Franz - 24 Mar 2005 18:49 GMT Could anyone be so kind as to give me an idea as to how much coffee is TOO much coffee for a 45 year old male who had a heart attack a year ago. What are the possible effects on a cardiac patient with regards to cafine consumption?
Thanks in Advance

High coffee consumption raises the risk of acute cardiac events and it also increases harmful homocysteine concentration.
But this is just my personal opinion. Check with your doctor.

Also keep in mind that the 2 cup recommendation is for 8 oz cups - not whatever fits in your mug, travel cup, grande, venti or whatever container you most often use.

Perhaps not, but coffee consumption is one of those things which give a J-shape of curve. The risk is lowest around one cup a day.

Coffee raises cholesterol, homocysteine and inflammatory markers and increases the risk of acute coronary events.These might not be the best studies about the subject but I think that you get a good over all picture from them.

No link to heart disease. And the data re changing homocystein levels to reduce heart disease events are unclear.
>http://www.nutrition.org/cgi/content/abstract/134/9/2381 "Heavy coffee consumption has been associated with increased coronary heart disease (CHD) risk although many studies have not observed any relation."
They do conclude that they find a relationship, though its after a lot of adjustments and its of course not at all clear if the effect is from coffee consumption or from related activities. Maybe people who drink lots of coffee work in offices and are more sedentary or stressed? Who knows?
>http://www.healthandage.com/PHome/gid2=1168 This is a report of "Coffee consumption and serum lipids: meta-analysis of randomized controlled clinical trials." It shows that boiled coffee appears to affect lipids, including increasing LDL. That's of interest, but it looks like a very weal effect on variables which themselves have a complex linkage to mortality and morbidity.
>http://www.ajcn.org/cgi/content/abstract/80/4/862 "Compared with coffee nondrinkers, men who consumed >200 mL coffee/d had 50% higher interleukin 6 (IL-6), 30% higher C-reactive protein (CRP), 12% higher serum amyloid-A (SAA), and 28% higher tumor necrosis factor (TNF-) concentrations and 3% higher white blood cell (WBC) counts (all: P < 0.05). Women who consumed >200 mL coffee/d had 54% higher IL-6, 38% higher CRP, 28% higher SAA, and 28% higher TNF- concentrations and 4% higher WBC counts (all: P < 0.05) than did coffee nondrinkers."
That's certainly a more sizable effect. Again, it's a cross-sectional survey design, with no changes being looked at. But with that large an effect on inflammatory components, I'm surprised the attempts to link coffee consumption with cardiovascular disease hasn't been more successful.
>Green tea would be a healthier alternative to coffee consumption. Maybe. I don't think the data exist to make that claim, though. One worry is that green tea contain a compound similar to methotrexate: http://tinyurl.com/6emuj
It appears to interfere with folate activity. Folate helps in the repair of DNA which is constantly being damaged by environmental agents (radiation, chemical oxidants, etc.).
Coffee has been studied a lot more than green tea, and the evidence is pretty inconclusive re its overall harm.

Actually there is some evidence but I don't have the time and energy to search them at the moment. I have been reading one brilliant new book about nutrition and heart disease where I saw references about tea reducing heart disease risk.

Well, the evidence is perhaps not watertight but I think that it is reasonable to make a conclusion that high consumption of coffee is likely to increase heart disease risk. However, the situation with green tea is different. In a Norwegian study tea consumption was associated with a 40 % reduction in heart disease risk (at the moment I don't remember whether it was overall tea comsumption or green tea only). In other studies the reductions has not been as great but the trend is clear: high coffee consumption is likely to increase risks where as tea consumption is likely to reduce risks.

My answer if you feel that coffee is questionable go with out. Otherwise buy and espresso machine and be in good contact with your doctors.
I lean towards the latter but I?m a tantric sort of guy.

They don't make my palpitations worse even though I enjoy them both frequently. Of course palpitations are not as serious as AFIB so you must take more care. But why not enjoy your little cheat unless your doctor is adamant? Having to live with AFIB seems reason enough for a reward now and again.

Dark wines and liquors, as well as aspartame, provid similar levels of methanol, above 100 mg daily, fo long-term heavy users, 2 L daily, about 6 cans
Methanol is inevitably largely turned into formaldehyde and thence largely into formic acid It is the major cause of the dreaded symptoms of "nex morning" hangover
Fully 11% of aspartame is methanol -- 1,120 mg aspartam in 2 L diet soda, almost six 12-oz cans, gives 123 m methanol (wood alcohol). If 30% of the methanol is turne into formaldehyde, the amount of formaldehyde, 37 mg is 18.5 times the USA EPA limit for daily formaldehyde in drinking water, 2.0 mg in 2 L average daily drinking water,
185 times the New Jersey limit, 615 times the California and Maine limits.

Dear Friend,
Through many days of prayer seeking the LORD's guidance on how to effectively call out as one of HIS lowly watchmen regarding the catastrophic event (Revelation 6:14) that may possibly happen sometime between now and the end of the year, the above verses which are from both the OT and the NT came to mind.
This electronic message will be a feeble solitary voice calling out into the desert that is the Internet ever hopeful that it will be heard by all so that "the glory of the LORD will be revealed." (Isaiah 40:5) Please help by conveying this message to everyone you know. It will be my fervent prayer, in Jesus' most precious and holy name, that all who understand the essence of this message will be protected from all harm in this time that may possibly be leading to "the great tribulation" referenced in the 14th verse of Revelation 7. Please join me in our collectively praying for GOD's protection, HIS continued mercy and HIS infinite grace for all those who are blessed by an understanding of this message.
At 10:33 PM (Tokyo time) on 03/28/06, there was a strong earthquake that impacted Tokyo:

Then on 03/29/06, an unusual total solar eclipse happened in Turkey at 2:00 PM (LT) that darkened the skies of the ancient cities where the 7 Churches of Christ reside in the same order as given **twice** in Revelation (1:11 and then chapters 2 through 3). A parallel solar eclipse apparently happened on this same day (March 29th) in 70AD, which is the year that Jerusalem was destroyed. This total solar eclipse could very well be the same eclipse that was seen by John in the prophetic vision given to him by LORD Jesus Christ as described in the 12th verse of Revelation 6. A "great earthquake" did precede the solar eclipse visualized by John as described in Revelation 6:12. And now we face a possible nuclear showdown with Iran that may result in the fulfillment of the rest of the elements seen by John for the opening of the 6th seal (Revelation 6:12-17):

You wouldn't be the first lunatic to warn about the impending "end o th world"...over the last 2000 years, there have been many such warnings Like yours, all turned out to be false.
