Drinking 4 Coffees a Day Is Bad for You Study Says
A lot of caffeine is bad for your health, according to a new study, and many people are consuming too much of it. A new report by the European Food Safety Authority says that more than 400 mg of caffeine a day, or about four cups of coffee, is linked to heart problems, insomnia and panic attacks. This safe amount of caffeine is halved for pregnant women. Many countries recommend about this amount of caffeine intake, but the problem, according to BBC, is that people still have too much. An EFSA spokesperson gave an example to BBC "If you have a bar of dark chocolate at 1100 and espresso with lunch, a tea at 1600 and vodka-Red Bull in the evening  that's a lot of caffeine over the day."
