One Extra Cup of Coffee a Day May Help Avoid Weight Gain. Here's Why.
Coffee is well recognised as having a positive impact on long-term health.
0.12kg over four years??
How is that not within the margin of error?
it was a cohort study, they had over 200k participants who filled out the study form, so even through their was a low effect size the confidence can be quite high.
120 grams over 4 years.
That is, what, an ounce a year? Mindblowing shit.
I know the study isn't anything to get excited about, but preventing weight gain is itself a worthy goal. It's so easy for the weight to creep up on you.
Truly it is. Trying to get that added weight back off when your over 40? Every miniscule advantage is appreciated.
So they based this study on people who exclusively drink instant coffee?
I mean, not to be that guy, but does anyone actually like instant coffee? How would the results differ in a real world scenario? You know, with real coffee? I do not even care if you prefer drip-filtered or cappuccino or soy latte with tripple choc shot and papaya slices, but fucking instant coffee?
My family loves instant coffee and shuns regular coffee. Just one more thing that makes Thanksgiving dinner with them unbearable.
Um?
Everyone drinks instant coffee, it’s the same shit.

From the article:
First, the findings represent an association, not causation. This means the study does not prove that coffee intake is the true reason for the weight change. Rather, it shows the two changes were observed together over time.
I know for me itll be because ill be shitting all day long with 2 cups of coffee in me.
You know what though legit 120g is small enough it genuinely could be attributed to an extra pooping.
I guarantee I can "drop" more than 120g after a cup of morning coffee. Checkmate scientists.
Coffee makes me incredibly hungry (any caffeine does). This would backfire on me soooooo bad.
I have to wonder if an extra cup of any liquid per day would help avoid weight gain. You hear so much about people misinterpreting thirst as hunger - they eat instead of drinking.
