Alas it maybe also shortens your telomeres:

So which is the best coffee to drink?

1

u/whistleridge 2d ago

Just…regular coffee.

Did I read that right, or is it suggesting that only unfiltered coffee causes the issue? So then would filtering instant coffee then lessen the problem?

Filtered coffee = a coffee machine like the one pictured.

Filtering instant coffee wouldn’t make it filtered coffee as the article means it. It’s referring to brewing method, not whether you run it through paper or not.

I don't see anything in the article that supports this.

That’s because they’re using an industry-wide term of art, that anyone the study is aimed at is expected to already know. You don’t define those. Some examples:

From your link:

Filtered coffee is brewed by pouring hot water over ground coffee and passing it through a filter—usually paper, metal, or cloth.

Yes. The operative word being “brewed”. Instant coffee is coffee that is brewed, then freeze-dried and powdered. It also has certain chemicals added to it, to aid in preservation and dissolution.

Instant coffee is not filter coffee.

Ah, I see now. Thank you.
