Key Points:
- Scientists emphasize that the health impact of coffee depends more on what is added to it—such as sugars, flavored syrups, and heavy cream—than on the coffee itself, which contains beneficial antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds.
- Timing of coffee consumption is crucial; drinking coffee too early or too late can disrupt hormone cycles and sleep quality, negatively affecting metabolism, heart health, and inflammation.
- Black coffee or coffee with minimal milk and no added sugars is considered the healthiest option, as excess ingredients can turn a beneficial drink into a high-calorie, high-sugar beverage.
- Brewing methods and temperature may influence health effects, with some styles filtering out cholesterol-raising compounds and very hot drinks potentially irritating the digestive tract.
