Passage lQuestions are based on the following passage.
It seems like every day there’S sorne new research about whether our favorite drinks are good for US.(76)0ne day,science says a glass of red wine a day will help us live longer.The next day,maybe not.It seems journalists are pretty interested in wine research and the same might be said for coffee.Now there’S been a lot of research into whether coffee’S good for our health.“the result have really been mixed.”admits Neal Freedman wh0 1ed the coffee study and published his findings in a medical journal recently.“There’S been some evidence that coffee might increase the risk of certain diseases and there’S also been maybe more recent evidence that coffee may protect against other diseases as well.
Freedman and his colleagues undertook the biggest study yet to look at the relationship between coflee and health.Thev analyzed data collected from more than 400,000 Americans ages 50 t0 71 participating in the study.“We found that the coffee drinkers had a modestly lower risk of death than the non.drinkers.”he said.Here’S what he means by“modestly”:those who drank at least two or
three cups a day were about lo percent or l5 percent less likely to die for any reason during the l3 vearS of the study.When the researchers looked at specific causes of death,coffee drinking appeared to cut the risk of dying from heart disease,lung disease,injuries,accidents and infections.
Now,Freedman stressed that the study doesn’t prove coffee can make people live longer.Astudy like this can never prove a cause—and-effect relationship.(77)AU it can really do is to point researchers in the right direction for further investigation.And even if it tums out that coffee is really good for you,scientists have no idea why.
