Drinking coffee has been found to reduce the risk of cardiovascular
disease and heart arrhythmias. 2-3 cups of ground coffee per day had
the greatest effect but both instant and decaffeinated also showed
lesser effects. The study involved nearly half a million participants
with a median age of 58 years.
The greatest effect was seen in those that drank 2-3 cups of ground
coffee a day, where a 27% lower likelihood of death from any cause was
seen during a median of 12.5 years of follow up. Since decaffeinated
coffee works too albeit not as strongly, it is unlikely to be related
to caffeine but rather to one of the more than 100 phytochemicals
present in coffee.
