The health benefits of filtered coffee & risks of unfiltered coffee
According to a study, 59 percent drank filtered coffee, 20 percent drank unfiltered coffee, 9 percent drank both types, and 12 percent didn’t drink coffee at all. And it’s clear that filtered coffee wins: “Unfiltered brew was associated with higher mortality than filtered brew, and filtered brew was associated with lower mortality than no coffee consumption,” wrote the study authors. The amount also made a difference. “Among coffee consumers, the reference group of 1 to 4 cups a day of filtered brew had the lowest mortality, and >9 cups a day of unfiltered brew had the highest mortality.”
