Researchers have found that drinking several cups of coffee daily appears to lower the risk of suicide.
July 25/New York/Science World Report -- Researchers at Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) have found that drinking several cups of coffee daily appears to lower the risk of suicide in both men and women by nearly 50%.
"Unlike previous investigations, we were able to assess association of consumption of caffeinated and non-caffeinated beverages, and we identify caffeine as the most likely candidate of any putative protective effect of coffee," the lead researcher Michel Lucas, research fellow in the Department of Nutrition at HSPH, said in a press statement.
