Drinking two to three cups a day of most types of coffee may protect you from cardiovascular disease and an early death, a new study found.
"This manuscript adds to the body of evidence from observational trials associating moderate coffee consumption with cardioprotection, which looks promising," said Charlotte Mills, a lecturer in nutritional sciences at the University of Reading in the U.K., in a statement.
After an average of 12.5 years, researchers looked at medical and death records for reports of arrhythmia, cardiovascular disease, stroke and death. After adjusting for age, diabetes, ethnicity, high blood pressure, obesity, obstructive sleep apnea, sex, smoking status, and tea and alcohol consumption, researchers found all types of coffee were linked with a reduction in death from any cause.
"It is likely that the non-caffeinated compounds were responsible for the positive relationships observed between coffee drinking, cardiovascular disease and survival," Kistler said. The data changed when it came to coffee's impact on irregular heartbeat: Four to five cups a day of caffeinated In addition, coffee can produce negative side effects in some people, she added. People with sleep issues or uncontrolled diabetes, for example, should check with a doctor before adding caffeine to their diets.
