More than 500,000 healthy men and women aged 2079 registered the amount and type of coffee they drank, for an average of 20 years.

They also recorded other factors that can affect heart health such as smoking, physical activity, blood pressure, and cholesterol.

Filtered coffee reduced to 15 percent of death from heart problems, regardless of age, gender, or lifestyle.

Moreover, people who drank between one and four cups of refined coffee a day had the lowest mortality rates.

Professor Thelle recommends switching to filtered coffee, especially if you worry about high cholesterol, writes the Daily Mail, broadcasts the news.
