Is it really safe to drink lots of coffee?
Study finds several cups a day doesn't raise heart disease risk for most
WASHINGTON - Go ahead and have that second cup of coffee - or third, or
fourth. A study published Monday shows heavy, long-term coffee drinking
does not raise the risk of heart disease for most people.
The study, which followed 128,000 men and women for as long as 20 years,
showed that drinking filtered coffee - not espresso or French-style
brews - did not raise the risk of heart disease.
Heavy coffee drinkers did tend to smoke and drink alcohol more often and
those two factors clearly do raise heart risk, the researchers report in
the journal Circulation.
"We believe this study clearly shows there is no association between
filtered coffee consumption and coronary heart disease," said Esther
Lopez-Garcia, an instructor in the School of Medicine at the Universidad
Autonoma de Madrid in Spain, who worked on the study.
"This lack of effect is good news, because coffee is one of the most
widely consumed beverages in the world."
Researchers also found no link between heart disease and how much
caffeine, tea or decaffeinated coffee people drank.
