Drinking between two to four cups of coffee every day appears to reduce the risk of suicide in men andwomen by 50 per cent, according to a new study.

Researchers from the Harvard School of Public Health reviewed data from three previous US studiesand found the risk of suicide amongst adults who drank several cups of caffeinated coffee on a dailybasis was about half that of that compared to those who drank decaffeinated coffee, very little coffee orno coffee at all.

The study, of 200,000 men and women, examined data which outlined their caffeine consumption bothcoffee and non-coffee sources including tea, caffeinated soft drinks, and chocolate.

Fee l the buzz: Those who drink tw o to four cups of coffee e very day have a 50 per

cent less suicide risk compared to those who drink decaffeinated coffee, little

coffee or no coffee, according to new research

However for the majority, coffee was the main caffeine source and over the average 6 and-a-half yearassessment period, there were just 277 deaths from suicide.

Unlike previous investigations, we were able to assess association of consumption of caffeinated andnon-caffeinated beverages, and we identify caffeine as the most likely candidate of any putativeprotective effect of coffee,' said lead researcher Michel Lucas, research fellow in the Department ofNutrition at HSPH.

Caffeine works by stimulating the central nervous system but may act as a mild antidepressant byincreasing production of certain 'feel good' neurotransmitters in the brain, including serotonin,dopamine, and noradrenaline.

This could explain why previous epidemiological studies have found a lower risk of depression amongcoffee drinkers in past, the researchers reported.

In spite of the findings, the authors do not recommend that depressed adults self-medicate by increasingtheir caffeine consumption as an increase could result in unpleasant side effects.

Despite the findings, depressed adults are advised not to self-me dicate by drinking

more coffee than usual. A previous s tudy found an increase in suicide amongst

those who consumed more than eight cups a day (posed by model)

Overall, our results suggest that there is little further benefit for consumption above two to three cups a

day or 400 mg of caffeine a day, the authors wrote.

The researchers didnt observe any major difference in risk between those who drank two to three cupsof coffee per day and four or more cups a day, most likely due to the small number of suicide cases inthese categories.

However, in a previous HSPH coffee-depression study, the investigators observed a maximal effectamong those who drank four or more cups per day.

In fact one previous large Finnish study showed a higher risk of suicide among people drinking eight ornine cups per day. Few participants in the two HSPH studies drank such large amounts of coffee so theimpact of six or more cups a day of coffee was not addressed in these two studies.

Honestly...some 'research' being reported about nowadays is not research at all. It's almost speculation. It's almos t

inevitable that next week there will be 'research' showing the opposite. Having suffered from a major depression (which

is not feeling sad or blue or suffering from feelings of low s elf esteem, awful as they are) when I couldn't eat, just drank

endless cups of coffee, while thinking of how walking off a cliff would stop the awful pain inside, and the pointless ness of

existence -it certainly didn't help me in any way, shape or form.
