- The American Heart Association has a new number for daily coffee—and a warning if you go over it
The American Heart Association states up to 5 cups of caffeinated coffee daily (400 mg caffeine) is safe for most adults and may lower heart disease risk, but exceeding 4 cups could increase heart failure risk. Black coffee without additives is emphasized for benefits, while energy drinks are warned against due to high caffeine content.
