Coffee shortens life expectancyShutterstock Scientists from South Carolina conducted a study on a group with an impressive sample - it included 33.9 thousand men and 10 thousand women aged 20 to 87 years. During the study, scientists recorded about 2.5 thousand deaths, about a third of which occurred as a result of cardiovascular pathologies. Male coffee drinkers died more often than women, even if they did not abuse the drink. And if they drank more than four cups of coffee a day, then the risk of dying before age 55 increased by 56%. The statistics for women are a little less sad, but in general fit into the same framework: with the abuse of coffee at a young age, the chance of not living up to retirement rose by about half. Previously, researchers found that the popular drink has another unpleasant property:. So coffee addicts are left with fewer and fewer arguments in defense of their favorite drink. Fortunately, the main ones still sound more impressive than the risk of getting stupid and dying young: coffee not only invigorates (right now, not sometime by the age of 55), but also relieves depression.
