The relationship between Coffee drinking and Coronary Heart Disease

Professor GaryWilliamson of Leeds University said that polyphenols have been shown to reduce platelet aggregation and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. They studied smokers in Europe and found that the body's antioxidant status and vasodilation improved after taking dark chocolate. It is proved that chocolate has a good protective effect on vascular endothelial function because it contains a lot of polyphenols. Experts point out that in addition to cocoa, polyphenols are also found in other natural foods such as vegetables and fruits, and recommend eating 1 gram of polyphenols a day.

Also of interest to participants was the recent study of the relationship between coffee and cardiovascular disease. Professor FrankBHu of Harvard University believes that the effect of coffee on blood pressure is caused by caffeine, while decaffeinated coffee has little effect on blood pressure. He noted that since 1976, American researchers have found in a study of the relationship between coffee and coronary heart disease that drinking decaffeinated coffee can reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. However, while drinking coffee is good for health, from a personal point of view, Professor FrankBHu does not advocate drinking coffee for people who never drink coffee, or from drinking less to drinking more. At the same time, he suggests that patients with cardiovascular disease can appropriately reduce or give up drinking coffee. It is understood that decaffeinated coffee products have been sold in China.
