Two to three cups of coffee a day may be good for the heart, research suggests

[Sherman A1]

Drinking two or three cups of coffee a day may be linked to a reduced risk of heart disease or dying, new research suggests.

The findings suggest this association exists for people with and without cardiovascular disease.

The analysis is thought to be the largest to look at coffee's potential role in heart disease and death. It indicates the drink is not tied to new or worsening heart disease and may actually be good for the heart.

Researchers suggest their findings allow people with heart conditions to drink coffee as part of a healthy diet.

3. That study sure looks like a prospective study, not a double blind one, and I don't think it

would be particularly prudent to assume this was conclusive proof that caffeine was good for you.

One thing should be noted whether coffee is good or bad for your heart, caffeine is an addicting substance, and some people, like anything, do have an intolerance to it.

4. While I absolutely think you're right

Ugh, I hate you (just kidding). Back to my one cup a day which is my reason to get up in the morning.

6. Define cup. 250 ml or a triple grande or a standard Tim Hortons double-double?

Perhaps there is a standard definition of cup in the literature (caffeine content of one cup of standard lab brewed coffee) or industry standard for vending machines (doubtful). However I have not found a reference to that paper that explains "cup".

A cup in cooking is 250 ml (237). Perhaps we are talking medium 250ml? Neither strong nor weak?

8. If only..

after thirty years of blissful coffee drinking (2-3 cups a day), I developed a life-threatening cardiac arrhythmia that quickly went away when I stopped drinking coffee. That was in 2018. I miss it to this day.

10. I wonder if the increased heart rate induced by caffeine is beneficial to sedentary people?

Exercise increases the heart rate temporarily and strengthens the heart muscles.

Does a limited dose of caffeine serve as a substitute for a bit of mild exercise?
