"Excessive consumption of coffee is dangerous for the cardiovascular system. Drinking more than four cups a day increases the risk of heart diseases."
Medianews.az reports that this was stated by Russian oncologist Vladimir Ivashkov.
The doctor noted that natural compounds called cafestol and kahweol found in coffee can raise the level of "bad cholesterol" in the blood. Therefore, it is recommended that the daily intake not exceed four cups.
The specialist pointed out filtered coffee as the safest choice. According to him, the filter retains some harmful substances.
At the same time, the doctor emphasized that cream added to coffee, full-fat milk, and fatty additives raise cholesterol levels and said that skimmed or plant-based milk is a better choice.
