Okay but can we get like the actual meta analysis on this so we can finally know if coffee is heart healthy or not

Seriously though. We need "COFFEE GOOD" or "COFFEE BAD". This whole providing scientific data and expecting us to draw our own conclusions is so last century.

The problem is that for things like this, there really isn't a black-and-white answer like that. It will be good for some things and bad for some things and then it will probably vary by person on top of it.
As a general rule of thumb, if you read an article that says something like "red wine is good for you," you can safely assume the study was really, really specific and said something like "red wine can slightly reduce blood pressure in people with mildly elevated blood pressure" and that it's the reporter who has oversimplified. It's not like the risks of alcohol consumption increasing your chance of cancer and liver damage and so on went away... it just also does this other thing they found.

I'm pretty sure the consensus is that coffee is heart healthy now, with a sweet spot between 2-4 cups. Shame it doesn't work for me because I have anxiety

It's linked with other benefits as well. I recall reading about how it can reduce the chances of one developing alzheimers.

Helps protect your liver as well.
My dad got hep c from a blood transfusion in the mid 1970s.
50 years later and no significant liver damage. Studies started coming out around 2010 or linking coffee intake and lower liver damage and sure enough my dad is a pot a day guy.
Thankfully he went through treatment and no is Hep C free.

I have anxiety an coffee is great for me. I also have ADHD and it makes my feel like my body is running at the right pace. The more I have to focus on something, the more coffee I'm drinking. Coffee calms me down and I mostly drink it on an empty stomach and always black.

Here's a study examining 20 years of heart data that finds filtered coffee people have lower mortality rates, and here is a 14 week experimental study that seems to confirm that paper filters seem to catch the cholesterol raising components.
