Attention! Attention! Attention!
To all the coffee lovers out there, as per the research drinking, two or more cups of coffee per day can increase the risk of death from cardiovascular disease in people who already suffer from severe high blood pressure.
The study indicated that drinking one cup of coffee or green tea daily might not increase the risk of dying at any blood pressure management.
According to the estimates of the FDA, a cup of green or black tea contains 30 to 50 mg of caffeine, on the other hand, a cup of coffee has
like 80-100mg.
“Our study aimed to determine whether the known protective effect of coffee also applies to individuals with different degrees of hypertension; and also examined the effects of green tea in the same population,” explained the study’s senior author Hiroyasu Iso, M.D., PhD, M.P.H., director of the Institute for Global Health Policy Research, Bureau of International Health Cooperation, National Center for Global Health and Medicine in Tokyo, Japan, and professor emeritus at Osaka University. “To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to find an association between drinking two or more cups of coffee daily and cardiovascular disease mortality among people with severe hypertension.”
The data collected showed:
- Drinking two or more cups of coffee increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases in people with more than 160/100mm Hg blood pressure.
- Drinking one cup of coffee is not associated with any kind of risk.
- Green tea consumption is also not related to any kind of risk.
“These findings may support the assertion that people with severe high blood pressure should avoid drinking excessive coffee,” said Iso. “Because people with severe hypertension are more susceptible to the effects of caffeine, caffeine’s harmful effects may outweigh its protective effects and may increase the risk of death.”
The study also found out that people who consume coffee in large amounts are mostly young, current smokers, current drinkers, eat fewer vegetables with high cholesterol levels.
