A new study suggests that coffee drinkers live longer.
The study comes from JAMA Internal Medicine and included half a millon people from England, Scotland and Wales.
Participants ranged in age from 38-73.
Erikka Loftfield, a research fellow at the National Cancer Institute, says ""We found that people who drank two to three cups per day had about a 12 percent lower risk of death compared to non-coffee drinkers" during the decade-long study.
In the United States, there were similar findings, including that a daily coffee habit could help people from getting type 2 diabetes and having a stroke.
In 2015, nutrition researcher Walter Willett of the Harvard School of Public Health said, "The coffee bean itself is loaded with many different nutrients and phytochemicals,” which Willett thinks possesses some health benefits.
Other researchers such as Christopher Gardner from Stanford Prevention Research Center says that the benefits of coffee could just be because it brings drinkers joy.
