Question 124 of 433
Is coffee good or bad?
The short answer
Good news. Two to four cups a day is consistently linked to lower risk of heart disease, diabetes, liver disease, Parkinson’s, and death.
Keep it earlier in the day to protect sleep, and do not turn it into dessert with syrups and cream. Unfiltered coffee such as French press raises LDL cholesterol slightly; paper-filtered does not. If coffee gives you palpitations or anxiety, your body is telling you your dose.
