High Coffee Intake Increases Risk of Heart Diseases: Study
The world’s first genetic study conducted by the researchers from the Australian Center for Precision Health at the University of South Australia revealed that long-term, heavy consumption of coffee increases the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) by 23 percent.
Heavy drinkers who drink six or more cups of coffee per day have a higher risk of CVD, which is the leading cause of death in Australia.
The lead researcher of the study, Professor Elina Hyppönen, said that the study focuses on the genetic and phenotypic link between coffee intake and plasma lipid profiles – the number of fats and cholesterol in the blood.
The findings, in a genetic-based study, indicate that long-term, heavy coffee consumption six or more cups a day can increase the amount of lipids (fats) in your blood to significantly heighten.
Long black, espresso, or latte, whatever your coffee preference, drink too much and you could be in hot water, especially when it comes to heart health.
