Study hints coffee may be linked to rheumatoid arthritis
A Finnish study suggests people who drink more than three cups of coffee daily may have about twice the risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis compared with lighter drinkers. Researchers followed 19 000 Finns for 15 years, finding 0.5 percent of high coffee drinkers developed the disease versus 0.2 percent among those drinking three cups or less. Experts caution the study does not prove causation and note potential confounding factors.
