Accepted Answer

Coffee.: Drinking one cup of coffee per day is fine.  There are some touted health benefits to coffee.  Just make sure it's not one of those fancy calorie-laden store-sold coffee creations.  Just have a simple cup of coffee, with milk and sugar if you choose.

3: That is not show that three or four cups of coffee a day are actually good for your health

Question 8

what is the healthiest time of day to drink coffee?

Accepted Answer

Probably morning....: Depends on what you mean by healthy. If you are drinking caffeinated coffee, drinking it earlier in the day is less likely to cause you problems falling asleep at night, especially if you are sensitive to caffeine. Some people will have problems falling asleep at night if they consume coffee after 12 pm. Otherwise, if caffeine really doesn't cause you these problems, anytime is fine for coffee.

Question 9

help please! is drinking more than four pots of coffee a day bad for your health?

Accepted Answer

Coffee: Four pots of coffee is a lot of chemicals, it likely isn't a good idea on many levels. Moderation osa good idea.

Question 10

how much coffee is too much? i probably drink   about 36 oz  a day. i also drink 4-5 liters of water a day. doesn't bother me, but want to be healthy.

Accepted Answer

Two to three: The best amount of caffeine to have is about 300 mg or less per day. This equates to about 2-3 cups, depending on how strong they are. Drinking more is not unsafe per se, but you won't get any additional alertness, and the diuretic effects will make you urinate frequently. Hope this helps!
