A recent analysis concludes that drinking up to five cups of coffee per day is safe for most adults and may correspond with reduced cardiovascular risk. The statement said regularly consuming caffeinated coffee without added sugars, flavors or cream was linked to a lower risk of Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, stroke, heart failure and some irregular heart rhythms.
context Authors noted that isolating caffeine's effects remains difficult because other compounds in coffee could contribute to observed benefits. Experimental studies suggest the bioactive compounds in coffee may have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, the statement said.
The same statement added that more research is required on coffee and other caffeine-containing products. It also reported that higher caffeine intake, including levels found in energy drinks, was associated with cardiovascular harm.
