Coffee and caffeine: pros and cons
A recent study has shown that moderate caffeine consumption, up to 400 mg per day (equivalent to 3 to 5 cups of coffee), does not increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases; in fact, it may contribute to a decreased likelihood of certain conditions such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease, heart failure, stroke, and arrhythmias. Researchers found that moderate caffeine intake is generally safe for most adults, although high doses—such as energy drinks or concentrated forms—may lead to high blood pressure, irregular heartbeats, or negative effects on the heart. The impact of caffeine varies from person to person and depends on factors like genetics, age, and habitual consumption. Therefore, monitoring one’s body and avoiding excessive intake are important to maximize health benefits and minimize potential risks.
