Almost half a million Britons enrolled in the UK Biobank study were divided by their coffee intake:

❌Those who drank none
☕️☕️☕️Those taking up to three cups
☕️☕️☕️☕️Those drinking more than three cups a day

The study revealed moderate coffee drinkers — up to three cups a day — were 12 per cent less likely to die over the study’s 11-year period

They were also 17 and 21 per cent less likely to die of heart disease or stroke, respectively, according to the study

🔴Among the coffee drinkers, a fifth preferred decaffeinated, a quarter drank ground beans and just over half opted for instant coffee

The health benefits of coffee, however, only applied to ground beans, and were not seen among the instant coffee drinkers

🗣️"While ground coffee was associated with decreased all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, we did not find a statistically significant association between regular instant coffee consumption and health outcomes," the scientists write in their study
