The health benefits of coffee are regularly disputed but a new study has provided some good news for caffeine lovers. 咖啡对于健康的好处通常都会受到争议，不过一项最新研究给咖啡爱好者带来了好消息。 Researchers from the National Cancer Institute and the National Institutes of Health have found that drinking coffee is associated with a lower risk of early death. 来自国立癌症研究所和国立卫生研究院的研究者发现，喝咖啡能降低早死的风险。 In fact, they revealed that drinking up to seven cups every day - twice the amount of caffeine recommended by the UK Food Standards Agency – could cut death rates by 16 per cent. 事实上，如果每天喝7杯咖啡，也就是超过英国食品标准署推荐标准的两倍，早死的风险能降低16%。 For the study, the team used data from the UK Biobank, through which 500,000 UK adults aged between 38 and 73 completed health questionnaires, underwent physical examinations and provided biological samples. 为了这项研究，研究小组采用了英国生物样本库的数据，有50万年龄在38至73岁的英国人完成了健康调查问卷，进行了生理测试，并提供了样本。 The researchers asked each person about their smoking and drinking habits, as well as their coffee consumption, including how many cups they drank a day and the type: decaffeinated, ground or instant. |
