4 cups of coffee a day 'lowers stroke, heart failure risk’: Heart surgeon Dr London explains when it can benefit you
in5points
Dr Jeremy London reports that 2-4 small cups of coffee daily lowers risk of heart disease, stroke, heart failure, Type 2 diabetes, and AFib, per a July 2026 AHA review.
Benefits stem from caffeine and chlorogenic acid; beyond 5 cups (400 mg caffeine), heart failure risk may increase.
Adding sugar, cream, syrups, or using unfiltered brewing methods like French press or Turkish coffee neutralizes cardiovascular benefits.
Paper-filtered coffee removes compounds that raise LDL cholesterol; decaf coffee also retains beneficial compounds.
