Coffee Health Possibly-Facts

An interesting collection of stats and figures about coffee, if by “interesting” you’ll allow “numbers a guy put on his web page that I didn’t fact check.” (He does seem to link studies for all his claims.) For instance:

Reports of coffee elevating blood pressure are misleading, because they aren’t done they way we drink coffee: daily. Going from nothing to a triple espresso raises blood pressure; but chronic coffee drinking eventually allows for normalized blood pressure.

For example, the much repeated finding “unfiltered boiled coffee causes a significant elevation in blood pressure, especially in women” is misleading: the study actually found that if you switch exclusively to boiled unfltered coffee from filtered coffe, your systolic blood pressure rises about 4mm Hg. However, switching from filtered coffee to abstinence did not have any effect on blood pressure or heart rate. Another study found a trivial change in blood pressure (-3.4mm Hg) after two months of abstinence (afgter 5 cups/d.)
