The trend of adding protein to coffee was born on TikTok. And capitalism has taken note of this “functional coffee”

by

Drinking coffee is a very personal thing. You can do it because you like its flavorbecause you want to take advantage of its health benefits or even because you want that caffeine ‘shot’. It is also a social drink with that classic “let’s have a coffee”, but in recent years, coffee has also become a functional drink. Reason? The need to add protein to everything. And coffee chains have not been slow to surf the trend. The ‘profess’. Proteins are one of the pillars of a balanced dietbut if we do intense and regular sports, its intake becomes essential. The ideal is to get it from food, but protein powder (whether vegetable or whey) It is a quick and easy way to increase daily grams. The “normal” thing is to have a smoothie, but in 2021 a trend appeared on TikTok: the ‘teacher‘. Basically, it is the combination between ‘protein’ and ‘coffee’ and it is what you are imagining: enrich a coffee with protein powder. Hacking coffee. Named As ‘broistas’, a term that can be somewhat derogatory and combines ‘gymbro’ with ‘barista’, there were those who went directly to a cafeteria, ordered a long coffee and mixed it with their protein shake. Here the search is to convert coffee into a strictly functional drink that provides caffeine that allows you to perform more during the training session, burn more fat if that training is going to be cardio and add a few more grams of protein to the daily count. Dutch Bros menu Dutch Bros.. Evidently, coffee shops have taken note. The entire food industryIn fact, she has been on the protein diet bandwagon for years, with very particular labeling and higher prices in foods that have one or two more grams of protein per 100 grams than the unenhanced version (which is a ridiculous amount). And, as we say, the coffee shops have not wanted to miss that train of body worship. If people come, order a coffee and add it to their proteins, why not offer the combination directly? Thus, at the beginning of 2024, the coffee chain Dutch Bros. -very direct competition from Starbucks, at least on US soil- launched a series of protein drinks. Coffees like the Salted Caramel Protein Latte or the Salted Caramel Protein Mocha have 20 grams of protein and no added sugar. The key is their reduced-fat protein milk to which they have added proteins -casein-, and little by little they have been opening the range of protein versions of their most popular coffees. starbucks. Also in the American West, but somewhat further north, this protein coffee thing resonated. Starbucks wasn’t going to stand by while customers demanded something the competition was already offering, and just a few weeks agothey launched a protein drink line within your menu. It depends on what you choose, but there are milk foam options that provide about 15 grams of protein per drink in a large size, to others that use milk with whey protein that provides between 30 and 35 grams of protein per drink. As is logical at Starbucks, there are plenty of drinks available to choose from and it doesn’t look like it’s going to be a fad: it’s here to stay. Tressie Lieberman is the company’s chief brand officer and commented that it is something that “responds to the growing demand for protein by consumers.” And other companies are preparing their strategies, like Peet’s Coffee with its ‘Vitality Menu‘ with protein lattes. Necessary? I know esteem that the market for this functional coffee is valued at 4,000 million dollars and that it will reach more than 14,700 million by 2034. It is the consequence of that aforementioned cult of the body, especially in younger consumers, because it is an aid to reach the necessary grams of protein in a simpler way. However, there are those who are skeptical. Eating protein, especially if you practice sports, is fine, but nutritionists already warn that, while an essential nutrient, protein “should not be treated like fairy dust that we sprinkle on everything.” In the end, it all depends on each person’s nutritional needs and how convenient a shake is… or the pleasure of getting that protein from food.

We knew that coffee was good for health, but now we have discovered that it is a great ally of our microbiota

by

For years, coffee has not been too well considered. It depends on the place and the historical momentbut the culprit was not so much coffee itself … as caffeine. Although the evidence has managed to deny them, there is still A lot of myths about caffeine and its effects. But something that is also making clear research is beneficial effect of coffee on the body. It depends on the type of tan, of course. And one of the studies More recent links coffee with the intestinal microbiota. Directly, it favors the Bacteria growth in our body. And it is something that fulfills a vital function. The community Microbial of coffee. As we say, different studies on coffee allow you to have discovered your beneficial effects on cardiovascular diseasesthe diabetes or your Effect on the kidneys. In parallel, a relationship between coffee intake had been observed with the increase of certain intestinal bacteria, but the studies were on a small scale. Now, in Nature Microbiology he has Posted a study in which the genomic sequence of the intestinal microorganisms of more than 22,000 people in the United Kingdom and the United States was investigated. They have discovered that coffee drinkers had a different microbiota, with intestinal bacteria such as Lawsonibacter asaccharolyticus Eight times more abundant in the microbiota of coffee drinkers than in those who do not ingest this food. And what does that imply. It is not limited to that bacteria, since increases in irmicutes, actinobacteria, actinobacteria were also observed, PREVETELLA, Faecalibacterium and Bifidobacterium, All of them linked to beneficial metabolic effects, such as greater production of short chain fatty acids. What this means is that, thanks to its polyphenols and the soluble fiber it contains, coffee produces some Prebiotic effects that have a direct influence on beneficial bacterial growth. Before I said that it is something that fulfills a vital function, and in this case it is not an exaggeration. Intestinal microbiome bacteria They fulfill functions such as facilitating digestion, strengthening the immune system, regulating inflammation or protecting against pathogens and diseases. Very direct effects of this includes the production of vitamins and enzymes that are not obtained from food, facilitating Digestion of compounds as fiber and starch or Immune system regulation to distinguish between harmful and benign organisms. Four cups. Tim Spector is one of the experts who has supervised the article and, as my colleagues from Straight to the palatethe amount of optimal coffee would be between two and four cups a day. It all depends on the organism of each one and tolerance, but something interesting is that we not only obtain those benefits for the microbiota, but also a a large amount of fiber. Specifically, 1.5 grams of fiber for each cup of Filtrated coffee (There are many ways to prepare it, but filtered or infused is one of those that allows to extract more nutrients), and it is an amount similar to what would be obtained when eating a tangerine And the caffeine, what. And this of the tolerance that each one has to coffee is important because there is a “Limit” in the amount of caffeine That we can take up to be in the healthy segment, but it depends a lot on each person. The good thing is that these positive effects on microbiota have been reported both in the ‘normal’ coffee and in the decaffeinated. If milk is addedIn addition, the amount of polyphenols may slightly decrease, but the balance is still positive. What should not be added is sugarsince there we would be doing more bad than good. But if decaffeinated coffee is consumed, you should have an eye on how the process has been performed. Not all decaffeinated coffees are the same because there are several ways to eliminate (which is not completely eliminated, but is considerably reduced) caffeine, and Not all are equally healthy. To the point that some methods They are under the radar of organizations such as the US FDA. Image | Justin Bhalla In Xataka | There are more and more studies that link coffee with living more.

This map exposes the most popular coffee in each country. Capuchino is the undisputed winner worldwide

by

On October 1, World Coffee Day will be held. It has no importance for those who already celebrate that ephemeris every day (and more knowing what it is Good for health), but it is the date chosen by the International Coffee Organization to pay tribute to this universal drink (and baptized by Clemente VIII) and value both the situation of coffee growers such as fair trade networks and sustainable practices. Not surprisingly, coffee is the second most consumed drink in the world only behind the water, and something very interesting is to know the coffee tastes of each of the countries. The reason? Although there are two main coffee varieties –The robust and the Arabica-, there are many preparations and machines that give very different results. And this map illustrates it perfectly: Prepared by Coffenessin it we can see what kind of elaboration is most present in the day -to -day life of many of us. Among all, the star is the cappuccinoand by far: according to the map, It is the preferred preparation of 24 countriesamong which is Spain. He is loved in much of Europe, in fact, and a lot of distance from the espresso. This elaboration, stronger and concentrated, is the second most popular. 14 countries, among which are the United States or Germany, prefer this elaboration that causes a sensation for the fascination they generate, on occasion, the necessary machines for their preparation. They are increasingly economical and with more functions -all in one like the Ninja Luxe that we analyzed a few months ago They facilitate things very much- and, although it may shock that of taking an espresso, the truth is that … it is rich. Why can it collide? Because, As Spaniards, an espresso is ‘complicated’ of drinking. The reason is that, if we ask for a coffee alone in a cafeteria that does not have Specialty coffeethe most normal is that We are served a torrefactand it is a tremendously bitter and required coffee, which is why it needs more sugar than it already has naturally with the aim of masking the taste. If specialty coffee is used, although it is still strong, it is much better. The third most popular elaboration is filter coffee, and here I am surprised that it is not the most consumed in the United States, the place of the famous ‘office coffee’ and that of the ‘dinners’. It is popular in 12 countries, including South Africa, United Arab Emirates or Bulgaria. And what about Italy? Well, no matter how much coffee tradition they have, in Italy they don’t have coffee. Not yet, at leastsince tradition comes from the title process and some of the most famous elaborations, being one of them, precisely that of American coffee. Because yes, it was not invented in the United States, but for Italian hoteliers that, during the Second World WarThey reduced the espresso coffee with water to be the taste of American soldiers. According to Coffeness, it is the most popular in Italy, but also in South Korea, Argentina, Costa Rica or Uruguay. In Latin America, basically. Turkish coffee is thick and the most attached to a specific place Then there are peculiarities, such as the Irish coffee that conques Ireland, the Turkish coffee they only want in Türkiye, Where is Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanityor the espresso macchiato, which apart from a Stera of Eurovisionis the favorite in Australia, Honduras or the United Kingdom. Where is China? I ask that too, since China in recent years has become One of the main players in the coffee market worldwide. The drink has gone from insignificant to cause fury, so much that they are opening many coffee shops in large cities And it is something that has even become In a claim so that companies like Huawei attract foreign workers. The problem is where they have taken the data from Coffeness, and it is the reason why, although nice and may be very right, We are not facing a rigorous study or anything like that: They clarify that they are based on a search data analysis on Google, so although far from offering definitive data, they can determine what are the most popular coffee elaborations in many countries. And there is the matter: China and its great blockade They enter the equation, preventing that data can be collected. But well, apart from rigor, the results ‘quad’ with what, in many cases, we could expect. And it does not surprise me a little that the most popular elaboration is my dear capuccino.

A soda giant assaults coffee by buying the owners of Marcilla and L’Or. Now they go for the Nestlé cake

by

There are two worlds when we talk about coffee brands. On the one hand, the numerous toasters and small brands that focus on the Specialty coffee. On the other, a handful of conglomerates huge that copied the shelves of the supermarkets. Nestlé, Starbucks, Lavazza Or Jde Peet’s are some of those giants, but a brand of sodas arrives to take a good bite to the increasing, coffee cake worldwide. As? Buying to one of its main competitors: the holders of Marcilla or L’Or. KDP. They are the acronym of Keurig Dr Pepper, one of the world’s largest beverage companies. This is the result of the fusion in 2018 of Dr Pepper Snapple Group, holders of the 7up or Schweppes brand, among others, and of Keurig Green Mountaina powerful and historical coffee brand that revolutionized the monodosis system in the United States in the 90s both in offices and in homes. They are a giant with a assessment of about 43,000 million euros. The group manages more than 125 brands, but talking about coffee, in the United States they have Keurig coffee makers With own capsules, In the pure Nestlé style with the Nespresso. Well, that megagroup has just launched an operation of 15.7 billion euros to buy one of the largest coffee companies in Europe, the Dutch Jde Peet’s. Jde Peet’s. This is the matrix of emblematic brands such as Marcilla, Saimaza and L’Or in the Café World, but also of Senso or Hornimans, among others. Before the purchase, the company’s valuation was about 13,000 million euros and, Despite all the problems of the coffee sector these last months and price increases, They closed 2024 with a growth of 13.2%, exceeding the forecasts of the 1,250 million euros. Coffee Empire. Although in Europe they remained stable, performance in areas such as Latin America, Russia, the Middle East and Africa was what promoted the company during the last year, translating in an increase of 21%. And, precisely, that is what KDP seeks with the purchase of Jde Peet’s: entering a market that they have not exploited, but in which the brands of the Dutch are well established. To fulfill the strategy, KDP will create two entities when the purchase is closed: Beverage CO and Global Coffee Co. The latter seems like a rebranding of what so far was Jde Peet’s. Objective: Nestlé. This purchase occurs in a context of a Strong up coffee price increase In recent months thanks to a Perfect storm due to factors such as bad crops and shortage problems, as well as a World demand growth Coffee, especially in China. And the group they have in the sight is Nestlé. This giant has its top priority in coffee, Representing About 20,000 million euros in 2024 with brands such as Nescafé, Nespresso, Dolce Taste, Bonka and a strategic alliance with Starbucks to create home products (more capsules). As we read in Reutersanalysts already estimate that this new KDP entity will have a business size similar to Nestlé, both with a 20% share in the global market. Although the purchase is there and there is an agreement between both parties, such an operation should be reviewed carefully, but it is expected to be resolved in the first half of 2026.

This is how coffee and green tea have sneaked into the list of allies

by

Before looking at the mobile, before speaking with anyone, there is an almost sacred gesture: prepare coffee. Beyond frightening sleep, that cup could have an unexpected benefit to your health: protect your liver. An invisible enemy. More and more people live with a diagnosis that usually goes unnoticed for years: the fatty liver. A disease that in Spain affects one in four adults, According to the Spanish Association for the Study of the Liver (AEEH). Can’t it be detected before? The point is that the liver accumulates fat silently. At first it does not hurt, it does not bother and does not warn. Only when it advances already becomes more serious problems such as fibrosis, cirrhosis or liver cancer. The accumulation can should be mainly two causes: Alcoholic liver disease, linked to alcohol consumption, or metabolic hepatic stanosis (EHMET or MASLD), related to obesity, insulin resistance and metabolic alterations. And a key actor in the equation: sugar, especially the fructose added in sodas, pastries or ultraprocess cereals. Unlike glucose, fructose is almost exclusively metabolized in the liver, which triggers fat manufacturing. An unexpected ally. Among the classic recommendations – e -evident simple sugars, trans and alcohol fats – science has begun to look at coffee. According to Dr. Javier Escalada, Endocrinologist and director of the Department of Endocrinology and Nutrition of the University of Navarra Clinic, This has explained it for Hola magazine: “Coffee is not only safe, but its consumption is associated with less risk of progression of liver damage. It can even reduce transaminases and protect against hepatecellular carcinoma.” Different studies, collected by Cleveland Clinicthey also demonstrate that coffee helps reduce inflammation and prevents the accumulation of fat in the liver thanks to its antioxidants. As Dr. Jamile Wakim-Fleming pointed out to the same medium, a process called autophagy is activated, a kind of internal cleaning that eliminates damaged cells and protects the organ against fibrosis. Another type of allied cup. In parallel, green tea is also consolidated as another ally. Its catechins and antioxidants help reduce liver fat, improve the lipid profile and exert an anti -inflammatory effect. The evidence is more solid in green tea than in black or red. Of course, with an important nuance: the benefits are observed in traditional infusion, not in extracts concentrated in capsules, which in high doses can damage the liver. A great population study in the Netherlands, Published by Journal of Hepatologyanalyzed more than 2,400 people and found that those who took three or more coffee cups a day had less liver rigidity – a fibrosis indicator – against those who did not consume it. The effect was also observed in herbal infusions consumers. Although not everything depends on a cup. It should be put in context. Neither coffee nor green tea are a magical potion. They work, but within a healthy lifestyle. Doctors insist that the basis of fatty liver treatment is to change the lifestyle. That means following a Mediterranean diet, exercising, no alcohol or tobacco, dominating well and controlling stress. As the nutritionist Isabel Higuera has detailed To the Spanish magazine: “The diet set is more important than food in isolation. In these patients it is key to consume enough fiber, healthy lean proteins and fats, but always adapted to each person.” Beyond the cup. The fatty liver does not warn, but it is not an inevitable destination either. There is no miraculous remedy, although science suggests that small daily habits can make a difference. Among them, something as simple as coffee or green tea, which not only clear the dream, also seem to protect the liver. A reminder that health begins in gestures as simple as what we eat, drink and repeat every day.

The counterculture gen Z does not smell like tobacco or drinks, but to coffee and early dinners

by

Swallow at seven in the afternoon, or even before, it was until recently a gesture associated with tourists from northern Europe or retirees who surprised the waiters for their punctuality. But that costumbrista postcard is transforming. A new generation, the Z, has turned early dinner into an act of modernity: they reserve a table at six, they ask for mocktails instead of cocktails and, in parallel, they reinvent up to the holidays with coffee. CENING EARLY. According to a report from The TimesLondon restaurants record a growth of reserves at 18:00 of 11% compared to last year, and the new national average hour for dinner is 18:12. What was previously an empty shift is now full of young people looking for tranquility, trains on time and an environment where conversation is heard better than background music. A trend that was already settled in the United States. According to The Wall Street Journalrestaurants serve 10% of their customers between 2:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m., twice as much as in 2019. Broadway advances functions at seven in the afternoon and cinemas have replaced night premises with Matinés. Even in New Orleans, where the holidays used to start at one in the morning, the concerts now end before eleven. Why is this hurry for dinner? What began as a postpandemic anomaly has become a structural change. “Those who telework usually start and end before, which naturally leads to dinner earlier,” explained Professor Lucia Reisch, from the University of Cambridge, In The Times. The confinement broke routines and allowed many rethinking the schedules. The idea of getting home at nine o’clock after dinner began to lose attractive. For restorators, this cultural turn opens a new front. Chef Joe Laker, at his local Counter 71 of Shoreditch, London, has summarized it in the same medium: “Many of our guests now live further than before. They want to have dinner early so they don’t have to run to take the last train.” Its £ 50 menu at six in the afternoon is not only a gastronomic change, but a symbol of accessibility: haute cuisine without the requirement of a late closure. Well -being before bustle. The movement is not explained only by logistics. There is an increasing awareness that eating late affects the body. According to Voguethe Z generation is popularizing the intermittent fasting in its 12/12 version, with an ideal dinner range between 17:30 and 19:00. Dr. Joseph Antun has explained it as a circadian issue: “That period of time to digest before the nightlife is activated.” Early dinner is not only digestive: it is preventive. “Going out to eat is becoming a way of socializing without sacrificing other objectives,” said Linda Haden, from Luminina Intelligence, In The Times. That translates into visible habits: More shakes and less cocktails at the tables, Skincare routines Before sleeping and morning training without hangover. Less alcohol, more coffee. Generation Z, As Business has stressed Insiderit relates distantly to alcohol. They prefer “sober” experiences and functional drinks. It is no accident that raves are also mutating. As we have explained in Xatakain cities like Madrid or Barcelona, the Coffee Raves triumph: morning parties in cafes converted into clubs where young people dance with cappuccinos in their hand. What at other times was synonymous with rebellion – excess, Blackout, hangover – is now replaced by an equal countercultural act: stay lucid, dance at dawn and connect with others without substance. “I didn’t want to give up the fun to leave, but I didn’t want to continue turning around something that became ill,” said Lauren Branc, founder of The Oracle Project, In a report on these parties. A consumption with conscience. The background of this transformation is broader than a schedule change. According to a Capgemini report73% of consumers of generation Z prioritize sustainable products, compared to 64% global. Early dinner is just one more piece of a lifestyle where health, planet and pocket are taken care of. In other words, rest, diet, sport and money management have become pillars of everyday life. Eating before is, in that sense, strategic: less expense in posterior glasses, more hours of sleep and more energy the next day. Table for six. “Senter at 18:00 indicates the end of the working day. It is not just about eating, but about recovering time,” Analyst Peter Backman has detailed to The Times. In that seemingly simple gesture – the table at six in the afternoon – generation Z is reformulating the relationship between work, leisure and health. The early dinner, which was once associated with Nordic and retired tourists, now becomes a symbol of modernity. It is not just a menu or clock change: it is a reflection of how young people rewrite their ways of socializing, taking care and projecting the future.

We already know who is going to drink all the coffee that Brazil will not export to the US for the tariffs: China

by

If we do not count the water, coffee would be the most consumed drink in the world. It is for his benefits in the agencyby him Caffeine contribution And even for Psychological effects. And a country that has “discovered” coffee is recently China. In fact, consumption has shot in such a way that, in the United States Tariff Vorágineit has become the lifeguard for the main coffee producer worldwide. Brazil. Short. In recent months, the coffee segment has lived A ‘perfect storm’ that has significantly raised the price of the Arabica and Robust varieties. Reasons? Several: storms and droughts that have affected the harvest, difficulties in transport and a demand that could not be satisfied. The last factor to join has been Donald Trump with his tariffs. The threat of tariffs To the main coffee producers, the table has been flying over, but, as he points out Reutersfinally on August 6, a 50% tariff to some Brazilian products. Currently, Brazil sells about eight million sacks annually to the US, assuming a third of the world demand in the North American country each year in a trade valued at 4.4 billion dollars. And we will have to see what happens now that it will be more expensive to buy that coffee. Approaching China more. Brazil not only sells -Mucho- coffee to the United States: it also exports orange juice and a large amount of vaccine meat, among other products, but China is not really so far from the South American country in commercial terms. In fact, in general, it is its main commercial partner. They buy soybeans (70% of the soy that exports Brazil goes to China), vital iron minerals for the huge steel industry and construction of the ‘Asian giant’, oil, meat, cellulose and other products such as sugar, wood or cotton. In June of this year, Brazil exported 440,034 coffee bags to the US for the 56,000 bags exported to China, but the figure will change from now on because, as Reuters confirms, China has approved 183 new Brazilian coffee companies to export their product to the Chinese market. Thirst for coffee. It is something that will come well to Brazil, but that should also influence The cup price In a China where coffee consumption has shot this last decade. It is estimated that its consumption has grown at double -digit rates since 2010, with a growth Annual average of more than 20% that is well above a world average that barely reaches 2%. In 2023, se They consumed Some 5.8 million bags and it is estimated that this 2025 will rise to 6.3 million, a figure that doubles the consumption of 2019 and, although consumption per person is less than in other countries, the calculation is that there are about 400 million people who drink coffee regularly. And growing. Coffee shops like mushrooms. Most of these new consumers are young adults between 25 and 44 years who turn Series of common characteristics. They are inhabitants of large cities with high levels of both education and income. And that popularity that is gaining coffee is due, in large part, to the opening of Thousands of new coffee shops and coffee shops. It is estimated that that Cafeteria boom in China It was more than 50% these last two years, being Shanghai the world capital of coffee shops with about 9,500 shops. And all this translates into a market whose value Keep growingmoving from 38,000 million dollars in 2023 to 43,000 million in 2024. It could be a Starbucks bar, but it’s from Luckin Coffee Changing tastes. There is Other factors that influence that growth of the industry, such as urbanization, the increase in middle class and western influence, with brands such as Starbucks and national competition such as Luckin Coffee turning the drink into a kind of “trend” between new generations. And the “coffee culture” is also planting its seed. It is estimated that instant coffee and drink consumed with others still predominates, as if it were a combined, but the specialty coffee and the consumption of newly ground grain beverages are also making its way to elbows, becoming with more than 40% of the Chinese coffee market in 2023. In short, the ‘thirst for coffee’ in China not only redefines consumption habits, but can also be economic lifeguards for Brazilian producers before an uncertain international scenario. We will also have to see if US consumers will be willing to pay more for coffee or if, as industry personalities such as the Mandamases of the Lavazza group, that consumer, that consumer is already drowned by the price of the cup.

There are more and more studies that link coffee with living more. And it is very easy to put the leg when preparing that ‘philosopher’ coffee

Numerous myths have accompanied coffee during the last decades, Many related to caffeine. However, in recent years more and more studies are investigating the beneficial properties of coffee in our body. Is being related to a Less probability of dying by cardiovascular diseases or with Benefits for our kidneys. There are still unknowns, such as His influence on the brainbut lately the trend is to study the relationship between coffee and live more. And they are finding green sprouts. Lengthening life expectancy. The idea that coffee reduces the possibilities of premature death is something that has been circulating for a while, but this year has monopolized holders because several are published studies In this regard. Tufts University researchers, in Massachusetts, have published a study in which they have related the consumption of one or two cups a day with a lower risk of death due to any cause and for cardiovascular diseases. Fang Zhang is the main author of the study and considers that it is important that the relationship between coffee and longevity be studied, taking into account that “almost half of American adults drink at least one cup per day.” This data can be extrapolated, since coffee is, behind the water, the most consumed drink in the world. The study. To prove that relationship, the researchers studied data from more than 46,000 American adults over 20 years of age who have been collected in health surveys during the last two decades. From that sample, 7,074 people died, and those deaths crossed with coffee consumption. What did they find? That adults who drank coffee showed a remarkably lower risk of mortality due to any cause. A cup of coffee a day has been associated with a 16% reduction in the risk of mortality. With two to three cups dailythe percentage increased to 17%, and with more cups a day no additional reductions were observed. Along the way, they failed to relate the mortality results due to cancer with coffee consumption -another of the Myths They have circulated. The additives. Now, it is not worth having coffee anyway. Bingjie Zhou is an epidemiologist of Tufts that has participated in the study and comments that “few have analyzed how additives could affect that relationship between coffee consumption and the risk of dying.” What additives do you refer to? To the sugar and the saturated fat that can be in the milk, yes, but also in oil and other additions that some chains implement their drinks. When a small amount of sugar or saturated fat is added (present in the aforementioned whole milk, but also in the cream), that beneficial relationship disappears. Therefore, it would be necessary to have coffee only to give the results that the researchers managed to segment. Caffeine. Zhang states that “the benefits of coffee for health could be due to its bioactive compounds,” but also comments that the key does not seem so much in coffee … as in caffeine. And, if the positive effects of coffee disappear by adding saturated fat or sugar, they are also diluted when coffee is decaffeinated. Decaffeinated coffee drinkers have not shown those differences in mortality rates, a conclusion similar to the one they have arrived Other studies that go further to point that the beneficial is the combination of coffee and caffeine, not only coffee or Only caffeine. A monster or a Red Bull would not be worthultimately. It is on the way to the front. Now, both studies are observational, which means that they are limited when examining the cause and direct effect of coffee. In fact, not being a controlled environment, but a simple survey, admit that the lack of a significant association between decaffeinated coffee and mortality could be due to the fact that the consumption of this type of coffee is much lower. As we say, for now those studies that are connecting coffee consumption with mortality are limited, but that several on the same during the last months indicate an interest in knowing that link. In addition, they are the basis for subsequent investigations that analyze how the multiple components of coffee or the time of the day we take it –that is also being studied– It affects that relationship.
