While the results were positive, the study noted that the different ways in which caffeine features in everyday life had an impact on whether a conclusion could be drawn on it’s health benefits.
“Given that CF consumption occurs primarily in the form of beverages that contain inconsistent doses and that are frequently mixed with…dairy and sugar products, results from such studies can be difficult to interpret and often vary.”
The study continued: “The majority of studies examined, which involved thousands to hundreds of thousands of patients, demonstrated a protective effect of CF consumption against CVD risk.”
Caffeine then, in isolation, is good for reducing risk of cardiovascular disease.
