About this episode
The US Food and Drug Administration recently expanded its list of healthy beverages to include coffee. Independent peer-reviewed research shows that drinking coffee is linked to many significant health benefits, notably longevity. Coffee is the source of 70% of Americans' caffeine intake, up 15% since 2010-11, according to an ongoing study of 49,000 US adults. The latest update finds that fewer individuals consume caffeinated beverages, and those who do opt for stronger doses.
Joining us today is Melissa San Miguel, spokesperson for the National Coffee Association. The association has launched a new B2C website that provides easy access to evidence showing that coffee drinkers tend to live longer, healthier, and happier lives. The website URL is “ABOUTCOFFEE.org.”
