Is coffee related to coronary heart disease? coffee is healthy.

Polyphenols have been shown to reduce platelet aggregation and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, said Gary Williamson, a professor at Leeds University. They have studied smokers in Europe and found that taking dark chocolate improves antioxidant status and vasodilation. It is proved that chocolate has a good protective effect on vascular endothelial function due to its large amount of polyphenols. Experts point out that besides cocoa, polyphenols are also found in other foods such as vegetables and fruits in nature, and recommend 1 gram of polyphenols per day.

Also of interest to participants was recent research into coffee's association with cardiovascular disease. Frank B Hu, a professor at Harvard University, believes caffeine is responsible for the effect of coffee on blood pressure, while caffeine has a small effect on blood pressure. He noted that in a study from 1976 to the present, US researchers have found that drinking decaffeinated coffee reduces the risk of coronary heart disease. However, despite the health benefits of coffee consumption, Professor Frank B Hu does not advocate switching from non-drinkers to heavy drinkers on a personal level. At the same time, he suggested that patients with cardiovascular disease can appropriately reduce or give up drinking coffee. It is understood that there are already decaffeinated coffee products sold in China.
