Massive Study Finds Coffee Has a Surprising Side Effect
A major international study has found that regular coffee consumption significantly alters the gut microbiome, changing the balance of bacteria in the digestive system. Researchers observed distinct microbial differences between coffee drinkers and non-drinkers, with similar effects seen in both caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee consumers. The findings suggest naturally occurring compounds in coffee, rather than caffeine alone, may influence gut bacteria. While the study highlights a strong association, scientists stress it does not prove cause and effect. Further research will determine whether these microbiome changes translate into measurable long-term health benefits. WooGlobe Ref : WGA660892

Researchers have found most adults can safely consume up to five cups of coffee per day, which is about 400 mg of caffeine, without increasing risk of cardiovascular disease.
