caffeine and cardiovascular disease


Caffeine is in coffee, tea, soft drinks, chocolate and some nuts. Many studies have been done to see if there's a direct link between caffeine, coffee drinking and heart disease. The results are conflicting. This may be due to the way the studies were done and other dietary factors. However, moderate coffee drinking (12 cups per day) doesn't seem to be harmful.
