University Study Finds That Regular Caffeine Consumption Does Not Result In Heart Palpitations

Researchers at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) have found that regular caffeine consumption does not lead to extra heartbeats. The scientists’ study, published in the Journal of the American Heart Association, measured the chronic consumption of caffeinated products over a 12-month period, according to the university.

The study’s senior author and UCSF Health cardiologist Gregory Marcus told the source, “Clinical recommendations advising against the regular consumption of caffeinated products to prevent disturbances of the heart’s cardiac rhythm should be reconsidered, as we may unnecessarily be discouraging consumption of items like chocolate, coffee and tea that might actually have cardiovascular benefits.”
