Drink Your Coffee Before Noon

The lie I taught in medical school: with coffee, only the dose matters. New in the European Heart Journal: the clock may matter more than the cup count. Researchers followed 40,725 US adults for a median of 9.8 years and sorted them into morning-only and all-day drinkers. Morning-type drinking was associated with a 16% lower risk of death from any cause and a 31% lower risk of cardiovascular death versus non-drinkers. All-day drinkers got no significant benefit. Same beans, different clock. This is observational, not a trial. Morning coffee may simply mark someone who sleeps on a schedule and eats real food, and diet recalls are blunt instruments. Today's drop: finish your last cup before noon. Caffeine's half-life is about five hours, so an afternoon cup still has a quarter of its punch at bedtime. It shortens deep sleep, and one bad night measurably worsens insulin sensitivity the next day. Blunt your sleep and you blunt your metabolic health. Education only, not medical advice. Talk to your own physician before making changes.
