If you are genuinely concerned you should ask a medical expert not a coffee
expert.

The consensus seems to be that "moderate" coffee consumption is not bad for
your heart. Less than say 5 cups a day of paper filtered regular coffee
should be fine. No reason to limit decaf at all. YMMV - ask your dor.

Coffee is high in anti-oxidants and may have some health benefits,
especially if they can breed out the alkaloids (caffeine) thru genetic
engineering, which is being worked on.

Aside from the heart issue, a study came out recently about coffee and
diabetes. If you're a heavy coffee drinker, it lowers your risk. (I think
"heavy drinker" was defined as 4 cups a day.)

Please supply a link to the paper[s] that unequivocally PROVE the link
between heart disease and coffee and negate[s] all studies to the
contrary.

If that's not possible, then the response is irresponsible to say the
least, possibly idiotic.

To be fair, he didn't claim that there is a general causal link between
coffee consuption and heart disease. All he clearly claimed was that coffee
is bad (vague description) for his (singular personal) heart.

But yeah, you're right.
