Coffee heart disease: For millions of Americans, coffee is the first thing they reach for every morning. But if you've ever wondered whether your daily caffeine habit is helping or hurting your heart, a new scientific statement from the American Heart Association (AHA) offers some reassuring news.

In fact, researchers say moderate coffee consumption may even lower the risk of several cardiovascular diseases.
