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 thats 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.

Coffee good, coffee bad, coffee good, coffee bad. I wish these jerks could make up their minds or more likely they can't let the coffee study gravy train go, now they will be looking for new grants for a study to disprove this one. Oh well since it's six cups a day that do the damage I guess I will have to limit myself to five.
Funny, the two decades I ran food operations and drank pots of coffee a day didn't do serious deadly harm to me.

I went to a coffee place in north Louisiana and ordered cafe au lait, it was so weak I had to get two expressos to make it decent. I’m from New Orleans and we do like our strong coffee. I drink mine black.

I clicked through to the study the article cites and the conclusion is not really what the article says. It used as a baseline people who drank 1-2 cups per day. It showed that those who didn't drink any coffee had an 11% increase in CVD (cardio vascular disease) over the baseline, those that drank decaf had a 7% increase and those drank more than 6 had a 22% increase in CVD. The headline should be drink 1-2 cups of coffee per day to lower your risk of CVD. Here's the conclusion from the study: "The association between habitual coffee intake and CVD risk was nonlinear, and, compared with participants drinking 12 cups/day, the risk of CVD was elevated for nondrinkers, drinkers of decaffeinated coffee, and those who reported drinking >6 cups/day (increase in odds by 11%, 7%, and 22%, respectively, P-curvature = 0.013). CYP1A2 genotype and caffeine-GS were not associated with CVD (P ≥ 0.22 for all comparisons). There was no evidence for an interaction between the CYP1A2 genotype or caffeine-GS and coffee intake with respect to risk of CVD (P ≥ 0.53)."

I do not think it is the coffee but having too much exercise lifting the cup of coffee up and down from the table.

Now if someone would just point me to the saps that pay for these studies I’ll just pick up my check and be on my way.

Duh. Heart disease is a result of inflammation.
Ingest too much of anything and it becomes a poison. Water, too. Inflammation results in mild cases. Heart disease is but one manifestation.
More fluff drawing from a meager grant pool to fund spurious research to keep liberal researchers fed and mortgages paid.

Six cups a day of ANYTHING isnt good for you. Yeah. You would dry up and blow away with only 48oz of fluid a day.
Twelve is much better.

If you eat correctly, you’ll get plenty of water through your food intake. Obviously drinking water is smart, but even too much of that can kill you.

And last month “a study” said that drinking six cups a day will reduce the possibility of Alzheimers, heart attacks, and diabetes.

In the mid-80s, I was stationed in Panama. We had a female NCO who knew someone who was going to Columbia, and shed asked the traveler to bring back high-grade Columbian coffee. So the guy comes back and hes got this big bag of Columbian brew.
Back when I was in high school, one of my Dad's work buddies had a friend in Colombia. He brought back several pounds of fresh-roasted coffee, and my Dad brought some back from the office. BEST coffee I've ever had, didn't need cream (heavy whipping of course), sugar, Amaretto, Kahlua, Baileys, Scotch, nothing. I can drink coffee black, but usually it has sugar / cream / something in it.
The fresh Colombian stuff didn't need anything but hot water! So tasty, you could grab a bean or two and stick it in your lip like a dip. Delicious.
