Long-term use of caffeinated products does not pose a risk of premature death, even reduces that of heart disease. So far, research has yielded conflicting results on the subject.

At the Autonoma de Madrid University, Spain, a study was conducted among 84,214 women and 41,736 men for the period 1980-2004. Coffee consumption (up to six cups a day) is not associated with a lethal risk, on the contrary, even lower mortality has been found among women, albeit to a small extent. No association was found between coffee intake and death from malignancy.

The effects of caffeine and other stimulant ingredients in coffee have always been of interest in terms of health effects. It has also been found that it can be a source of antioxidants and other substances that protect us against free radicals with a key role in a number of diseases such as cancer, coronary heart disease. In January this year coffee consumption was found to be associated with a lower incidence of ovarian cancer. For pregnant women, the data are contradictory - some associate caffeine with the risk of premature birth, others deny the existence of such.
