Six or more cups of coffee in a day could be
dangerous: Study
Drinking six or more cups of coffee a day can be
harmful and increase the risk of heart ailment by up to 22 per cent, a recent study revealed.
The study was published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
In Australia, one in six people is affected by cardiovascular disease. It is a
major cause of death with one person dying from the disease every 12 minutes.
According to the World Health Organization,
cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death, yet one of the most
preventable. Investigating the association of long-term coffee consumption and
cardiovascular disease, researchers Dr Ang Zhou and Elina Hypponen of the
Australian Centre for Precision Health said that their research confirms the
point at which excess caffeine can cause high blood pressure, a precursor to
heart disease.
This is the first time an upper limit has been placed
on safe coffee consumption and cardiovascular health.”Coffee is the most commonly
consumed stimulant in the world – it wakes us up, boosts our energy and helps
us focus – but people are always asking `How much caffeine is too much?`,”
Hypponen said.”Most people would agree that if you drink a lot of coffee, you
might feel jittery, irritable or perhaps even nauseous – that’s because the
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,” Hypponen
added.
“We also know that risk of cardiovascular disease
increases with high blood pressure, a known consequence of excess caffeine
consumption,” Hypponen said.”In order to maintain a healthy heart and a healthy
blood pressure, people must limit their coffees to fewer than six cups a day –
based on our data six was the tipping point where caffeine started to
negatively affect cardiovascular risk,”
