Moderate means two to three 8-ounce cups per day, or up to about 250 milligrams of caffeine. Caffeine content varies by type of coffee bean, strength, length of time brewed, and other factors.


Possible harm:

Coffee is not completely devoid of risks. There is certainly a downside to coffee consumption:

• Caffeine, coffee’s main ingredient, is a mildly addictive stimulant with cardiovascular effects such as increased heart rate, increased blood pressure and occasional irregular heartbeat.
• Coffee has also been reported to aggravate previously existing gastrointestinal ulcers.
• In some people, caffeine causes nervousness, rapid heartbeat, palpitations, sleeplessness and irritability. It can even lead to health problems such as osteoporosis or high blood pressure.
• Drinking coffee increases the need to urinate.

Note: Moderate intakes of coffee or caffeine do not appear to have harmful effects.
