healthy uses, for example:-in the fight against cellulite, can use coffee granules to rub on affected areas in circular motionsi/daily,then wash off!!!!!
I think coffee drinkers do like longer.
I think so because there's lots of wonder s
Love coffee, two mugs in the morning two in the afternoon,one at tea time
I hope so
Probably
My parents 80 years of age and drink 3 to 5 coffee s a day they are very active for there age
Can't live without my coffee. I roast my own beans but only three cups a day and never instant.
My mum is a coffeeholic and she’s 88 years
I love to have one cup of coffee a day this happens as soon as I get out of bed this kicks starts my day off
Always enjoy coffee first thing in the morning. Good start to the day. I believe it's healthy if it does not contain milk and sugar.
I hope so!
Always enjoy a cup of coffee Yes I believe coffee drinkers do.libr longer
It depends on the time we’re given by God to live on this earth
Why wouldn’t you! Nothing better then waking up to a coffee!
Moderate drinkers only. Too much caffeine could affect the heart rhythm
It's entirely possible. I've heard it can be good for the heart.
Yes..and with a better quality of life due to the pleasure of coffee consumption!
Coffee love it, Maybe I need to research the good and bad One day when I have time Anne
No way
No
No
In morning it gives you a good boost after a 6hr. sleep.
Unsure if coffee drinkers will live longer but the people around the coffee drinkers almost certainly will.
Yes they do coffee is very calming l drink it every day it is my drink off choice
It reduces my stress and provides a social outlet - it improves my quality of life, if not my lifespan.
With coffee drinkers it is all about moderation like every other beverage that you consume. Drinking too much coffee will keep you awake at night and deprive you of sleep, Which is unhealthy. At the same token drinking two cups of coffee one in the morning and one in the afternoon will provide you with enough energy to keep you going through the day.
Every individual has their own life span even if they drink heaps or no coffee at all
No but they probably stay awake longer
Depends how much milk & sugar you are adding to it
Yes
Yep. And it’s good to drink.
No. We just get more done.
Not too sure, I know that I have 2 to 3 cups perror day, and only Moconna coffer.
Yes I would think they do
I don't know if we live longer but I do know that after trying to get some sleep while twitching and jumping all night with caffeine jitters it sure feels like forever.
I can not be with out my coffee,I live on the Ness coffee all day, thanks you so much for being part of my life!!!n
no
No
Yes, coffee keep us healthy
I loved coffee
Coffee ☕️ is a good thing to start a morning! and there’s a lot of benefits that coffee have boost your energy level and coffee have potential to prevent depression and this also can help to those people who wants to lose weight but don’t drink coffee during at night because coffee contains caffeine that cannot make you go to sleep.
I think coffee has cacao which is full of antioxidants and good for healthy life and longer life. I drink when I get migraines and it works.
Coffee comes from coffee beans and cacao of cacao beans and is chocolate. You can add it to the coffee thought.
Has some good but also some bad effects
I restrict my intake to one cup on most days. It helps me to focus and concentrate better and to feel more awake. I doubt one cup a day has any long term effects.
I drink it but don't believe it lowers our risk of death, causes nervousness, increased heart rate, trouble concentrating.
I don't know actually
I don't drink it any more and who could possibly work out that now I won't be living as long as I would have if I'd continued to drink coffee?
Yes I drink 6 coffees a day . straight long black. Love it and cannot do without it
Yes I t try hunk coffee is good to have it once each day
I have 2 or 3 half strength coffees a day and am pretty healthy for an 80 year old. I sometimes have herbal tea too
I have a cup of coffee every morning to get me started I don't think it's a problem!
I drink coffee almost every morning. Don’t think it’s too much of an issue.
I drink coffee in the morning and it provides me with plenty of energy through the day.
Yes! Antioxidants incoffee!
All my family are tea drinkers and they were 99;84;79, the only coffee drinkers went at 35!!!
I drink coffee and I am still alive at 73 haha
I drink tea and my partner drinks coffee.
I think tea and coffee have benefits, my mum lived to 90 a big tea drinker, my grandmother dad's side lived to 92 a coffee drinker
It doesn't apply to me as I don't drink coffee as can't stand its smell nor its bitter taste.
No I don't think it makes any difference if you drink coffee or not.
I drink 1 strong coffee with 3 sugar Every day! I’m 78 and still feel like 60.
I completely agree.. everything in moderation. I don't think coffee drinkers live longer. don't think it makes a difference
I don't think so
I hope so as I drink a lot of the stuff
no
No
No
I can't start without having my morning coffee
2 cups a day look after your health
Coffee is just another habitual stimulant, & as such is neither good nor bad physiologically; psychologically however, it helps maintain equanimity.
Coffee is a cup of relief , its not only a drink but also a lifestyle.
Coffee is best to stimulate you throughout the day
One cup a day is good for the body
2 cups a day minimum
A couple of cups a day
Got to have something for breakfast
Amazing
Most definaetly.
Yes
Absolutely
Yes cause otherwise you'd kill someone lol
It ain’t me, without my coffee!
I have 2 cups of coffee a day with milk and I believe it helps wake you up and get you moving
I'm not a doctor but I think maybe
six strong cups a day , will not keep Santa away cheers
HI, I love this survey and i recommended. Thank you.
Coffee is good but in moderation like everything else!
Coffee can be good in moderation but can also be bad if you have to much of it.
As with everything else we get confused by biased company statements.
Coffee is amazing they come up with something new each year about coffee n health effects
Feeling good
alfredadunn18@email.com
It is a bit hard to tell if coffee drinkers live longer, but I love drinking it and it seems to give me the energy I need to get through the day
Depends on their health
Both ,depends on genetics !
Yes
Hahahahaha
Depends on what you adulterate the coffee with and the purity of the coffee.
No
Do not think so
I like coffee?
This subject is stupid coffeeis addictive and most people cannot go anywhere without this there is no froof this is happening this is probably set up by a coffee maker for all to drink more you are suckers to advertising
Thanks Glenys I have been in two minds about this very question for a long time I have not found anything as balanced and informative as your expose it is without doubt the irrefutable froof for which I have been searching well researched thank you
I have lived longer than anyone who died before the age of 74 and I like black coffee without sugar.
I'd like to see some peer reviewed papers by medical experts before accepting the claim. Either way it isn't going to change my coffee drinking behaviour which is very variable. Some days I have none, most days I have 4-7 and some days I have more than 15.
dunno maybe
Yes
Most definitely! Coffee is life!
Yes!
I drink at 20 cups a day and full of energy
I drink coffee 3 times a day, maybe extra if I go out and am still ticking at 85
Depends on lifelong activities they do or don’t do
MY MUM is 95 years old, she drinks coffee at least 2 times a day
I love my coffee ,, and Im Not dead yet ,so it's a bit hard to tell if I live longer by drinking it
I love my coffee,morning ,noon and night. Living longer whatever they reckon,when my time is up it's up.
I enjoy my coffee in many ways, percolated, bags, French press and I never think about the health aspect, but I have seen publicity about health benefits. However I think my two long blacks in the morning and one in the afternoon is adequate for my age,
Yes....research has proved that....
When your time is up I don’t think coffee has much to do with it
I believe a few cups a day is good for the heart
Based on genetics I should , with the aid of the coffee I drink , live til at le as t a hundred! Look out world!!
I wonder about the question,I drink coffee Day and night love it
As long as the coffee is made from ground roasted beans and not from a jar of instant coffee or too much sugar in Your cup, the yeah, coffee is a good choice for a beverage to help live longer.
Yes, and it's now been proven by research delivered just a week ago!
There is a difference between Instant and real coffee. I use Ground coffee in a plunger. Its the ground coffee fresh from the beans itself that has the most benefits. And its tea that has more caffeine then real coffee and Real coffee has more antioxidants then tea. Its coke that is the bad one for you liver as its not a natural source of caffeine. And i usually get headaches if i drink to much instant coffee.
In my personal opinion, coffee (caffeine) affects your liver, but really I don't believe that it will give you longer life in this planet.
Not sure would be good if so probably if you keep it limited to much of anything is not good for you
No.
No
Like everything else, best in moderation. Not too much, but should and can have.
I need my morning coffee
I love my coffee so I will live a awesome life
Yup.
Two cups a day, so far have made 85
I like a short black with half a shot of white sambucca in it
Coffee is life
Love the smell but hate the taste of coffee! Husband loves it!
Nah I don't drink coffee
apart from the acid issues coffee causes.
I don't drink coffee at all but I know alot of people who do and most say they wouldn't have a clue if it was good or bad for you, what they say though is what would their life be like without it. Makes you wonder if it's an addiction.
I feel we are just as likely to die but Im sure both tea and coffee drinkers are possibly sure to be healthy people but then there's also alcohol drinkers that are casual drinkers of Wines are the same. Everything we indulge in may have great benefits for us so long as we don't abuse and in moderation
it depends on the coffee quality and moderate use, too much caffeine is not good for the heart or blood pressure and can lead to electrolyte imbalance, i.e, low Potssium. instant coffee appears to hasten osteoporosis in the elderly.
I doubt it results in living longer but it certainly improves my day
I believe drinking coffee will help you live longer
I find coffees helpful arfter a hard day's work it very good for stress and helps me to sleep better at night I always drink one hot cup before going to bed.
I drink coffee ten times a day
Think that people who drink coffee also socialise more than those people who don't drink coffee. It is probably the combination of the two as well as keeping active in mind as well as body that gives this longer living, less dementia effect.
I believe coffee is a good stress relief. It offers comfort in its taste, the social aspect it offers with friends get togethers, family catch ups, and work place conversations - over drinking a cup of coffee together. Providing consumption is kept in moderation it can be very beneficial in a healthier and happier lifestyle. However in over indulgence (like many things/food/drinks in life) it may be harmful.
We are doing ok this far,
Surely it would depend on what you have in the coffee. If you have 6 coffees a day and 2 sugars in each plus milk then that is a lot of sugar and may push your body towards diabetes
Probably depends on how much coffee - too much would degrade sleep quality and keep your system too stressed and wear your body down over time
Only live longer if keep themselves fit and healthy
We just want to live longer so we can drink more coffee!
Well, if the latest research announced this morning 16/11/21 is to be believed, Yes they do. People who drink 3-4 cups of coffee (and tea) have a lower risk of stroke, heart disease, or dementia, than those that don't!
Think that's because they are socially active as well as drinking coffee.
No
no
Coffee is definitely a lifesaver to those who hang around people who drink coffee. Without the coffee there would be many more homicides?
Coffee.someone say coffee. Where. Give me a coffee. Coffeeeeee
this is still a debatable issue which may never be solved. To play safe, moderation is the key to good health & longevity
No I believe coffee is a slow poison
The same can be said of water or air. Let's face it if coffee's going to poison you so that you die in your nineties who gives a rat's anyway.
yes
No, Why would they?
I don’t believe that at all as it can also cause other health problems.
I go by the mantra "anything in moderation". I drink coffee and sometimes late at night and no problems sleeping. My kidneys are great as is my blood pressure. I am in my 70's. I smoked for years heavily and my lungs are healthy. I think sometimes it is the luck of the draw which way your health goes and it can depend largely on your family history also.
Dont know my Grandmother only drank tea and she lived until she was 96 so I think I perfer tea
I love coffee, although agree with your grandmother’s choice. My 94 year old Nan only drinks black tea and I think it has benefited her well-being
Despite all the bs Coffee is NOT an overly safe beverage , especially if over consumed. Refer to any Lancet orJems article. It can cause bone density issues, sleep issues, high blood pressure and kidney issues. Its a legal and socially acceptable form of stimulant drug abuse.....much like cigarettes and good old booze!!!
Anecdotal from an interested party or are there tested methods over years printed in medical journals proving this wild statement?
Yes I do ,I drink about 6 cups of coffee a day some from hone and some from a Coffee shop
May not have any relation to living longer or shorter but definitely make life happier
