Good news for coffee drinkers across
America: a U.S. government-
appointed panel of scientists has
found three to five cups a day doesn't
pose any long-term health risks.

In fact, a caffeine habit could even
reduce risks of cardiovascular disease
and type-2 diabetes. Just make sure
you take it easy on the cream and
sugar.

The Dietary Guidelines Advisory
Committee has been charged with
updating guidelines that act as
suggestions for other agencies to
follow, such as the FDA and
Department of Agriculture.

Roberto A. Ferdman from The
Washington Post reports that this
decision has broken the committee's
silence on coffee that's gone on for
over 40 years. One member of the
committee, Tom Brenna, a nutritionist
at Cornell University, said to Ferdman:

“I don’t want to get into implying coffee
cures cancer - nobody thinks that. But
there is no evidence for increased
risk, if anything, the other way
around.”
![Page 11: How Much Coffee Is Safe?](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ac60ff1a28ab262f8b47be/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

The dietary guidelines folks are
concerned that if you add too much
cream and sugar to your coffee you
are going to offset the benefits of
drinking coffee.
![Page 12: How Much Coffee Is Safe?](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ac60ff1a28ab262f8b47be/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

But, there are other concerns. So,
how much coffee is safe, and why is that?

How Much and Why?
![Page 14: How Much Coffee Is Safe?](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ac60ff1a28ab262f8b47be/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Time has published an article asking,
how much coffee should you be drinking.
![Page 15: How Much Coffee Is Safe?](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ac60ff1a28ab262f8b47be/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

The Dietary Guidelines Advisory
Committee concluded that strong
evidence shows moderate coffee
consumption (3 to 5 eight-ounce cups
per day, or up to 400 milligram/day
caffeine) isn’t tied to any long-term
dangers for healthy people.
![Page 16: How Much Coffee Is Safe?](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ac60ff1a28ab262f8b47be/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Now, the word “healthy” is key (read
on for more), and this is a general
statement, not a directive. In other
words, the committee isn’t saying that
everyone should drink 3 to 5 cups a
day.
![Page 17: How Much Coffee Is Safe?](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ac60ff1a28ab262f8b47be/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1347/how-

Even if it may offer some benefits, it’s
important to listen to your body. Some
people can drink a strong cup of
coffee and feel fantastic.
![Page 18: How Much Coffee Is Safe?](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ac60ff1a28ab262f8b47be/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Others may drink half a cup and feel
jittery and be left with an upset
stomach.
![Page 19: How Much Coffee Is Safe?](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ac60ff1a28ab262f8b47be/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

There’s a lot of individual variation
when it comes to how coffee makes
you feel.
![Page 20: How Much Coffee Is Safe?](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ac60ff1a28ab262f8b47be/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1347/how-

So, don’t take this as a green light to
down a pot a day. Consider what feels
best for you. (And if the answer is
none, there’s no reason to start
drinking java.)

In short, if you have stomach ulcers or
esophageal reflux you may want to cut
back on your coffee intake because
caffeine stimulates acid secretion.

If you have a troublesome anxiety
disorder and get more jittery after you
drink coffee you should probably drink
decaf or skip coffee entirely.
![Page 23: How Much Coffee Is Safe?](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ac60ff1a28ab262f8b47be/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1347/how-

All of us are different and to the extent
that coffee bothers you it may be wise
to cut back.
![Page 24: How Much Coffee Is Safe?](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042818/55ac60ff1a28ab262f8b47be/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

really good benefits from drinking
coffee.

benefits or organic coffee over regular
coffee hinge on the fact that healthy
