Coffee Does Not Cause Heart Failure!

In the past, there was a study done on coffee drinkers that showed that coffee consumption was potentially linked to heart failure. However, a recent study done on 37,000 men in Sweden showed no connection between coffee drinking and heart failure.

Within the study, only 784 men developed heart failure over a nine-year period, and it had nothing to do with their coffee intake. This study was not done on women, so the results could differ, but it does not seem likely. It has been proven that there is no association between coffee and heart failure, and coffee may have a neutral or even protective effect on the health of the heart.

The initial studies that were done that showed a negative report on coffee consumption were only done retrospectively, which means that heart attack sufferers were questioned about their coffee consumption. Because of this reason, they were inaccurate, and coffee has been proven not to cause heart failure!
