Caffeine

by Hratch L Karamanoukian, MD and Pierre Aoukar, MD
Posted: February 20


Although results from a large number of studies are conflicting, the current thinking is that moderate caffeine consumption doesn’t seem to be harmful and is not a risk factor for the development of coronary artery disease.

The confounding factors in this controversy is that heavy coffee drinkers tend to smoke and to have high cholesterol levels, which are probably the reasons why they have an increased risk for coronary artery disease. If you get tired of coffee, try tea, chocolate or a soft drink, all of which are laced with caffeine.
