Here is the original study: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00394-026-04038-z Weirdly, I cannot copy text from that page. What am I doing wrong? Regardless, here is the result summary:
This part: "positive associations with total testosterone (β = +0.29 nmol/L per cup/day)". For testosterone, 1 nmol/L ≈ 28.8 ng/dL. So: +0.29 nmol/L ≈ +8.4 ng/dL per additional cup/day.Really, this will have no meaningful impact on your health. It is widely discussed by TRT (testosterone replacement therapy) doctors that supplements that can increase your total test by 100ng/dL will have no meaningful impact. Literally, you need to drink 12 cups of coffee per day to get a ~100ng/dL improvement. You are going to have a lot of second order effects from drinking 12 cups of coffee per day! I would never recommend it. | ||||||||

I often drink a 12 cup pot in a day. No noticeable effects. Why are coffee cups smaller than cups? Maybe I’m just slow, but it makes doing the mental math a lot more difficult than it needs to be. Maybe I just need more coffee. | ||||||||
