Reply to comment by OrangeJuiceOW in Study shows that regular coffee drinking (2 to 3 cups per day) is associated with lower systolic blood pressure (SBP), peripheral pulse pressure (PP), aortic BP and aortic PP, but with similar arterial stiffness by giuliomagnifico

I'm pretty sure the consensus is that coffee is heart healthy now, with a sweet spot between 2-4 cups. Shame it doesn't work for me because I have anxiety

It's linked with other benefits as well. I recall reading about how it can reduce the chances of one developing alzheimers.

Helps protect your liver as well.

My dad got hep c from a blood transfusion in the mid 1970s.

50 years later and no significant liver damage. Studies started coming out around 2010 or linking coffee intake and lower liver damage and sure enough my dad is a pot a day guy.

Thankfully he went through treatment and no is Hep C free.

I have anxiety an coffee is great for me. I also have ADHD and it makes my feel like my body is running at the right pace. The more I have to focus on something, the more coffee I'm drinking. Coffee calms me down and I mostly drink it on an empty stomach and always black.
