"Most existing studies have focused on the general relationship between coffee consumption and CVD without distinguishing between coffee with added sugars or sweeteners. In real life, coffee is often sweetened with sugars or artificial sweeteners for flavor enhancement, which may reduce its health effects."
"The protective effect of unsweetened coffee extended across multiple CVD subtypes, including coronary artery disease, stroke, heart failure and atrial fibrillation (a-fib)."
A large-scale analysis found that unsweetened coffee consumption is associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The strongest protective effects were noted in individuals consuming 2-3 cups daily, showing a 15% lower risk compared to non-coffee drinkers. The relationship was U-shaped, with extreme intakes offering less benefit. No significant association was found for those who added sugar or artificial sweeteners. The protective effect was consistent across various CVD subtypes, emphasizing the importance of coffee additives on health outcomes.
