Coffee Doesn't Hike Blood Pressure..

But caffeinated cola beverages, whether sugared or diet, were linked with an increased risk of high blood pressure.



Women who love drinking coffee can keep on loving it, researchers say. Too bad the same isn't true for those who can't get enough of caffeinated colas, however. A new study has found that regular coffee drinking has no links to temporary hypertension or persistent high blood pressure.
In fact, women who consume the most coffee may even get a protective cardiovascular effect from their cup of java. In contrast, drinking caffeinated sugared or diet colas does raise blood pressure, the researchers found.

"This is good news for women who enjoy drinking coffee," said study author Dr. Wolfgang Winkelmayer, a researcher in the divisions of pharmacoepidemiology and pharmacoeconomics at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. "Quite contrary to popular belief, it appears to not increase the risk of high blood pressure."

The findings appear in the Nov. 9 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association.

It's the sugar not the caffeine that is raising the blood pressure, that is why

Sugar makes you fat. Caffeine makes you lose weight.

Caffeine (wish I could spell it) does raise your blood pressure in the short term. But once your body gets used to it it stabalizes.

This does not surprise me one bit. Really coffee is not bad for you at all and actually has a lot of good qualities.

Soda is teh devil.
