Can coffee lower heart disease death rate for older women?

Coffee is the second most widely consumed drink in the world, and is a rich source of antioxidants. A recent study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reports that drinking one to three cups of the delicious elixir a day could prevent heart disease-related death in post-menopausal women.

The 15-year study documented 24 percent fewer deaths from heart disease and other non-cancerous inflammatory diseases among post-menopausal women who drank 1-3 cups of coffee daily, compared to those who drank no coffee at all. Researchers say the study doesn't prove that coffee is the exact cause for preventing heart-related deaths in these women, but does show a risk-reducing effect.
