#13I wonder why they didn't compare results for those that don't drink coffee at all?

#14Having not drunk an ANSI cup of ISO coffee, what is the approximate amount being discussed? A pack a day (of ground beans)? How many GreatBrittan cups are in, e.g. a typical Swedes' coffee?

Typically people quote between 80 and 100 mg of caffeine in a "standard cup" of coffee. A Starbucks "short" Blonde Roast has around 190 mg.
Caffeine content will vary widely depending on the type of bean, roasting time, and the amount of ground beans used to brew the cup.

#19I love coffee but I feel three per day is pushing it. Do people really drink much more than that?

I started coffee late in life. 2 cups a day is my thing, all before lunch because after that it messes with my sleep.
But I've worked with people where effectively there wasn't a moment in the day they weren't drinking coffee and they were going to get more pretty much constantly.
I didn't realize how much people drink until I started.
