Coffee drinking benefits men

A few cups of coffee a day is associated with a lower incidence of ED, a new study shows. The researchers from the University of Texas, men who drink two to three cups of coffee a day are less likely to have erectile dysfunction (ED).
"We saw a reduction in the prevalence of ED with men who were obese, overweight and hypertensive. That was not true of men with diabetes.

"Diabetes is one of the strongest risk factors for ED so this was not surprising," explained David S Lopez, lead author and assistant professor at the University of Texas Health Science Centre at Houston (UTHealth).

The researchers found that men who consumed between 85 and 170 milligrams of caffeine a day were 42 percent less likely to report ED. Those who drank between 171 and 303 milligrams of caffeine a day were 39 percent less likely to report ED compared to those who drank zero to seven milligrams a day. This trend was also true among overweight, obese and hypertensive men.

The study appeared in the journal PLOS ONE.
