In plain English

If you drink coffee, drinking more of it seems to be linked to a lower chance of dying from heart disease - the more cups you have, the less risk you appear to have.

  1. Study: Association of daily sitting time and coffee consumption with the risk of all-cause and cardiovascular disease mortality among US adults

    The study shows that people who drink the most coffee have about half the risk of dying from heart disease compared to non-drinkers, which supports the claim. However, the claim says every additional cup brings more protection, but the study only compared the heaviest drinkers to non-drinkers, not each level of consumption.
