Coffee helps heart health? It’s more complicated than that
Two new studies about the impact of caffeine on heart health show that the evidence is mixed but the message is clear: everything in moderation. The first study, an analysis of 21,361 participants over 10 years, used a machine learning computer program to search for patterns between behaviours and risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), the umbrella term for conditions that include coronary heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke and heart failure. While marital status, red meat intake and whole milk intake were all risk factors, they found that drinking coffee was most strongly associated with lowering the risk of heart failure (where the heart muscle stops pumping blood properly). Specifically, the research published in Circulation: Heart Failure found that drinking a cup or less a day made no difference, but two-to three coffees a day may lower the risk of heart failure by as much as 30 per cent.
