Drinking two or three cups of coffee every day may benefit the heart, according to studies being presented at the American College of Cardiology's 71st Annual Scientific Session.
The American College of Cardiology said Thursday that consumption of the caffeinated beverage is associated with a lower risk of heart disease and dangerous heart rhythms, as well as a longer lifespan.
The trends also remained true for those with and without cardiovascular disease, with researchers saying the analyses assure that coffee is not linked to new or worsening heart disease.

Garbage.
The body accumulates excess iron in the liver, heart, and pancreas.
Coffee reduces absorption of iron.
Not many good things on the McDonalds menu but they do have better coffee.
I spent most of my life as a black coffee aficionado. Loved all the various regions and their particular taste. When I lost my stomach to removal for stomach cancer I was told by the MD Anderson dietician that I would have to give up coffee, caffeinated or not. The acid would not agree with me. I did so for the past two years drinking various teas.
So I started taking bariatric vitamins etc from specialty shops that dealt with items for those that had gastrectomies or other bariatric needs. One of these shops had an article explaining why coffee no longer agreed with me or was desirable. It said that coffee had a variety of acidic compounds. One of these (chloratric as I recall) was a product of the roasting process and was only broken down sufficiently by the stomach and those of us without that ability would always react poorly to coffee as our intestinal tract could not break down that acid.
They said there is hope for us if we found “air roasted” coffee as that method did not cause the roasted coffee to produce that one acid with which we could not deal. Of course, they had a brand for sale which I bought and tried and behold it was true, I could drink coffee again.
I also knew of a coffee company I had always liked in Kansas City that used Air Roasting exclusively — The Roasteriee. I have ordered some of their coffee as well to try as it is wonderful coffee. (The American Restaurant Blend, 40 Sardines and The Classic Cup are the blends I enjoyed the most in the past.)
For those that like but no longer tolerate coffee, try some air roasted coffees and see if that gives you relief from the problems.
I can only drink one cup very early otherwise I can’t sleep at night. This study was obviously funded by the Coffee Bean Association.
