Abstract in brief

Early studies linked coffee consumption to a higher risk of heart disease and certain cancers, but more recent research, especially prospective cohort studies, does not support these claims.
Consuming unfiltered coffee types like French press or boiled coffee can raise LDL cholesterol levels, and pregnant women should limit caffeinated coffee intake as a precaution.
Evidence suggests that drinking coffee may actually reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes and liver cancer, but more studies are needed to understand how this works and identify the beneficial components in coffee.]
