Correlation doesn't always equal causation. I've always thought in regard to these studies that coffee drinkers are less likely to drink sugary drinks, since they're drinking coffee or tea, instead. That said I have a few cups every day.
Coffee and tea can be sugary, though. I wonder if they just asked if the participants drank "coffee" or if they divvied it out to what kind, how much sugar, how much caffeine, etc.
@@brandonkrause7308 probably
This screams of selection bias to me too. One has to be extremely careful with claims of causality without proper controls or experiments. Sadly this kind of shallow analysis is all too prevalent today:/
Also people who drink 3 cups of coffee a DAY are probably doing it because they NEED to, they are likely highly active people resulting in good health.
@@brandonkrause7308 Yeah ... five cups a day seemed really high to me too. I'm sure plenty of people do it but I mean, damn, that's a lot of coffee...
The only thing I miss about smoking is going outside and taking a break from people who annoy me. Take your cup of coffee or tea outside- it works just as well to help you decompress.
Me too. It's been over 6 months since my last one. That's a great idea, I'm going to start doing it
That is a great shout, I started smoking again a few months ago after a family tragedy and the peace away from people is important to me. It's hard to replace that solace.
I used to meditate a lot on break. Now I smoke. I detect two correlations between the two
Just being able to take a step outside is all you really need. If you can swing it.
I drink coffee and smoke… those two are like my work rituals, can’t work without em. I’ve been meaning to stop smoking because I think it’s taking a toll on my lung health but it’s just so hard to do.
I for one am in favor of content providers being completely open when their content is an advertisement. I am not opposed to market activity, and understand the need for advertising. I enjoy seeing products I've never heard of before and wouldn't have gone looking for. I hope to continue to see a general trend of content makers clearly delineating advertising activity from primary content. It removes the sleazy used car salesman vibe that existed more in the past, and exists when product reviewers try to bank on being objective when they are also making ads without telling us.
@Bohdan M but everybody knows (and most of us expected from the get go) that you tube premium is a rip off which only puts money in the pocket of one of the most powerful corporations on Earth.
Agreed about clearly delineating content from ads, this totally wouldn't fly on TV in my country and as much as I love Adam I legit was rolling my eyes every time he dropped in the companies name. I just watched a seven minute advert on a platform I pay not to see ads on 😩
@MonsterCraft not everywhere. But yeah, they could piss off a few jurisdictions if they don't admit it somewhere. Often the "paid promotion" alert is buried such that the casual user could miss it. Especially in the past.
Adam is really good at turning an advertisement into an interesting video. Most other content creators just shove raid shadow legends near the start or end of their video lol.
Adam Ragusea is a rare breed. Seriously. The guy has standards and a moral compass that is unbreakable. Nobody's perfect, but in a world where E-girls are selling small containers of their bath water for 30$ a container, its great to have people like Adam around.
From the 2021 Korean study:
"Last, due to the cross-sectional study design, the causality between coffee consumption or physical exercise and the occurrence of cancers could not be determined in the current study. This study was based on the self-reported cancer history; thus, the survival bias could not be excluded."
So, correlation =/= causation. These studies are always very careful in their wording and the scope of their effect for this reason. Maybe the types of people who can afford to form coffee/tea rituals (both in the monetary and time senses) also live longer due to another third variable, such as, y'know, income, job, location, etc.
Also, you don't need to buy sponsored coffee to build daily rituals, you could just, like, meditate for five minutes.
This needs to be higher up. It's exactly what I was thinking during the video (and then after having read the study). I watched the entire thing, because I enjoy Adam's content and am happy for him being endorsed, but the video is very one-sided, especially compared to his regular content
Unrelated, but is that an anarcho-trans flag?
Hygiene Factors shouldn't impact the effect of coffee, so the study could be proven.
This is the kind of comment Adam Ragusea would read and mull over for months before mentioning in in a future video.
The actual conclusions of the study don't matter when you're getting paid big bucks to make a clickbait video to shill for a coffee company lol
This is the exact type of thing he'd mention in the video if Trade wasn't sponsoring the whole thing.
Adam, please, Please,PLEASE consider doing a video on tea in the future. There's a lot of fascinating history behind it, how it's grown and processed, its rich social history, and really interesting flavors and health benefits, including a couple interesting downsides.
Yes! I really love learning about tea, but there's not nearly enough videos out there covering that sort of stuff.

"Coffee drinkers are less likely to die."
I'm gonna say that study probably worded that either differently, or in a way they regret it.
More accurately, coffee drinkers are less likely to get various diseases.
There is the understood "less likely to die in a given timeframe" when talking about mortality.
@@pianoforte611 Yeah, I bet the study probably assumed that the reader would understand that the findings were directly connected to the time constraints within which the study took place. Just a hunch...
@@pianoforte611 but saying "Coffee drinkers are less likely to die" is not the same as "Coffee drinkers are less likely to die in a given timeframe".
@@KAESowicz Do you think the study was claiming that coffee can grant immortality? Or are you just being needlessly difficult? Are you like this in real life too?
It's weird that so many comments are suggesting that the benefits of coffee drinking are more due to socioeconomic status. I doubt anyone who's drinking 6 cups of coffee a day is going to Starbucks 6 times a day. They're probably mostly making their own. And coffee is super cheap when you make it yourself, under 10 cents a cup if you drink cheap crap, and even the fancier coffee in this ad is ~30 cents a cup. Lots of places in the world have even cheaper coffee. Sure, not everyone can afford coffee, but it's a pretty low economic barrier.
My old boss, a very nice but constantly stressed executive actuary, just kept a big thing of Folgers instant coffee under her desk. I worry for her sometimes.
As a Brit can I say that coffee drinkers are savages and the only thing civilized people should be drinking is tea.
Joking I love you guys.
The increased lifespan… is there a study on life habits, general routines and personality types of coffee/tea drinkers compared to those who don’t drink coffee/tea? Thanks just wondering.
Just what i was saying...
Well pretty much my point....
One of the problems i have with such reserches is just how many factors there are to account for... the idea that accounting for the sugars and other junk food people eat with their coffee is enought is insane...
Becuse there's always another way.. another level of reasoning to add
For example
What if the kinds of people who drink coffe without sugar or cigarettes are the kinds of people who generally eat and live healthier...
There are sooooo many factors and habits to consider
What if the kinds of people that drink more cofee do so to wake up... becuee they're heavy sleeper/...love to sleep....
Which is extremly healthy...
What if the people that drink more coffe correlates with more productivity aka make more emoney...
(And we all knor the strong correlation of wealth and health...)
And so on and on and on
The point is that sure coffee could be beneficial but studies like that aren't perfect
And it's good to consider everything
If you want to live well snd grow old.. well then there are better alternatives such as for example snti oxident supplements...
Turmeric fo give an example is an amazing spice with lots and lots and lots of heslth benefits...
(But again there's sooo much to account for...
The difference is that the effects are a lot more noricable quickly and most people don't consume all that much of the spice...)
It's probably the same as why vegans live longer than the avg person. There are other healthy behaviours that those type of people tend to have which allows them to live longer. Meanwhile the avg person don't pay much attention to their health.
Drinking coffee is generally more expensive habit than tea or water.
It aslo not suitable for people with heart issues(even minor ones).
There are plenty of other factors that seems more legitimate explanation than coffee is being good for health.
Honestly hearing that coffee drinkers live longer sounds like something that is probably related to economic reasons
As you need to have the money to afford to buy coffee
And people with more money tend to live longer
I'd be really curious to see a study controlled for income levels
Coffee is obscenely cheap, what are people on about saying that only rich people drink it. People are acting like cancer deciding to back off if you have 5 digits in your bank account is more reasonable than antioxidants being helpful.
Coffee in Korea is a relatively new phenomenon. In the year 2000 the amount of coffeeshops were a shadow of 2010. That trend has only continued to today. Coffee is also more of a social/status thing there with coffee shops opening after the morning rush hour and closing later at night. Take a look at coffee shops in Seoul versus Starbucks in Seoul. You will find that Starbucks tend to be in wealthier areas. Third-wave coffee is had by hipsters, but the same green straw/cup = good is the same over there. I think income would be a significant confounder when it comes to coffee consumption in Korea. Like in North America, old people are more likely to drink instant.
I loved going to Ediya when I lived in Korea!
Exactly, it's similar to the studies showing that people who drink a glass of red wine every day tend to live longer. It's not because of the wine, it's because people who can afford wine every night also tend to be able to afford better healthcare and be in a financial position where they don't have to stress as much.
That's super interesting! But where I'm at in North America (Midwest, USA) even the older folks don't drink instant coffee. At least from what I've seen, it's extremely uncommon.
@Bohdan M if you want good affordable coffee in europe you can go to the netherlands. They import tonnes of sumatera and bali coffee every year but typical dutch they keep all the good things for themselves. the Japanese import another indonesian coffee called toraja coffee, they even invested a lot of money here.
@Bohdan M
For some reason we do have too many brands and varieties of 3 in 1 type instant coffee mix in korea. Some are good, some aren’t. Super convenient for a quick cup. Most are quite sweet. Great for hiking and picnics.
Most koreans are (theoretically) lactose intolerant, though in my case i can drink a cup of caffe latte without any issue (my brother can’t), but those instant mix usually comes with milk alternatives so a lot more people can enjoy them.
Coffee-only instant coffee (powders or granules) normally comes in much bigger packages, for home use. 500g or in kgs. There are a few brands that sell individually made ones (kanu is my fav) but they aren’t cheap.
While being a huge fan of coffee (being Finnish it's almost mandatory) who drinks somewhere 3-12 cups a day, I'd like to mention few negative health outcomes that are associated with coffee and how to deal with them.
1) The caffeine in the coffee can trigger anxiety in people with anxiety disorders. Decaf coffee and/or small amounts is the best solution for this
2) Coffee can have an effect on blood pressure. However, this is not commonly associated with filter coffee, as it seems that the filter paper can remove the agent responsible for this. So french press users, be aware!
3) Coffee can spike up your blood sugar levels. It can cause a spike in blood insulin level when consumed with carbohydrate-containing food (e.g. porridge) that lasts for some time. However, eating some protein with coffee (cup of coffee and a boiled egg for example) can mitigate this. James Hoffman made a good video about this.
4) Caffeine and sleep. While there isn't many negative health outcomes that have been associated with drinking coffee, there are ton of negative outcomes from neglecting your sleep! It is important to know how your body responds to coffee and caffeine, and make sure that you get enough sleep. As Matthew Walker says; "The number of people who can survive on six hours of sleep or less without measurable impairment, rounded to a whole number and expressed as a per cent, is zero." Decaf is a good option, especially as there are now a number of good tasting decaf options
12 cups a day?! Bloody hell, how are your hands not shaking like a Parkinson's patient?!
May I know what's the name of the James Hoffman's video?
@@itikuekuek I think it's the coffee and blood sugar vid, can't remember the title though

@@jeffreyau9751 part of it is decaf, usually it's max 8 cups of regular coffee per day
As much as I like that this video validates my caffeine addiction, I’m suspicious about the correlation between coffee-drinking and longer life. Coffee is not really a necessity - it can definitely _feel_ that way sometimes, but coffee is an expensively-produced luxury that is only able to be grown in a relatively small portion of the globe. Thus, populations with easily-accessible coffee likely already have other socioeconomic factors going for them that contribute to their longer lifespans, such as better health education, more money, and a generally more comfortable standard of living. At the very least, a lot of these factors seem too hopelessly entangled with each other to make a definitive claim that coffee is a contributing factor to a longer average lifespan.
I know this video is an ad, but in my (not particularly valuable) opinion, it doesn’t really hold up to the intellectual rigor and care you give to the rest of your videos - even your other ads. It’s not particularly harmful or misleading, but I get the vibe that perhaps you weren’t able to add your normal amount of qualifying statements, details, or technicalities to this script, for whatever reason. Anyway, I could be wrong, and I’m certainly not going to stop watching your videos. Just wanted to give some honest feedback that I missed your typical attention to detail this time around.
People need to be more like Robert, actually reading the study rather than the warrantless virtue signaling of op.
@@shadow13151 My comment already pointed out a few confounding socioeconomic factors. Health education, diet, free time, work stress, exercise, occupational health hazards, sleep, and healthcare access are all impacted by income level. These factors are all potentially confounded with each other as well; for example, it’s likely that someone working two jobs would lack the free time during work hours to go see their doctor about something, even if they could afford to.
While it is true that the developed world has coffee available in practically every grocery store, it’s far from the cheapest thing on my shopping list. It’s not inconceivable that it would be one of the first things to go if I needed to cut down on the weekly food budget. Alternatively, since I (along with many other regular coffee drinkers) am physically addicted to caffeine, I might purchase more junk food or bulk carbs than healthy foods to offset the cost, or I might purchase caffeinated soda to replace the coffee. Both of these are cheaper and decidedly unhealthier. Not to mention, this video seems to encourage quite a large consumption of coffee daily, which means that to see the purported benefits, you’d have to be able to afford to go through your bags of coffee faster.
The UK study points out that instant coffee has a significantly weaker correlation with longevity than non-instant coffee. They reason that instant coffee has less of the antioxidants and other beneficial chemicals, but they fail to account for the demographics of instant coffee drinkers vs. non-instant, with the former being more likely to be older and/or poorer. They also report that non-instant coffee drinkers are more likely to have a university degree, which _is_ causally linked to higher income. However, this study does not report how it attempts to account for income level, if at all.
The Korean study simply breaks up its sample (people over 40) into three different income levels. While this is a good start, it is unlikely to encompass the relationships between all of the variables I mentioned above. Additionally, the study only looked at the incidence of types of cancers - the result is a correlation between coffee consumption and decreased incidence of only a few types of cancers. They specifically say that they cannot establish a causal link based on their data. Furthermore, it’s improper to draw the conclusion “coffee makes you live longer” from a study that shows a slight preventative effect against just five types of cancer.
My point to all of this is *not* that coffee is bad or classist or whatever. My point is that this video does not hold up to Adam’s usual standard of care given to scientific study. He might call it “journalistic integrity.” The conclusions you can and cannot draw from published data are usually quite nuanced, which is why we have the entire framework of statistics. It is, like, _the_ cardinal sin of statistics to equate correlation with causation, and in reading the studies, you should have seen that none of the language in any of them establishes a causal link between coffee consumption and longevity.
The reality of the coffee-longevity link is probably a result of all of the factors mentioned in all of the studies, plus countless others that nobody has accounted for in their analysis yet. Such is the problem with studying something as vague as “longevity” - there’s so many different factors that go into everybody’s daily lives that it’s simply impossible to understand the cumulative health effects of everything we do.
I’m curious about what was cleared up for you when you read the studies. Close reading of both the Korean and the UK studies doesn’t really support Adam’s conclusion here.
@@DracoOmnia I did read the studies. Could you tell me, based on the studies and their conclusions, which part of my comment is “warrantless virtue signaling?”
@@shadow13151 None of the studies establish causation. Read my whole comment for details; I’m not going to type it all out again.
@@shadow13151 he didn’t read the study but his ego tells him to comment anyway
The antioxidant thing makes the most sense, but I'm willing to bet that there is simply a ton of overlap between people who drink a lot of coffee and having a higher standard of living to begin with (and potentially more active lifestyles).
And, yes, I realize that these studies attempt to isolate all these variables and control for them, but I'm not convinced it's possible to control for every conceivable variable.

Yeah, I was thinking the same.

"Coffee drinkers are less likely to die."
Uh... pretty sure the chance of a person dying is *a hundred percent...*
Only if you don't drink enough, now get to drinking!
But the study was for chance to die of people over 40, over a period of 10years. Which is not 100%

Best comment ever
The most important thing to always remember in these kinds of things is that correlation isn't causation
Funny how nobody can remember anything like this during cold and flu season.
I have a topic I would be really interested in seeing Adam take a crack at. I was once told, many years ago, that humans sometimes crave foods rich in vitamins or minerals they are deficient in. I would be interested to see him tackle this in more detail and prove/debunk it with the help of science experts.
Was what you were told specifically vitamins/minerals? If so that would be interesting to learn, but we do know that humans can differentiate hunger/thirst. So I wonder if this can be broken down along the lines of how our body tells this to out brain?
@@brushnit9212 I've heard that it's cravings for certain foods specifically because they're rich in a certain vitamin or mineral. One of the better studied examples is people that are iron deficient getting cravings for dirt. The cravings go away once the deficiency is fixed. On the other hand, where I first heard this idea was from the account of a person stranded at sea. He mentioned it while talking about how he got a craving for fish eyeballs even though the idea disgusted him but he later learned that they he was deficient in at the time. What made me skeptical of his account is how his body would know that fish eyes had the exact nutrient he needed since it wasn't something he had eaten before.
I've heard that the stereotype of women craving chocolate on their periods is because chocolate is rich in magnesium and other minerals. Menstruating women become deficient in these minerals and thus crave chocolate.
Yeah, like geophagy in pregnant women.
Pink salt definitely tastes better the more dehydrated I am.
There is a difference between the lifespan of those who drink coffee and those who don't. The assumption people make is that there is something in the coffee that causes people to live longer. The reality is that its a far better explanation is that consistent coffee drinkers have a better economic situation which leads to a longer lifespan through a number of factors.
shhh soon they will say drink coffee to make more money
This is my assumption as well but Id need to read the paper
This was also my understanding of it.
The adjust for income in the paper. It's pretty standard to adjust for income, sex, BMI, smoking status, drug use etc. in retrospective analyses like this.
In the first study he linked, it was accounted for.
That's a bold statement to put in a title of an ad video. Let alone an ad for coffee.
@Fone bruh
20 dollars off equals 60 cups of coffee, meaning that it costs 2 dollars per day if you drink 6 cups of coffee per day. That is actually quite expensive. Cheaper coffee can go as low as a few cents a cup.
For all of you pointing out correlation doesn’t equal causation: Read the studies
They did include a bunch of control variables sufficiently to check for what would be a previously known source for a potential OV-bias such as level of income, diet, exercise and more.
Unfortunately, there's still a never ending pool of potential bias in science. The comments are absolutely right to be skeptical, since most published studies are ultimately wrong.
@@puppieslovies where do we draw the line then?
@@JackGames212 it's a hard call. When we have fewer incentives for bias, and we can rule out enough factors that we think we're right at least most of the time, I'd say it's good enough
Currently about 80% of published research is estimated to find false positives because of bias, so let's get that down to below 50%
I guess my mother is a living testimonial to your premise. She's a regular coffee drinker (4-5 cups a day) and she turned 102 last September.

I'm watching this at 2x speed, and my headcanon is now that Adam drank an entire bag's worth of coffee before doing this video.
Also, two things of note: 1) I'm very appreciative that this video is clearly noted as an ad early on (and that it's a food ad and not a tech hardware ad), and 2) I wound up ordering some Alma coffee based on a previous video Adam made and can confirm it is very tasty.

Great suggestion! I turned it down to 1.75x but adam was quite watchable at that speed in this particular video lmfao.😆
Using sponsorblock a bunch of this video was flagged.
I wonder if the tea studies took a look at different types of tea. I would have imagined that compared to coffee, green tea would have a higher correlation with longevity, considering the relatively elevated level of antioxidents and average life spans in Japan...
Adam, since you stated this was an ad, I believe that all viewers should know that this may not represent exactly what you are agreeing with, only selling it. Thank you for making it abundantly clear in the intro, no sarcasm btw. Have a nice day

If you watched the video, Adam notes that the benefits are seemingly due to compounds found within the coffee itself - decaffeinated coffee would have the same effects.
Did you miss the part where he said decaf provides the same antioxidant benefits
@@dc8836 What bothers me is the way he poses the whole video obviously just to make a whole video based on a sponsor… if you really care about the topic why not inform us of the best foods pertaining to antioxidants instead of this
I'm not an expert on any decaffeination process. That said, my understanding of the process is that the second batch of beans doesn't absorb any flavor from the water, but rather fewer flavor compounds can leech out in the first place because the water has already been saturated.
I think it's two sides of the same coin. The water-soluble compounds will leach out of the beans but the compounds in the water will also diffuse into the beans. The end result is and equilibrium where the flavours lost are replaced by the ones diffusing into the beans.
" Correlation isn't causation ", keeps popping up in the comments .
Healthy scepticism at it's finest .
It’s really time for Adam to do a review of electric kettles. I’m an American and I was a bit triggered watching him pour water out of that big saucepan into his French press. Why would anybody who makes several cups of French press coffee a day not have an electric kettle? It’s easier and faster.
Electric Kettles are super simple devices. I doubt there is much to review honestly.
@@EarthB00 Electric kettles, or regular kettles, are very important for pour over coffee. The spout makes a big difference to flow rate and the like, and having things like temperature control is pretty nice.
I have seen Americans who boil water in a microwave....... disgusting.
@@burhanbudak6041 I have an electric kettle, but I have to ask.. why does it matter? hot water is hot water
@@oxybrightdark8765 needs a good boil and you get some of the iron from the kettle. I can't think of anywhere in the world where microwave water is accepted. Have you seen the american tea viral video?
I noticed from your demonstration that you boil a pan of water to make your coffee. If you're drinking mulitiple cups a day, you might want to invest in a kettle. Every brit has one in their house, it spans socio-economic and ethnic/cultural lines - even families who didn't necessarily grow up here and immigrated. It's as common as having a fridge. It takes literally 2 minutes and is more economically friendly because you can boil the exact amount you need and not waste energy heating up the pan and the heating element is directly in the water. I am never not shocked when I see a person from north america boiling water on a stove like it's 1800's.
I've heard that in the US, kettles take quite a lot longer to boil than the UK, because of something to do with power usage limits. So I think part of the reason it isn't so common is that it's not a whole lot faster in a kettle than on the stove. It still seems strange not to have one though. Especially when US houses are generally so much larger that they aren't as concerned with saving counter space.
ua-cam.com/video/nbxQ4vMsMwg/v-deo.html
Yes...
@@thegrinderman1090 The main reason people in the US don't own as many kettles is that few in the US drink real tea. Most tea consumed in the us is sweet tea which is usually sold pre-made in bottles. Coffee is by far the more popular choice in the country, and is usually made through a drip pot.
@@Katrik3571 I don't drink tea either, and only drink 3 or 4 cups of coffee a week (kettle into aeropress), but I still use a kettle at least once a day. Boiling water for cooking pasta or rice mainly - which is going to be cooked in a pan on the stove anyway, but it's much faster to use the kettle for the initial boil. Other members of the household, none of whom drink much tea, also use the kettle several times a day. You save probably 4 minutes for 1 litre boiled in comparison to a pan. That 4 minutes once a day, multiplied for a year, you've saved an entire 24 hours for a small device which cost £15. And you save on energy costs too. Imagine how it is for households who all drink 6 cups of tea a day...
Most Americans do not make coffee like that, drip or cup maker is the standard.

I would like to see one of these studies that normalizes for income, the first study reports their distribution of income amongst participates in each intake category and it would appear that as income distribution skewed higher so did coffee intake. I feel like this is one of those instances where not taking into account income essentially nullifies the entire study as how much money you make/how you make your money is much more likely to affect your longevity than coffee consumption. This sort of trend in using studies like this worries me a lot.
Classic correlation is not causation.
Erik, you said it perfectly! Socioeconomic disparities obviously have an impact among other factors which is why topics like this are infuriating when they are simplified bc they are not so easy.
They do adjust for income: "Crude and adjusted models (adjusted for age, sex, income group, BMI, smoking, alcohol consumption, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, stroke, ischemic heart disease histories, nutritional intake (total calories, protein, fat, and carbohydrate intake), and coffee consumption or physical exercise) were used".
They do. Try reading it before you make your little knee jerk comment.
you really need to take time out of your gated community to see what the actual socio-economical issues of poor people are lol, coffee is COVERED under fucking food subsidies in most 1st world countries, but im glad you can use my situation to posture
Bro lowkey looks like Grisha Jeager’s attack titan 😳
I'm living happily without coffee. I'm not convinced coffee directly improves longevity, there must be a confounding variable.
Many viewers in this comments section have theorized that daily coffee drinkers, for a variety of reasons, tend to be wealthier and enjoy a more comfortable standard of living than the average person. This is probably a pretty important factor in determining one’s lifespan. I’ve also seen people guess that caffeine helps people avoid preventable accidents by increasing one’s alertness, and another guess that the diuretic effect of coffee makes people pee out more sodium, which, when consumed in excess, is a risk factor for heart disease. There is probably a grain of truth to many of these theories, including the one Adam posits, but I think it would be really difficult to test every single hypothesis for this kind of thing - the different variables are just too entangled with one another.
It’s the antioxidants if you watched the video
If I HAVE to drink coffee every morning then I don’t want to live longer
I’m with you pal, our hatred of coffee unites us!
If you still need a caffeine kick try loose leaf teas like gunpowder tea(the rolled leave pellets resemble black powder no gunpowder is actually used) the tea itself is pretty tasty with a little bit of sugar or use honey.
Or try a nice black tea like chai.
If I have to face my mornings uncaffeinated, I don't really want to live all that long.
Does the data compare the socioeconomic status of coffee drinkers?
Adam, you mentioned tea has similar effects, I was wondering if there's a tea equivalent to Trade Coffee. I'm not a fan of coffee myself (taste is okay, but can't stand the smell, which makes it hard to enjoy the taste), but my family are a bunch of huge tea junkies, and we have long wanted some more variety in our tea cabinet.
Yes, my family has a cabinet almost entirely devoted to tea. Two shelves of tea itself, one shelf with stuff to put into tea (honey of a few kinds, if I'm feeling adventurous, agave nectar or mint syrup, a tin of sugar cubes, etc), and a shelf that contains tea preparation and storage tools, including two large insulated bottles with a pour spout, three thermoses for tea on the go, a few mugs of varying sizes, and of course tea infusers of a few styles for loose-leaf tea (personally not a fan, but my family likes it so it's there). The reason I say "almost entirely" is because it's also where we store the hot cocoa stuff, but that takes up maybe a third of the "tools" shelf.
Nothing can beat Trade™ coffee. I suggest you throw all the tea you have and get some Trade™ coffee.
White you're at it, also get some Ritual™ vitamins.
Interesting video! I think in Germany / Europe, I wouldn't be allowed to do a video like this with an advertisement in it. Here, every health related advertisement for food is not allowed, unless the European Food Safety Authority allows it. And for coffee, the EFSA didn't allow any claims yet.
For example, the EFSA didn't allow the claim “Antioxidants in coffee helps protect our cells against free radicals.” with the reason “non-compliance with the Regulation because on the basis of the scientific evidence assessed, this claimed effect for this food has not been substantiated." in 2011.
Yeah I wasn't a fan of the pitch of this being a health advertisement. That said I checked out the website he advertised and rather than doing their subscription service I just bought a coffee it recommended for me lol
One needs to be extremely careful comparing correlation and causality. Suppose you look outside and see that everyone is carrying umbrellas, then it rains. Did the umbrellas cause the rain? No. Suppose you look at a dataset and see that coffee drinkers live longer. Is that because coffee causes long life? Maybe? Adam (who I love and will continue to watch!) was not being careful enough in distinguishing correlation (stuff happening at the same time) and causation (which in general requires a theoretical framework).
I’m willing to bet that the studies Adam references for his conclusions state the theoretical framework in more depth and likely more technically than would be popular on UA-cam. Also, I’m biased because I work for Starbucks, so I guess I too am selling coffee 🤣
exactly, maybe the people who drink coffee/more coffee or more likely to for ex. have higher incomes
Yeah, studies have shown a correlation between light alcohol drinking and longevity but the cause is likely that light drinking is so pervasive in society that the group that abstains entirely from alcohol has a disproportionate number of people with underlying health concerns that motivate not drinking. A similar relationship is feasible for coffee, plenty of people are advised to avoid caffeine by their doctors. The anti-oxidant hypothesis is also something we should be skeptical of, largely because claims of anti-oxidant benefits are greatly overexaggerated and excess anti-oxidant consumption may actually increase instances of some cancers. Like most things in health the answer is never simple.
Looking at the studies you have linked in the description, specifically the Korean one, you refer to it as one involving both tea and coffee. I didn’t see anything regarding tea when I read it, so was wondering where exactly they discussed that, as someone who drinks tons of green tea. I would assume they would work similarly due to high antioxidant count, but given that different polyphenols dominate coffee vs green tea I’m interested in reading more on the subject.
Lol, I saw that there was an answer to your comment and really wanted to see whether someone found what you were looking for or not.

@ethereal ? Clowned myself because I was looking through the study itself, since Adam said it dealt with both tea and coffee? Guess I should have assumed the study he said dealt with tea had nothing to do with tea.
Anyone who drinks that much coffee is just too damn busy to have time to die. This is my theory and I am sticking with it. I personally would be ok with doing far less and dying sooner, but also some people believe life span is directly related to metabolism, and doing nothing keeps that low. Rate-of-living theory is pretty cool too.
Also insanely useful when cooking pasta, don't have to wait for water to boil on the job when you can just do it in the kettle. I've heard it saves money? That's what my dad told me but I'm ready to hear that's not true lmao

I count sleeping less as living longer, change my mind.
Sleeping less than 8 hours per night is proven to increase risk of cardiovascular disease, stress, Alzheimer’s, concentration, memory and a whole host of other pretty bad things :(
Take a look into the research - or there’s a great popular best selling research book on the topic. “why we sleep”.
Black Coffee is great for you as long as your not in taking the coffee past around 4pm - then it starts to affect sleep (sleep quality too).
@@themadmage924 plus your effectiveness and quality of life is diminished if you skimp on sleep. If you went from sleeping 8 hours a night to only 4, your days are "25% longer." And if your life is only 75% as long as a result, that means you die at 55 instead of 74. And all lives are not the same. Diminished sleep is associated with health problems, so you might think "ah the years from 55 to 74 suck anyway," if you short yourself on sleep, the "poor health years" just get shifted to before you die.
i mean, you did say it was an ad after all, so kudos on accuracy!
Ah good, decaf counts. I'm sensitive enough to caffeine that it messes with my sleep and there's a body of research linking sleep deprivation to an increased risk of dementia. I want to live longer, but with my mind intact, so thanks for introducing me to Alma Mr. Ragusea. I love their Slumber light-roast decaf
I was really disappointed to find out that this video was just a 7 minute long ad
Thank you for including the opposing research in an ad.
Looking forward to a tea episode in the future hopefully!
thank you for telling me out the gate that this was an ad so I could turn it off
I'm downloading this video to show to evryone who questions my coffee drinking habits!!! Thank you so much!
Or, hear me out, correlation is not causation and there’s a shit ton of health issues that prevent you from drinking FIVE cups of coffee after your 30s without an issue. It exacerbates stomach issues, and heart and BP issues. If you’re over 40 and capable of drinking 5 cups of coffee without feeling like you want to die, then your cardiovascular system is god tier.
Are you talking about caffeinated? Because, as the video stated, you get the same benefits from decaf. At 2 mg vs. 95 mg of caffeine per cup, I'm sure it won't exacerbate heart, stomach, and blood pressure issues.
Well i mena 5 is nothing...
When i was a bit younger...
In my teenage years that is
I nearly "od'd" on coffe....
I mean Ever since i remeber my self i had insomnia and heslth issues
Sleep issues....
So not the bezt example...
But 4+ cups of string coffe in a hour wss nothing
Say it louder!
Interesting information. I really value the small break found in grabbing a cup of coffee.
I really like this video the production quality is top notch
If you want to drastically improve the taste of your coffee you should get a burr grinder. Burr grinders produce a more uniform particle size distribution which leads to less bitterness and astringency in the final product. Of course, you do you, drink whatever you like, but there is a huge rabbit hole related to coffee brewing at home if you want to go down it :-).
This video feels like you're implying, "click the link to live longer", even though you didn't say it outright.
Yeah there is not nearly enough criticism over this video. I think it's pretty easy to see how this video manipulates the science to sell product. Kinda scummy ngl
Tea is also rich in antioxidant, You could have mentioned that.
Trade doesn't sell tea
Probably would, but as he said literally at the very start of the video, it's an ad for Trade coffee. If they sold tea, I'm sure he'd mention that.
But it's also important to note that the studies he references are about coffee, not tea.
He did mention that tea is associated with the same benefits as coffee. As he just before that talked about how antioxidants play a part in it, most normal people would automatically assume that tea has those same components that bring the similar benefits.
Video wasn't sponsored by a tea vendor though.
This isn't a tea video. You could have remembered that.
I like how explicit you are about the fact it’s an ad and what you should take from the video because of that
Holy crap. Like 5 minutes out of the 7 minutes of this video is an ad.
I feel clickbaited.

So is the hotness of spice and the coolness of mint. That’s the stupidest reasoning I’ve ever heard.
@@stephi7260 Not forgetting garlic
@@stephi7260 The joke is that it was *intended* as a defense mechanism. Key word, intended. As you can see by how much we use mint, coffee, and spicy stuff, it backfired in a way, as they all ended up being desirable to a group of hairless apes.
Though overall a positive actually, since we actively grow and protect all those plants. A lot. So the defense mechanism failed at its intended purpose (the joke being made by Emircan), AKA keeping things from eating the seeds and such, but then it looped around to failing so hard, us hairless apes started growing a ton of those plants.
This man can make a literal ad video and make it watchable.
You, sir, are the king of ad integrations. Fantastic work!!
The number one rule of social science is that correlation does not equal causation. Two things being correlated does not at all mean that one thing causes the other. You can see this for yourself if you google "random correlations." You will see things like "per capita cheese consumption" being coorelated with "number of people who died by becoming tangled in their bedsheets." You can't just look at a correlation and assume that one causes the other. You have to prove it
Adam: if you’re going to drink it every day, get the good stuff!
Me: gladly
My bank account: NOOOOOOO
Thats the whole point, people often don't drink coffee and will die sooner for the same reason - being poor )
@@Acid31337 haha I guess, I’m currently also quite poor. But i just love coffe, so I would rather spend 50€ a month on coffee than 50€ on medical bills
Half of this video is straight up advertising. I know you need to pay the bills Adam, we're all just trying to keep the lights on, and I appreciate that you opened with "this video is an ad" but I can't say I'm impressed.
Never been much of a coffee drinker, but I absolutely love the smell of freshly roasted coffee.
You convinced me Adam. I’m gonna give coffee the old college try finally.
You were right about Magic Spoon, wonderful product. Love the content.
I literally can't drink that much coffee due to preexisting stomach issues. Heavy coffee drinkers are a self-selecting subset of humans who not only have access to that much coffee, but also are baseline healthy enough to (literally) stomach it in the first place.
I think it also has something to do that coffee is a diuretic and makes you pee more. Peeing makes you get rid of extra fluid and sodium (which we eat a lot) so it helps with high blood pressure (which we collectively suffer from more because of the sodium).
then I could simply drink a lot of water
@@franciscofigari6171 could do that too. Should probably do that. These studies are usually comparing non-coffee drinkers to coffee drinkers.
So the unanswered question is what are these people drinking instead of coffee? Usually nothing. Or something else other than water. I.e. Coke, sprite, vitamin water, tea, juice etc.
Nothing wrong with tea but considering how often people brew tea. They are not drinking their recommended 3liters per day via tea. Fact is that most people are also chronically dehydrated. So please prioritise drinking water before coffee or anything else.
Just came across your knife sharpening video and enjoyed that a lot. This is also great fun and your last name gave me a smile as I spent a year in the town of Ragusa - ok, missing the e - on Sicily. It was a marvelous experience, and I learned to appreciate espresso and many of the Italian coffee variants. Cheers to long life - l'chiam
As an Egyptian red tea and coffe are my drinks of choice (I'm actually addicted to caffeine that I can't function without my morning caffeine shoot "tea or coffee")
however most Egyptians drink a ton of sugar with tea and coffee. Me, I used to do that in the past (like 8 years ago) but I trained myself to cut sugar out of my drinks and foods bit by bit
mow I drink black coffee and tea with no sugar (actually adding sugar is rebulsive to me now)
I belive every one can do it, it was pretty easy
just do it gradually and on a long period (if you add 2 tea spoons of sugar for example, add one and a half and do it for a few months, then one, then half, and so).
cleverly clickbaited commercial in disguise
Adam, I know that you enjoy the coffee you're currently drinking and know this, but please invest in a burr grinder. It's so easy to adjust the flavor profile with one and get even more out of your coffee. Something cheap like the Baratza Encore is plenty good and would definitely improve the quality of your coffee.
Though, I guess I'm just a guy not in his kitchen not with a camera, so you really shouldn't listen to me...
170 is cheap in the coffee enthusiast world?? i knew i was just sucking down caffeine compared to the serious people, but fuck me that's more than half of my kitchen tools combined
@@jakeb6703 Yeah, the deeper you get into coffee the deeper the hole in your wallet gets... $100-$500 grinders would be considered entry-level for enthusiasts, but a good endgame pick for most people. Good high-end grinders for enthusiasts these days could start at as low as $500 but can go up to the thousands...
@@jakeb6703 You could go for a hand grinder like the timemore c2 which is about $50, pretty much the minimum amount of money you need to spend to get a "good" burr grinder.
Get a moccamaster as well. Best machine I ever bought.

James Hoffmann is a great source of easily digested information on coffee. I greatly enjoy his youtube videos.
Coffee makes my heart race and gives me anxiety plus i cant get rem sleep. Id imagine the stress/anxiety it gives me is a negative on my health
I can’t even begin to imagine how there are people that drink 5+ cups, do they just get used to it like a drug, dependent on it?
@@swiggityswoogity8085 It is literally a drug, so yes, eventually people don't even feel it but still need it to function like normal.
Consuming less than 400mg of caffeine/day won't make you feel anxious or any of the bad effects. Caffeine in safe amounts is good. It just depends on your tolerance, I guess. Maybe give coffee another shot, but in small amounts, and see how your body would react to it.
I’m in the exact opposite camp, I can literally down 4 cups of coffee and go to sleep 30 minutes later, does nothing for me.
Coffee,dark chocolate, red wine. Every few years people say it’s healthy, but we later find out its not true.
There are also foods that we find to be healthy, and end up actually just being healthy. It's best to look at the scientific literature and not just "what people say."
Yeah and they say water is also healthy but drink enough glasses and you'll go bye bye.
Not really. The food science behind those three things is fairly well established in favor of them being healthy.
The reason things like that happen is because, like Adam said, a minority of studies with poor controls get published, and then news networks pick it up because they know it'll get clicks.
This is why it's important for people to look at the actual literature on something as opposed to whatever their favorite news source says.
@@Thuazabi I will say though that if you do not know the field very well, interpreting the findings might not always be feasible. Sometimes you need to understand the findings in the context of the field. My field of study is math and linguistics, so when a new study comes out I can understand the context and what the findings imply and mean, but if I were to read a nutrition paper, I might misinterpret. I do think there's value in science being abstracted to something someone can apply into their own life (for nutrition at least), but of course there are many potential problems there too, considering as it stands the education system doesn't do a good job of explaining academia, hence the anti-intellectual movement currently in the US.
I'm just glad I know a good amount of people that cover a good variety of fields, so I can always ask for their unbiased opinion.
Trade is definitely extremely happy with this advertisement
Also interesting to note that a number of studies (some conflict) may indicate that milk products bind with either antioxidants, polyphenols, or both and thus reduce the positive effects of coffee, tea, or high antioxidant fruits like blueberries.
Let's assume something in coffee is prolonging life spans... what does that mean for someone like me, who doesn't drink coffee regularly? Should I think about drinking coffee and build a caffeine addiction for the promise of increased life expectancy? Does decaf coffee provide the same benefits?
Adam claims in the video that decaf coffee also has the same benefit as the caffeinated variety. I would contend that if you want the proposed benefits without the coffee you could either get your antioxidants from other sources or find another 15 minute activity you really enjoy.
Decaf coffee should provide all the same antioxidants. Also consider other sources like green tea for drinks, or just many vegetables that contain antioxidants. One thing to consider though, is that antioxidants have shown negative effects for smokers, or people with a history of smoking, so best to avoid if that applies to you.
It's complete bullshit. Some teas have more antioxidants. Don't get a caffeine addiction my friends all need coffee to function i can function just fine.
Great to know. I will have to up my intake. Have you tried Island Roasters coffee? Small roasters in New Smyrna beach. They only nut fair trade beans. You need to get a bur grinder to get the best from your beans.
Why coffee sponsorships makes youtubes say coffee drinkers live longer
I do mine black, and I use to drink up to 6 cups a day ages 21-28, lately I've eased down. I dilute it with water cold to be exact. For one it adds volume, second it lowers the temp slightly so I can drink on the go. For work, it made more sense. My co workers would be blown away and always tell me it was bad. I'd always explain it wasn't, but reminded them almost any thing is OK used moderately. So I would break it down like this: coffee 25% hot water 25% , then I add 25% cold water after, then the last 25% was a mix of space for spillage and room to play around with ie. more water or coffee. I don't drink soda or high sugar drinks. Just water, coffee, beer and good scotch/whisky/wisky. Just have to find your balance. I love all these info bits about positive coffee drinking gives me validity, cheers.
Adam makes some good points, it's just difficult to take what he says seriously when he's also being paid to sell us coffee. I don't think he's saying anything he doesn't believe, and I understand that sponsorships are an important part of UA-cam, I just think this one was a little too on point.
This is one of the most well documented correlations on the planet. The reason its so easy to say is because there's so much overwhelming evidence for it. Honestly I'm surprised anyone hasn't heard of this.
My mom is concerned that I drink coffee. Which is understandable since I'm only 14😬
Thank you Adam for another wonderful and informal video👍
I would most certainly be worried about a 14 year old drinking caffeinated coffee, because caffeine is an addictive drug (literally), and children, especially pubescent children, are usually pretty terrible at managing addictions responsibly (hell, most adults are bad at that too). If you drink decaf then there is no need for worry, of course.
Yeah I should be careful. I'll give decaf a try as well.
Thanks for that as well .😁
Adam, as a brit, I URGE you to get a kettle. One that you plug in at the wall. It will change everything.
If you’re interested in decaf look into sugar cane decaffeination. Also called ethyl acetate decaffeination. It’s a very popular process in Colombia where sugar is grown on coffee farms and the process is a sort of symbiosis, using what is locally available to create a new product and I think it tastes the best.
The selling of the sponsor was just redeculously to much
Love your videos although I feel this was a bit heavy on the ad and didn't go deep enough into the science but still very enjoyable and watchable overall
Great video. I heard facts like this from a few videos like Healthcare Triage and it blew my mind. Whenever I mention that coffee is actually quite good for you and better even than tea, people frown and scoff at me (especially tea drinkers). A lot of people are still completely convinced it's an unhealthy vice. I know people who try so hard to cut it out of their diet like it's cigarettes and I'm like "why bother if you really like it?"
Thanks Adam. You are my favorite food scientist.
Coffee also makes you more alert, which helps a lot with the whole "being less likely to die" thing everyone is talking about. It wrecks my sleep though.
Tea is way healthier than coffee and also for waking you up from sleep
Source? Multiple things can be healthy.
I've always thought is a combo of slowing down to enjoy the Joe AND the antioxidants it provides.
6 non-decaf coffees a day sounds absolutely insane to me.
