High Blood Pressure? Drinking 2 Cups of Coffee Daily Doubles Heart Disease Death Risk, New Study Finds

And now, a new study has found that drinking just two cups of coffee a day can double the risk of death from heart disease for those with high blood pressure.

The latest insight on coffee's potential health effects comes from a study published in the Journal of the American Heart Association (JAHA) on Dec. 21. 

 

However it only applies to those with severe hypertension:

"We were surprised that heavy coffee consumption was associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease mortality among people with severe hypertension, but not in those without hypertension or with grade 1 hypertension," 

It's still considered beneficial for those with no existing hypertension

In its press release announcing the new research, the AHA points out that previous studies have actually found there to be some health benefits to coffee. One 2021 study published in the journal Circulation: Heart Failure found that an increase in coffee consumption was matched with a decrease in the risk of heart failure. The organization also cited other research that found coffee consumption could actually reduce the risk of hypertension in patients who haven't already been diagnosed with the condition.

Scientific discovery is forever moving the goalposts. I still wouldn't drink it anyway because of the taste.
