'67% of Europeans Can't Imagine Life Without Coffee', but Over a Third Don't Know Impact on Their Health |
[12-January-2016] |
LONDON, January 13, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --  New consumer research reveals healthy diet messages are not always understood Despite a cultural love of coffee, over a third (39%) of Europeans are uncertain about the potential health benefits of coffee. Coffee remains integrated into the European lifestyle: 40% of respondents said coffee gets their day off to a good start. The consumer research, conducted by the Institute for Scientific Information on Coffee (ISIC), surveyed over 4,000 people across 10 European countries (including Greece and Poland), to understand their beliefs, behaviours, and knowledge regarding a healthy diet. The results show that although 70% of Europeans believe they are healthy, many still don't know what lifestyle changes they can make to help reduce their risk of common, serious health conditions including type two diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, and cardiovascular disease. Key findings:Â
67% of Europeans stated that they could not imagine life without coffee. The health effects of coffee consumption have been extensively researched: moderate consumption of coffee at three to five cups per day has been associated with a range of desirable physiological effects and fits within a healthy diet and active lifestyle. Pregnant and breastfeeding women are advised by EFSA to consume no more than 200mg of caffeine, per day, from all sources. This is equivalent to no more than two cups per day.
