What's wrong with 5 cups of coffee a day?



Studies show that moderate caffeine consumption (2-4 cups per day) has beneficial health effects. Excess consumption is linked to adverse effects. There is an optimal dose when it comes to caffeine. Building up tolerance to where you need six or more cups is where you get into trouble.


I doubt the studies show such a stark drop off at cup 5 that it's "insane" or anything...


Missing out on that 6th cup!


Coffee doesn't even do anything when you take that much of it all the time.
