Study finds too much coffee can increase risk of cardiovascular disease

Researchers from the Australian Center for Precision Health at the University of South Australia have published the world's first genetic study that found long-term, heavy coffee consumption can increase the amount of lipids in the blood and significantly increase the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). In the study, long-term heavy coffee consumption is considered six or more cups per day. The study points out that the correlation is positive and dose-dependent, meaning the more coffee you drink, the greater the risk of CVD.
