As far as I can tell, the cohort included drinkers of black coffee or those who added modest amounts of sugar. The article says that the results do not necessarily apply to those who get their coffee from mocha-whipped-frappuccino concoctions, for which the deleterious effects of added sugars and other ingredients may (or may not) have effects. Also, the article definitely does not say that adding sugar is better - just that in moderate amounts, it doesn't obliterate the positive effect.

Personally, I can't understand why people would ruin the wonderful taste of coffee by adding sugar.

On my second double shot of Nespresso-made coffee of the morning. that's my daily dose.
