Have you ever been judged for how many cups of coffee you drink on the daily? If so, you may be thrilled to know that drinking more than a cup of caffeine — even two or three cups — is totally safe.
That’s according to a new statement from the American Heart Association, published Monday in its flagship peer-reviewed scientific journal “Circulation.” The latest research found that drinking up to 400 milligrams of caffeine per day, which is equivalent to up to five 8-ounce cups of caffeinated coffee, is “generally” safe for most adults and may be linked to a lower risk of several cardiovascular conditions, like heart failure, heart disease and stroke.
