BBC NEWS | Health | Caffeine 'does not raise blood pressure' ()

  „Advice Dr Corti said the lack of blood pressure elevation in coffee drinkers suggested regular consumption may help to reduce its potential for damaging health - at least among people who were not vulnerable to high blood pressure. He said further research was needed before people with blood pressure problems were advised not to drink decaffeinated coffee. Professor Bryan Williams, of the Blood Pressure Association, said the study was small and inconclusive. He said: "Recommendations to reduce or cease coffee consumption in people with hypertension would not be appropriate as it would not make a major impact on blood pressure." Dr Simon Thom of St Mary's Hospital in London said coffee had a small effect on blood pressure compared to other foods like salt.“
