Posted: Jun 4, 2019 8:33 AM Posted By: CNN Coffee lovers might be able to breathe a sigh of relief -- a new study found that drinking even large amounts of the caffeinated beverage won't stiffen arteries and harm your heart. Aficionados have been getting mixed messages about their favorite drink, with some research suggesting that drinkingcoffee can improve healthwhile other studies advise people to cut down on their consumption. Previous studies suggested that coffee can cause a stiffening of the arteries, putting pressure on the heart and increasing the likelihood of stroke or heart attack. But a new study, funded in part by the British Heart Foundation, found that drinking five cups of coffee a day was no worse for the arteries than drinking less than one cup. The study of more than 8,000 people across the United Kingdom also found that even those who drank up to 25 cups a day were no more likely to experience stiffening of the arteries than someone drinking less than a cup a day. In the latest study, which is being presented Monday at the British Cardiovascular Society conference, scientists from Queen Mary University of London divided 8,412 people into three groups, with each self-reporting its coffee consumption. The first group was made up of people who said they drank less than one cup of coffee a day; the second included those who drank between one and three cups; and the third group included those who drank more than three, with some in the group drinking up to 25 cups a day. People who consumed more than 25 cups of coffee a day were excluded. All the participants in the study were given MRI heart scans and infrared pulse wave tests. Researchers corrected for factors such as age, gender, ethnicity, smoking status, weight, blood pressure, diet and how much alcohol a person drinks. "What we found was that drinking more than three cups of coffee a day did not significantly increase the stiffness of blood vessels compared to people who drink one cup or less a day," Kenneth Fung, who led the data analysis at Queen Mary University of London, told CNN. "The main message for people to take away from this is that coffee can be enjoyed as part of a healthy lifestyle, and coffee lovers can be reassured by this result in terms of blood vessel stiffness outcomes." Although some participants in the study drank 25 cups a day, the average intake among the highest coffee consumption group was five cups a day. "We're not telling people to drink 25 cups a day per se. If anything, if you drink within recommended guidelines, then we don't expect to see an increase in arterial stiffness compared with those who drink one cup or less a day," he added. The research also showed that moderate and heavy coffee drinkers were most likely to be male, smoke and consume alcohol regularly. Professor Metin Avkiran, associate medical director at the British Heart Foundation, said in a press release: "There are several conflicting studies saying different things about coffee, and it can be difficult to filter what we should believe and what we shouldn't. This research will hopefully put some of the media reports in perspective, as it rules out one of the potential detrimental effects of coffee on our arteries." 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillyBob Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 @Tarheel Good to hear you're feeling well enough to .... was pruning the bush/trees today. Came across my least favorite pest.... bees. In the ceiling/roof of one of my sheds. Immediate trip to the store for some raid. Not something I keep around. I don't think they've been there long. Not a big enough space to get too crazy. One can should be ample.Hope I got the queen this attack. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone told me about it so I tried it and it works great, sprays a heavy stream and knocks them down instantly and they die in a minute but never fly again. It is normally 2.99 but they put it on sale sometimes cheaper, either way it is cheaper than wasp spray. I hate AZ parts and only use them as a last resort but that spray works well and dries almost instantly, whatever it is really screws up wasp. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Used to use gasoline in a Kilz spray can top when painting, even the fumes from it will knock em down dead. But you can't paint over it and it kills the poinsettas as quick as the wasps. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
