>> I'm probably sitting at like two cups a day.
>> I'll do one caffeinated and like usually a decaf um like mid-afternoon.
>> A new scientific statement from the American Heart Association looks at the latest research to date on caffeine and cardiovascular disease.
Consuming up to 400 mg of caffeine or up to five 8-oz cups of caffeinated coffee per day is safe and appears to be linked to a lower risk of cardiovascular disease for some people.
>> Available evidence suggests that caffeine may actually have protective effects, especially when it comes to the risk of future heart attack and the risk of diabetes.

He cautions higher doses of caffeine found in energy drinks and other products may cause harm.
>> There are many reports in young otherwise healthy people consuming energy drinks and developing this very fast and potentially dangerous heart rhythm disturbance.
