This article does not mention "mg", "milligram", or even just the word "caffeine", not links out to the actual research. So whoever upvoted this to the front page: shame on you. We can be more judicial than that.

#32It's safe for the heart because the stomach will kill us first?

#33Having 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?
I would guess 25 cups translates to an excessive amount anywhere in the world.

#34When we parametrize complex systems in studies such as this, I feel we tend to lose the forest for the trees. Okay, so maybe 25 cups of coffee a day won't destroy my heart. But this is what happens when I have 5 cups of coffee a day: 1) I get jumpy and I feel anxious. If I drink too much I start to feel what I can only describe as existential dread (I know it's weird). 2) I can't hold on to things because my hands ar…

Not weird at all. It’s that free-form, nameless, unspecified anxiety.

#35I love coffee but I feel three per day is pushing it. Do people really drink much more than that?
I probably drink 6-8 cans of soda daily, though they've got less caffeine than a cup of coffee.
I find I just like to sip on something constantly, and water gives me a headache.

#36Maybe one day we'll reach the final headline:

#37I drank five to six cups a day, and felt like I desperately needed it, and scoffed at anyone who suggested I try getting by with less.
At some point I stumbled on an article about the adenosine receptors in your brain will actually compensate for this much caffeine by just growing more of them. I also read that you can actually "kill" these extra receptors by going cold turkey for a week.
So I did it, and it sucked (the second and third days were the worst). But that was a year ago and I now get an equal if not better effect from two cups a coffee each day.

#38This article is plastered all over the web with similar title and content wording as if it was copy-pasted and slightly edited numerous times. Sadly no article links.
Eventually I found this PDF: https://heart.bmj.com/content/heartjnl/105/Suppl_6/A8.2.full...

#39I tried to find the original source for this, but this is all I could find: https://www.bhf.org.uk/what-we-do/news-from-the-bhf/news-arc...
It doesn't go into too much detail on the research.

#40I don't have any links to hand but I'm fairly darn certain that arrhythmias start showing up way before anyone gets to 25 cups per day, not to mention fluid balance/kidney issues, which can lead to congestive heart failure.
TLDR; arterial stiffness is only one measure of "heart health".
