Coffee is Heart Healthy

July 27, 2021

Here's one that's near and dear to our hearts -- literally.

A new study shows that caffeine does not -- repeat, does not -- cause heart palpations, CNN reported recently.

That's great news for us, and for you.

From CNN:

The study, which was published in JAMA Internal Medicine, analyzed coffee consumption by more than 386,000 people over a three-year period and compared that with rates of cardiac arrhythmia. 

After adjusting for demographics, lifestyle habits and diseases and conditions that might cause heart flutters, "each additional cup of habitual coffee consumed was associated with a 3% lower risk of incident arrhythmia," wrote corresponding author and arrhythmia specialist Dr. Gregory Marcus, a professor in the division of cardiology at the University of California San Francisco, in the study.

That's an all clear for us to drink our favorite Humblemaker roasts and cold brew (Bali Blue Moon dark roast, and La Fonda Cold brew for me, please).
