Those who are addicted to the popular brown drink, do not really need proof that coffee is good for health.
Yet a new study has found that drinking up to three cups of coffee a day can protect the heart.
The study found that among people without a diagnosis of heart disease, regular coffee consumption of half to 3 cups of coffee a day was associated with a reduced risk of death from heart disease, stroke and early death for any reason compared to drinking other beverages.
The study, recently presented at the European Society of Cardiology's annual meeting, examined the coffee-drinking habits of more than 468,000 people participating in the British Biobank study, which contains in-depth genetic and health information on more than half a million Britons.

This is of course not the first study to deal with coffee consumption and its benefits and previous studies have already found that drinking moderate amounts of coffee can protect adults from type 2 diabetes, Parkinson's disease, liver disease, prostate cancer, Alzheimer's and even headaches.
Protects the heart?

When it comes to heart disease, a large analysis of data from three major studies published in April found that drinking one or more cups of caffeine a day is associated with a reduced long-term risk of heart failure.
Compared to people who did not drink coffee, it was found that the risk of heart failure over time decreased between 5 and 12 percent for every cup of coffee consumed daily in two of the studies.
The risk of heart failure remains the same with drinking coffee or one glass a day in the third study.
But when people drank two or more cups of black coffee a day the risk dropped by about 30 percent, according to an analysis reported on CNN.
"The link between caffeine and the risk of heart failure has been surprising," said study editor Dr. David Cao, medical director at the University of Colorado School of Medicine in Aurora, in April.

"Coffee and caffeine are often considered 'bad' by the general population because people associate them with palpitations, high blood pressure, etc. The consistent link between increasing caffeine consumption and reducing the risk of heart failure makes this assumption incorrect," he said. Cao in a statement.
Research may be done on black coffee, but in practice most of us drink the coffee differently.

And yet it may be worth clarifying that most research on coffee is done only on drinking black coffee.
However, adding milk, sugars and flavors can add a lot of calories, sugar and fat, which can negate the heart benefits of coffee.
In fact, according to an analysis published in the journal Public Health and conducted by researchers at the University of Illinois and the University of California, two-thirds of those who drink coffee add too much cream, milk and sugar to it.
Their estimate is that this is an addition of 69 calories a day.
In addition, people with sleep problems or uncontrolled diabetes should consult a doctor before adding caffeine to their diet, experts say.
Coffee also increases the likelihood of bone fractures in women at risk.
In men, however, coffee had no such effect.
