New Study Says Coffee Reduces Risk of Heart Disease
20 June 2010
A new research study shows that moderate coffee and tea drinkers are less likely to die of heart disease than those who abstain from it.
This study furthers the expanding body of evidence that coffee and tea protect against heart disease, but no added benefit against a stroke.
In one of the largest and longest studies ever conducted examining the impact of coffee and tea drinking on heart health, more than 37,000 people in the Netherlands were examined over the course of 13 years.
The study found:
- Individuals who drank 2-4 cups of coffee a day had about 20% lower risk of heart disease than those who drank less or no coffee at all.
- Moderate coffee drinkers were associated with a reduction in death from heart disease (however not statistically significant).
