With a little help from Irina Voronina:
The researchers found that people who drink coffee showed a lower risk of all-cause mortality, but when more than a little sugar and saturated fat was added, the risks were heightened. While limited in scope, the study suggests that drinking caffeinated coffee could help you live longer, while decaffeinated coffee drinkers saw no difference in mortality rates. And taking sugar, milk and cream in your coffee could increase mortality.
“Few studies have examined how coffee additives could impact the link between coffee consumption and mortality risk, and our study is among the first to quantify how much sweetener and saturated fat are being added,” researcher Bingjie Zhou said. “Our results align with the Dietary Guidelines for Americans which recommend limiting added sugar and saturated fat.”
I would suggest that the results result from people who use creamers and sugar in their coffee also consuming more in the remainder of their diet.
