Is coffee good for you?

The eternal debate continues and one group of researchers in South Korea believe it might. Their study suggests that drinking three to five cups a day may reduce heart attacks for people, as it may reduce the risk of developing clogged arteries.

The research examined 25,138 men and women with an average age of 41 with no signs of heart disease. Those who consumed a moderate amount of coffee were at a lower risk of developing coronary calcium in their arteries.

“Our study adds to a growing body of evidence suggesting that coffee consumption might be inversely associated with CVD [cardiovascular disease] risk.,” said the researchers.

They added that further research is necessary to confirm these findings.
