Danger, drink coffee four times a day

Danger, drink coffee four times a day - No matter how big you are addicted to coffee, do not consume more than four cups a day. A study showed that excessive coffee consumption can increase the risk of dying young.

The study, conducted by researchers from the University of South Carolina showed men aged less than 55 years old who drank more than 28 cups a week had died young person is at risk 56 percent higher with a variety of causes. While in women, the risk is doubled compared with women who did not consume that amount.

"From our research, it seems safe to consume one to three cups of coffee a day," said a researcher Xuemei Sui, as reported by USA Today, Friday, August 16, 2013. "Drinking more than four cups of coffee a day can be harmful," said Sui who is also an assistant professor at the Arnold School of Public Health at the University of South Carolina, Columbia.

In a study published in the Mayo Clinic Proceedings, researchers recruited 43 727 men and women aged 20-87 years during 1971-2002. Sui defines one cup of coffee is 170-266 grams.

Furthermore, this study found no such risk in people with age more than 55 years. Researchers say there may be bias. Researchers may not include unhealthy elderly because they may be dead.

Reasons for the high risks of coffee consumption in people under 55 years old are not so clear, because the researcher during the study found both benefits and problems associated with coffee. Sui just say the caffeine in coffee can increase the average heart rate, blood pressure, and blood sugar levels. However, coffee is the main source of antioxidants.

Sui describes the study did not find a significant association between coffee consumption and mortality from heart disease. But, he said, more research is needed to look at the relationship between coffee and cancer. "Avoid drinking too much coffee," said Sui.
