2 Cups of Coffee a Day May Help Heart Health

CNN Reports that 2 cups of coffee a day may play a role in keeping your heart healthy, noting that "two 8-ounce cups of coffee a day gives people an 11% lower risk of developing heart failure, compared to people who don't consume any coffee". They point out, however, that taking more than 2 cups a day doesn't help more and may actually undo the "goodness" of the first two cups for your heart. Elizabeth Mostofsky, the first author of the analysis and a post doctoral research fellow at the Cardiovascular Epidemiology Research Unit at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, says that they think coffee is lowering the risk of diabetes which is then lowering the risk of heart failure.

Caution: Be wary of sugary coffee drinks, if there's more sugar in your coffee than there is coffee (Starbucks drinkers) then this may not apply to you at all. Read More Here.
