Inconclusive Study Links Coffee and Heart Disease
In my Coffee Cateogry I had envisioned commenting only on those news reports that support my daily coffee intake. Then this came across my screen:
Reuters - Consuming moderate-to-high amounts of coffee is associated with increased levels of several inflammatory markers, a finding that could help explain previous reports linking the beverage to heart disease.
Its not time to panic, yet. Like most researchers, the scientists who performed this study played the inconclusive and more research is necessary (we need money) card:
Although the findings provide a mechanism by which coffee intake could promote heart disease, the authors note that not all previous studies have identified an association between the two. Hence, further studies are needed to confirm the present findings.
Maybe I'll comment more later. For now it is time for another cup of coffee.
