Drinking coffee also appears to be linked to a lower risk of several cardiovascular conditions, including heart failure, heart disease and stroke in some people. Research has linked drinking caffeinated coffee without added sugars, flavors or cream to a lower risk of Type 2 diabetes and heart disease. Adding sugar, milk or cream likely reduces the health benefits, the AHA says.
However, the group says drinking caffeine in high doses — such as those found in energy drinks and energy shots — could increase the risk of high blood pressure and irregular heart rhythm and should be avoided.
