Being a big Coffee drinker I am always interested in weather or not drinking all the Coffee I do is going to cause me problems in the future. I might have just found the answer. The Mayo Clinic has an article about the safety or Coffee.
In summary:
One large study of 128,000 men and women showed no increase in the risk of heart disease from drinking filtered coffee. The findings […] indicated that it didn’t matter how much coffee participants drank.
But another study of 4,000 coffee drinkers […] found that two or more cups of coffee a day can increase the risk of heart disease in people with a specific genetic mutation that slows the breakdown of caffeine in the body.
Regarding other health effects of coffee, some evidence suggests that drinking coffee may protect against type 2 diabetes and colon cancer.
Basically, it probably isn’t bad for you. It might even be a little bit good for you. But, moderation is key.
