Researchers Find No Link between Habitual Coffee Consumption and Arrhythmia:
In a large, prospective, population-based community cohort study of 386,258 coffee drinkers, greater amounts of habitual coffee consumption were inversely associated with a lower risk of cardiac arrhythmia; in fact, each additional daily cup of coffee was associated with a 3% reduced risk of developing an arrhythmia; these associations were not significantly modified by genetic variants that affect caffeine metabolism.
“Coffee is the primary source of caffeine for most people, and it has a reputation for causing or exacerbating arrhythmias,” said Professor Gregory Marcus, a researcher in the Division of Cardiology at the University of California, San Francisco.
“But we found no evidence that caffeine consumption leads to a greater risk of arrhythmias.”
“Our population-based study provides reassurance that common prohibitions against caffeine to reduce arrhythmia risk are likely unwarranted.”
[...] The higher amounts of coffee were actually associated with a 3% reduced risk of developing an arrhythmia.
“Only a randomized clinical trial can definitively demonstrate clear effects of coffee or caffeine consumption,” Professor Marcus said.
[...] “Coffee’s antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties may play a role, and some properties of caffeine could be protective against some arrhythmias.”

Vietnamese coffee with condensed milk is pretty good, too.
While Brazil produced the most arabica beans, Vietnam produces the most robusta beans.
