This is What Happens When You Drink 25 Cups of Coffee a Day

Coffee is healthy – but only in moderation, as it has long been said. According to a new study, this assumption is outdated. We reveal how much coffee is okay every day!

Are you one of those whose first route leads to the coffee machine in the morning? And who would like to drink nothing but coffee all day long? Then here is some good news for you: Contrary to what was previously thought, increased coffee consumption does not have a negative effect on the cardiovascular system. At least that’s the result of a study carried out at Queen Mary University in London.

Is coffee bad for the arteries?

The study was presented at the conference of the British Cardiovascular Society (BCS). According to the researchers, it is possible to drink up to 25 cups of coffee a day without the coffee promoting stiffening of the arteries. According to the scientists, this also suggests that coffee does not increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. Previous studies had indicated that a maximum of four to five cups of our beloved pick-me-up per day is safe.

Coffee for everyone! ❤️

For the new English study, more than 8,000 subjects were divided into three groups. Group 1 drank less than one cup of coffee a day, group 2 drank between one and three cups a day and group 3 drank at least three cups a day. Although subjects who drank up to 25 cups of coffee a day were excluded, even these did not ultimately show an increased risk of cardiovascular disease compared to the other participants. Other risk factors such as age, sex, smoking and drinking behaviour, height and weight, diet, blood pressure and ancestry were also considered in the study.

Average was five cups a day

In order to verify the results, a further investigation is planned, as study author Dr. Kenneth Fung reveals: “Although our study also involved people who drink up to 25 cups per day, the average consumption of the group with the highest consumption was five cups. We want to take a closer look at these people in the future in order to set tolerable limits for consumption.”

But until then, passionate coffee consumers should not panic, but rather enjoy their coffee. 🍮
