Cardiologists recommend drinking as few drinks as possible, which contain caffeine, because it can disrupt the heart rhythm. Evidence for this was obtained by scientists in 1980, but after that the opposite was repeatedly confirmed.

Coffee reduces the risk of developing such dangerous diseases as oncology and diabetes mellitus, plays an anti-inflammatory role.
In the course of the study, scientists analyzed information from 386 thousand people, which for some time was collected by the British Biobank.
