Washington, DC. 20036 (reference in bibliography- Part 8)] Findings from a Framingham Heart Study were substantiated in 1990 when a prospective study concluded by Harvard University researchers further concluded that caffeine consumption causes “no substantial increase in the risk of coronary heart disease or stroke.” The study included 45,589 men between the ages of 40 to 75 years old and adjusted for major cardiovascular-risk indicators including dietary intake of fats and cholesterol and smoking.
