Ahmed El-Sohemy and colleagues recruited 4000 adults, of which about 2000 people had a heart attack. Then, they analyze their genes and their coffee drinking habits. When they looked at the entire population, they found that the average drink 4 or more cups of coffee a day, increased risk of heart attack 36%.
