　　事实上，如果每天喝7杯咖啡，也就是超过英国食品标准署推荐标准的两倍，早死的风险能降低16%。

　　For the study, the team used data from the UK Biobank, through which 500,000 UK adults aged between 38 and 73 completed health questionnaires, underwent physical examinations and provided biological samples.

　　为了这项研究，研究小组采用了英国生物样本库的数据，有50万年龄在38至73岁的英国人完成了健康调查问卷，进行了生理测试，并提供了样本。

　　The researchers asked each person about their smoking and drinking habits, as well as their coffee consumption, including how many cups they drank a day and the type: decaffeinated, ground or instant.

　　在为期10年的跟踪调查中，有1万4千2百人死亡，不过研究人员发现，喝咖啡较多的人活的更久。

　　Two to five cups reduced early death rates by 12 per cent, while one cup or less than one cup per day resulted in eight and six per cent, respectively.

　　每天喝2-5杯咖啡早死概率减少12%，每天和一杯或者少于一杯的概率分别在8%和6%。
