A study found that people drinking moderate amounts of coffee had a lower risk of developing cardiometabolic multimorbidity (CM)

A new study suggests that moderate caffeine intake, about three cups of coffee or tea a day, is linked to a lower risk of developing cardiometabolic multimorbidity (CM), which is the combination of heart disease, stroke, or type 2 diabetes.

The study, led by Dr Chaofu Ke from Soochow University in China, analyzed data from 180,000 people in the UK Biobank.

Findings
Those consuming three cups of coffee daily reduced their CM risk by 48.1%, while those taking between 200 to 300 milligrams of caffeine had a 40.7% lower risk compared to people who drank less than one cup or none.

However, experts warn that the study is observational, showing a link but not a direct cause.

They also point out the study doesn’t take into account caffeine intake through energy drinks, which have high doses that pose risks to heart health.
