Contrary to current clinical belief and recommendations advising against the regular consumption of caffeinated products to prevent disturbances of the heart’s cardiac rhythm, regular caffeine consumption does not lead to extra heartbeats, which can lead in rare cases to heart- or stroke-related morbidity and mortality. The study, which measured the chronic consumption of caffeinated products over a 12-month period, rather than acute consumption, appears in the January 2016 issue of the Journal of the American Heart Association. It is the largest to date to have evaluated dietary patterns in relation to extra heartbeats. https://www.ucsf.edu/news/2016/01/4...-does-not-result-extra-heartbeats-study-shows
