Is Coffee Good or Bad for You? (Lifespan, Cancer, CVD, CKD, Diabetes, Pregnancy, + Acrylamide)

I go over a bunch of meta-analyses on how coffee consumption predicts various health outcomes, and longevity in general. I also talk about acrylamide, and if we should be worried about it. Press "show more" to see the study link(s)!

What about decaf? Got this question a few times, so pasting my answer from Patreon:
There are fewer studies on that, but decaf seems to go in the same direction as caffeinated coffee. One nuance though is the decaffeination method--there's even less done on this, but my sense of the general verdict so far is swiss water processed is going to be better than chemically processed.

Phew! I was getting concerned about my coffee consumption, recently, so this is timely information. Thank you, Miche, PhD, for allaying my fears. 😘

Wow so glad I found this channel! What a gem!! It’s so hard to find reliable evidence based information by someone with legit credentials on YouTube. This channel is great! Subbed.

[lyndafjellman]

YAY!! Please do tea next. If possible a comparison of the different types(black vs other types) would be great.

Coffee drinker since 17, am now 69 let’s see that is 52 years. I drink 2-3 cups a day. So far no problems👍

I am here watching your videos because I find them straight forward and intelligent. This one in particular is of import to me. I have been drinking coffee on a daily basis since I was 5 years old. I have continued to drink coffee now into my late 60s. Just over two cups a day in the mornings only. Thanks for this video presentation. You have a new subscriber.

Here I sit this morning watching your video and working on my second cup of what I refer to as my "starter fluid", lol. Great information and thanks for the reassurance!

My partner and I are mostly plant based and we just found your channel. We learn so much from you. Thank you for your brilliant mind.

This really tracks with reality, given how much coffee people drink and we don't see large health impacts because of it. Thanks for taking the time to go through it, appreciated!

When George Burns was told that drinking coffee was a slow way of poisoning himself to death he said " Yes its very slow because I drink it every day and I'm in mid 90s"

I love this content… so amazing someone taking the time to research. I go to the gym and hear bro science all day. It’s like a breath of Fresh air when one of your videos pops up!

Thanks, much relieved! (You pick very interesting themes!)

Well done video on a popular topic, particularly as I love to hear good things about my bad habits! 2 seems to be my limit and well served to have them early in the day. Thanks much!

[michaelchristensen]

Great video, i like the analysis and the links to all the studies. It would be interesting to see the same about matcha tea

[mayaaaa]

great video as always Miche! im sure others have brought it up but Dr. Gregor talks about coffee's autophagy effect in his latest aging research is these findings seem very reasonable

[antoniokinsey]

Thanks. And thanks for your comment you put in the comments about the the decaf.
