Coffee Consumption and Cardiovascular Risk
Cup of coffee over time the link between coffee intake and cardiovascular risk has been extensively studied, and initial investigations indicate already made in the 60′s. This is because coffee is one of the most popular beverages worldwide and subsequently consumed by millions of people. So I will detail what is the relationship between coffee consumption and cardiovascular health.
For many decades we have studied the relationship between coffee consumption and cardiovascular health in general and the link between popular drink and various risk factors such as:
* Hypertension.
* Hypercholesterolemia.
* Hypertriglyceridemia.
* Increased levels of homocysteine (a substance intervening in the formation of atherosclerotic plaques at the level of artery walls).
At first there was more emphasis on the effect of caffeine on the different risk factors over time has been diverted attention also to other components of coffee and alcohol diterpenes (cafestol and kahweol) that could have an adverse effect cardiovascular health.
There are investigations in which evidence is presented of a possible link between the harmful coffee consumption and coronary risk and other studies which refute this claim.
One possible explanation for this difference is not taking into account the type of coffee studied. Importantly, the relationship between coffee intake and cardiovascular risk should be taken from a long-term, as noted a decline in coffee consumption from age 50.
Because of these differences has conducted a review of 22 studies, which found an increased risk of myocardial infarction in those who consumed more than 5 cups of coffee daily, in connection with those who drank no coffee.
