A new study published in June 2025 in The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism suggests that MODERATE coffee consumption due to the caffeine it contains could be beneficial for preventing diseases such as coronary heart disease.

The study examined data from 360,000 people aged between 37 and 73 years, with 99.5% of the people aged between 40 and 69 years old.

The results of the study showed that compared to people who consumed no or very little caffeine per day (up to 100 mg), people who drank 3 cups of coffee per day or 200 to 300 mg of caffeine per day had a reduced risk of developing new cardiometabolic diseases.

Previous studies by different scientists have positively assessed the potential benefits of coffee, tea and caffeine, but their role in preventing cardiometabolic diseases had not been established.

The results suggest an association rather than a causal relationship, but the association is very important for health because people with cardiometabolic disease may have twice the risk of mortality than those without cardiometabolic diseases.

Also, those with cardiometabolic comorbidity may have up to a 7-fold higher risk of mortality from all causes.

The amounts of caffeine found in drinks and foods are as follows

Coffee, 75 to 100 mg per 170 ml cup, 40 mg per 30 ml espresso

Tea, 30 to 50 mg per 170 ml cup of black or green tea

Most colas (except “caffeine-free”) – 45 mg in a 330 ml drink

Energy drinks, usually up to 200 mg per 330 ml drink

Energy gels, usually 60 to 100 mg

Gums, 40 – 80 mg per gum

Pills, 100 – 200 mg per pill

Chocolate, 10 – 58 mg per 30 gr.
