How much coffee should you drink per day?

Not more than six cups, according to a new study.

In the end, there is a good compromise to determine the right amount of coffee to drink a day. A new study from the University of South Australia determined that six cups corresponded to the maximum that a person should consume daily. Not more than that, and you run the risk of increasing cardiovascular disease by 22%.

So, who knows what the final definitive answer can be (if there is one)? The fact is that moderate coffee drinkers can rest assured that their several cups of brain juice are going perfectly well. On this note, it's time to refuel …
