caffeine may help the heart by blocking the action of the chemical adenosine, which can cause disturbed rhythm.But such high quantities of caffeine -- 4+ cups of coffee every day -- has got to hurt us in other ways, surely.
I don't think the cost-benefit ratio is worth it.
I've cut down to one decent cup per day, after abstaining for over a week (I mean, a strong freshly-brewed cup bought on the high street). It prevents tolerance from forming, which means the one cup still has a very good kick to it. :thumb001: I've found when I drink too much coffee, I build up a tolerance, which means the good effects become less pronounced, and instead it leads to a jittery feeling. Caffeine overdose makes me feel nervous and sleepy.

If I want to protect my heart I will have to severely limit my coffee drinking habit.:blink:

If this is related to the same study that came out over a month ago, then decaffeinated coffee also achieves this benefit.

If this is true, you've made me the happiest man on Earth. :)
I've reduced the number, though. From five to three per day. Two are mandatory: one to wake up, one after the 2pm lunch.

I guess we will never be able to win :(
Beware a single espresso: Just one caffeine-packed cup can slow the blood flow to your heart

If I drink 4 cups of coffee in one day, my thoughts go around in loops, and they'll obsess for hours... It's a painful experience. I usually drink a cup a day but I have recently replaced coffee with green tea.
Pros and cons with everything and with everything in life moderation is king. <3
