You saw the research. Drinking\ncoffee is good for you, so pour another and immerse yourself in the rich, roasted\naroma. That\u2019s what a 2017 study told us, reporting that four or more cups of\njoe daily could reduce your risk of death by around 64 percent when compared to\nthose who never or almost never drank coffee.1<\/sup> The catch\n(there\u2019s always a catch!) was that we didn\u2019t know what \u201cor more\u201d meant. Now we\ndo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A new study from the University of\nSouth Australia, which included 347,077 adult coffee drinkers between ages 37 and 73, says five cups of coffee daily are cool.2<\/sup>\nWith that sixth cup, however, health problems begin to brew \u2013 and might pour\ncoffee\u2019s benefits down the drain. To be more specific, the study found that the\nsixth cup of coffee increases risk of heart disease by up to 22 percent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By investigating the association of long-term\ncoffee consumption and cardiovascular disease, the study researchers say their\nreport confirms the point where over-the-top caffeine can cause high blood\npressure \u2013 a precursor to heart disease. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the record, this is the first time any study has set an upper limit on safe coffee consumption and cardiovascular health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
