Coffee and heart health: How many cups are safe?

The American Heart Association published a scientific statement concluding that consuming up to 400 mg of caffeine per day (about 5 cups of coffee) is generally safe for most adults and may lower the risk of several cardiovascular conditions. However, higher caffeine doses found in energy drinks may increase the risk of high blood pressure and arrhythmia, and more research is needed on caffeine's varying effects.
