Drinking six cups of coffee a day can seriously damage your health, study finds

In fact, drinking six or more cups per day will increase your risk of heart disease by up to 22 percent, the report published May 10 finds. The link between caffeine and heart disease stems from the risks associated with high blood pressure, which can be triggered by excessive caffeine consumption.

“Most people would agree that if you drink a lot of coffee, you might feel jittery, irritable or perhaps even nauseous – that’s because caffeine helps your body work faster and harder, but it is also likely to suggest that you may have reached your limit for the time being," Professor Elina Hyppönen of the Australian Centre for Precision Health said of findings.

Hyppönen called six cups of coffee "the tipping point," leading to adverse health effects, even among people who are carriers of the quicker variation of human caffeine-metabolizing gene. The results of the study were published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

Years ago I had a favorite coffee cup. It was an insulated 32 ounce mug. It would keep my coffee hot for hours.

I began to wonder why I was getting tension headaches.

D’oh!

I now limit my coffee intake to 12 ounces.

I thought they’d decided coffee was a wonderful anti-oxidant.

I like coffee, but I don't think I could even drink six cups a day, even when I was working graveyard shift. After two or three, I start getting a little queasy.

A guy I worked with years ago on the evening shift told us he would drink two pots of coffee in the morning before he came to work, Then he would bring a huge thermos of coffee to drink at work, then after work he would drink another pot before he went to bed. He said it didn't affect him at all.

The last couple of years before he retired, he started complaining of constant lower back pain. We all figured his kidneys were shot because of all those years of extreme coffee drinking.

So if I stop at 5 cups, I’ll be fine.

"“Most people would agree that if you drink a lot of coffee, you might feel jittery, irritable or perhaps even nauseous..." Professor Elina Hyppönen of the Australian Centre for Precision Health said of findings."

Actually, that describes me PRE-coffee!

"The link between caffeine and heart disease stems from the risks associated with high blood pressure..."

So how come so many drink coffee without having high blood pressure? Hmmmm? I hate "studies" like this! They are fundamentally Anti-Science: Not based on repeatable experiments. Not "cause/effect" but all based on correlation. Most food studies are as valuable as a political poll taken a year before the election.

Hm...does not make sense. A venti latte with nonfat milk is 107 calories. One quarter pound of sugar has about 440 calories. So does Starbucks add sugar to the latte?

As opposed to the other recent study showing coffee drinkers live longer. 😆

Sounded healthy until you said Splenda. Ugh, neurotoxic. Better to add a bit of real sugar or something less toxic, or no sweetenee]r.

My Mother always had a pot of coffee brewing all day long.

She made it to 80. She also smoked for over 60 years.

Now I have to figure out who to blame, Big Coffee or Big Tobacco.

She did use Roundup in the Garden occasionally. Maybe that caused her death.

Oh they’re counting in cups rather than pots. That’s cute.

Yes, but are they 5 oz. cups or 8 oz. cups?
