Caffeine, blood pressure, and serum lipids

AA Bak and DE Grobbee
Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, Erasmus University Rotterdam, The Netherlands.

To study the effects of caffeine on serum lipids and blood pressure, we conducted a double-blind, randomized trial with two parallel groups in 69 young, healthy subjects. After a 3-wk run-in period, subjects were randomly assigned to one of two groups receiving either 4-6 140-mL cups filtered decaffeinated coffee per day and an equal number of pills containing 75 mg caffeine or 4-6 140-mL cups filtered decaffeinated coffee per day and an equal number of placebo pills, for 9 wk. In both groups caffeine intake from other sources was not allowed. The main finding of this study is that abstinence from caffeine for a period of 9 wk has no effect on either serum lipids or blood pressure.
