A daily cup of coffee may carry the benefit of a reduced risk of dying, according to new research published in the Annals of Internal Medicine.

These individuals were observed for an average of seven years, with follow-ups starting in 2009 and ending in 2018.The findings showed that those who drank between 1.5 and 3.5 cups of coffee per day were 16 percent to 21 percent less likely to die from all-cause mortality than non-coffee drinkers.Furthermore, it was determined that even people who opted for sugar or artificially sweetened coffee still benefited from a lower rate of death.Instant, ground and decaffeinated coffee did just as well in trials.The so-called “sweet spot”, the study revealed, appeared to be between 2.5 and 3.5 cups of coffee per day.

As to what exactly gives one's daily cappuccino or espresso such a health kick, the following properties have been identified in caffeine:
Reduced insulin resistance;
High amounts of antioxidants;
Lignans, associated with disrupting growth and spread of cancer cells' and
Chlorogenic acid, responsible for lowering blood sugar levels
