In 2020, researchers from the University of South Australia analyzed data from 347,077 patients aged between 37 and 73 years. Among them were individuals with a specific CYP1A2 gene, which allows for faster metabolism of caffeine in the body. The study revealed that consuming six or more cups of coffee a day increases the risk of heart attack by 22% compared to more moderate intake — up to two cups. Notably, individuals with the aforementioned gene face the same risks and should avoid excessive coffee consumption.

Elevated caffeine levels in the blood contribute to increased blood pressure, which is a risk factor for heart issues. Many are aware that excessive coffee consumption can lead to feelings of nervousness, trembling, and even nausea: caffeine accelerates the body's functions, but this comes at a cost.
Another interesting finding is that those who do not drink coffee at all or opt for decaf also face heart problems (with a risk increase of 11% and 7% compared to those who consume one to two cups): this is because coffee is a significant source of antioxidants.
Thus, experts have permitted coffee consumption but advised against overindulgence.
