FULL STORY: Since Sunday is National Coffee Day, we thought we’d caution you so you don’t go overboard celebrating . . .
Just how much caffeine is TOO MUCH caffeine? According to one cardiologist, caffeine consumption is safe up to a point for most people who don’t have a heart condition.
The American Heart Association and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration say that point is around three to four cups of coffee per day for most people.
Depending on the strength of your coffee, three to four cups is somewhere between 300 to 400 milligrams of caffeine.
To hit that level with other drinks, you’d need to drink one to three energy drinks . . . four to five cans of Coke . . . or 10 to 15 cups of green tea.
And some of the signs we’ve had too much caffeine include: insomnia, jitteriness, heart palpitations, excessive sweating, nausea, and headaches.
